Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Collingswood, NJ

I have extensive experience working with clients with a history of trauma and/or PTSD , using short-term, evidence-based treatments (Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy) in which you set clear goals and have structured homework between sessions. I also love to work with clients in longer term treatment, building up a strong foundational relationship before slowly unpacking complex trauma and the various ways survivors learn to protect themselves over the years. I have experience working with veterans and civilians with histories of sexual trauma , intimate partner violence, combat trauma , and moral injury.

I approach treatment as a collaboration between two partners, working together to deepen our understanding of your concerns, and construct alternative ways of thinking, being, relating and feeling. As a relational psychodynamic therapist, I consider our relationship an essential mechanism of change.

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a network of over 20 Psychiatric providers offering Virtual and In-office evaluations, medication mgnt. and therapy. I work to create a collaborative and safe, yet challenging therapeutic environment with clients. Together we work to uncover and explore the ways one’s experiences and current life circumstances can shape the very lens through which we view the world and ourselves. Developing awareness of one’s underlying beliefs and patterns empowers us to regain a sense of control and strength over the very problematic choices and behaviors that interfere with a deserved quality of life.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in group and individual settings. Many youth are feeling the impact of the political atmosphere, and extreme transitions of their social and personal identities. Our environments are constantly changing, relationships shifting, and therapy can be a place for you to process your feelings and experiences.

Hi there and welcome! Reaching out for support can be really challenging, especially when feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable. I’m so glad you are taking this courageous and important step in caring for yourself. My name is Danielle and my priority as a therapist is to provide clients with a safe and non-judgmental space to be seen and heard, exactly as they are. I take an empathetic, authentic, and inclusive approach to therapy and commit to respectfully and compassionately meeting you where you are in the healing process, while guiding you through growth.

I believe that each person already has the potential to improve their lives, and I enjoy helping individuals find their own skills to accomplish their goals. The bond a person has with their therapist is one of the best indicators of success, and I take time to establish rapport so that you can feel comfortable sharing and working towards growth with me. I am dual licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and enjoy helping individuals find recovery from various issues.

I believe that creating a safe space for growth is paramount and that making sure the client feels comfortable and heard is key in creating that space for growth and empowerment.

I believe in the power of positive change through consistency, practice, patience, and support.

It is with great pleasure that I have practiced with individuals of all ages for the last 25 years. I enjoy building trust in the therapeutic relationship-even with those who are resistant or not sure if therapy is for them. Accompanying individuals on their journey to self-discovery and witnessing their transformation is an enormous privilege of my job. People come to therapy looking to "fix" things. We forget that often we contain the solution to our problems, but that the solutions are buried under the residue of stressful life events, trauma and loss.

I value creating a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients and encourage a non-judgmental space, where you can speak freely about what is occurring and can truly understand that you are not alone. As Ram Dass stated, “We’re all just walking each other home.” I have experience working with adolescences, adults, couples, and families. I work with an array of ages, with a focus on depression, anxiety, behavioral and familial issues, relationship/couple issues, LGBTQ+ issues, grief/loss, PTSD , chronic health issues, and severe and persistent mental illness.

Far too often we are weighed down by heavy emotions; intrusive thoughts and conditioned patterns. Through my varied experience I have been able to witness firsthand--that even in the most dire circumstances positive change is possible. My philosophy is to provide you with patience; positivity and pragmatism while varying the therapeutic approach to fit your current needs. To foster motivation and facilitate insight, I utilize a combination of strength-based techniques. I also believe in the significance of incorporating your interests and creativity (e.g. art, music, theatre and humor) into sessions.

The right fit with a therapist can be the most important factor in improving your mental health. I strive to provide a supportive environment in which my clients feel comfortable processing past experiences, exploring the present, and planning for the future. My approach to therapy is person-centered and relational and I tailor therapy to fit the unique needs of my clients. I will help you to explore the role of relationships in your life as they influence your overall well-being.

For over 33 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and groups to help them manage stress, heal emotional wounds, and bring into awareness past learning that may block happiness today. Individuals want direct but supportive listening and honest feedback. My desire is to gently motivate, educate, and inspire Individuals to establish healthy emotional boundaries. Individuals will feel motivated, educated, and inspired to establish healthy emotional boundaries so that they can positively and productively increase their self-confidence and self-esteem.
