Teletherapy for Fanwood, NJ

"Restore Harmony & Peace Within" We offer individual and family counseling and supportive services utilizing a strengths and empowerment approach that focuses on cognitive-behavioral therapeutic techniques. We counsel clients from pre-adolescence through adulthood. Our practice focuses in treating adults with depression/major depression, bi-polar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, anger and stress management difficulties, gay/lesbian factors and substance abuse issues. It is of utmost importance to assist the client in restructuring thought processes while stressing the power of positive thinking for positive results.

Upon entering therapy, my clinical approach is tailored to meet each individual's needs. There is not a cookie cutter person, thus, there is no cookie cutter approach to therapy. I work from an eclectic approach, incorporating a multitude of therapeutic modalities to assist my clients in meeting their treatment goals. I generally incorporate cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, person centered, and solution focused therapy strategies into each session. My clients and I will identify struggles and develop empowerment strategies to improve quality of life. In a non judgmental and supportive environment, one can feel safe to explore encountered problems.

Hello. My name is Cheryl Stein, and I am here to help you work through whatever is keeping you from living your most fulfilling and authentic life. I've been in the field of mental health for a few decades, and have experience working with children, adolescents, couples, families and adults on a variety of issues. From hospitals, to schools, intensive outpatient programs and private practice, I am experienced in quickly identifying areas of strength and challenge, and together, we will go on a journey to discover how your path to happiness is being blocked.

Do you want to thrive instead of just survive each day? Self care and self compassion are key components to mental and emotional health. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, family issues, low self-esteem, or stress management, you are not alone. Therapy is a place just for you, to be heard, validated and supported. I aim to help you better understand whatever issues you are dealing with and to learn positive, healthy ways to cope with and manage these stressors. My experience is primarily with late adolescent and adult women.

After 20+ years as a couple's therapist (28 years in the mental health industry) those that know me describe me as many things. Causer of transformation, author (The Hijacked Brain) Energy Healer, teacher, leader and all around lover of life. But 10 years ago, I faced a reality that shook my foundation, caused me unspeakable sorrow, confusion and a sense of brokenness. I had to put to the test every clinical and spiritual principle in my toolbox. This is when I dove into energy work and discovered new ways to alchemize my clinical training and my personal experience into the tools and practices that I now share with my clients.

If you are tired of feeling this way, know that there is hope. Sometimes life seems to get off track, but you can reclaim your life...regaining strength, balance, direction, and meaning. Therapy can be a place to begin this journey and gain lasting relief. I've been helping people for over 20 years with a variety of issues. So if you are dealing with trauma, abuse history, depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, or just day-to-day stressors, I will work with you to achieve the healing you deserve.

As a therapist, I am most effective when I work with clients who want to change their lives but struggle with knowing what changes to make and how to make them. Your specific challenge may be related to anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self esteem, body image, disordered eating, or relationships with others, or you may be struggling with generally feeling "stuck" and knowing that what you're doing isn't working any longer. By working together in a supportive therapeutic relationship, we can find and practice ways to overcome your difficulties so you can start living your most fulfilled life.
