Female Therapists in Downtown, Jersey City, NJ

Maybe others would look at you and think everything is fine, great even - but inside, you struggle. You might consider yourself an over-achiever or people-pleaser, even if you come off as independent. We'll define the main issues in your life, whether based in the past/present/future and identify strategies to help you feel less stressed in the day to day, while also exploring your experiences to gain a deeper understanding of the story of how you came to be who you are, and write the story you want for your life moving forward.

I work with teens and adults. I use modalities like art therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Relief, and CBT to help people move toward happier, healthier lifestyles. I have a special focus on grief and loss as well as perinatal and postpartum experiences and developmental disabilities. I have also worked in hospital-based labor and delivery settings supporting women and families facing all kinds of loss and difficulty. I am a certified yoga teacher and offer meditation and body-based work in addition to talk-therapy. See if I'm accepting new clients and book online at www.resolutioncc.com/team

Before you can even grab your coffee the intrusive thoughts and feelings flood in. The urge to do compulsions is on repeat in your mind throughout the day. Other people seem connected to their life, moving through it naturally and freely..... You want that too. I hear you! That's why I work with women to help them let go of the doubt & the need for certainty and to find peace & contentment in their life. I want you to learn how to stop answering the "what if..." questions and lean into your values-filled life instead.

I love walking with women through challenging seasons of life, especially women navigating relationships and empowerment in midlife and those in their early 20s who are seeking meaning and trying to go deeper in self-awareness and insight. My clients come to me for things like relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, inner child work, setting boundaries, life transitions, emotional regulation, shame, and codependency. I also create a safe space for clients who wish to explore their healing journey through a faith-based lens. See if I'm accepting new clients and book online at www.resolutioncc.com/team

You are trying to make changes in your life but you do not know where to start, and that might lead you to feel anxious and depressed. You may experience racing or intrusive thoughts, sadness, irritability, and a lack of motivation. You are struggling to cope with these feelings on your own. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help you identify, prioritize, and achieve your goals to create a happier and healthier mindset and lifestyle.

Through my studies and my years in practice, I have had the opportunity to gain experience with different populations and varying clinical complications. I have a certificate in Violence Against Women and Children and have experience in working with clients who have endured trauma. I am currently working on becoming a certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, which has done wonders in my work with couples.

I help stressed-out, overachieving women overcome impostor syndrome and dissatisfaction. What makes me come alive is seeing women realize the unlimited potential within them. When women can take care of themselves personally, their light shines through, and the best version of them shows up professionally. And that version is a badass who stands tall, knows her worth, and lights up the world. As a result of working with me, women go from just chasing the brass ring to achieving sustainable happiness in every aspect of their lives. Licensed in New York, New Jersey, California, Florida, and South Carolina.

You know how sometimes we examine our situation and wonder how it is that we got here? There's so much going on in the world today. In examining our current state we can experience a mixture of emotions: fear, frustration, and a longing for something different. This is normal. However, sometimes these feelings can become more overwhelming than we would like, and they begin to affect us in different areas of our life such as work, family, and relationships.

You're in the right place if you are going through big change and you’ve had painful experiences or trauma earlier in your life. When you've experienced trauma, this change is even harder. Despite the DIY and talk therapy you've already tried, you still feel stuck in the same patterns. You can feel overwhelmed when the usual ways you cope no longer work. You can't stop thinking about the past. You sometimes feel like the world is too much. Even though you feel alone and afraid, you don't want anyone to know. All of this makes it hard to find help that actually works.

Is work or school stressing you out? Are you tired of feeling on edge and not being happy? Are you having a hard time with friends/bullies or the changes in your life? If this is you, It is time for you to take care of yourself and address what is holding you back from a fulfilling and happier life. We often wear many hats and don't regularly take the time to address our needs. This often leads to being stressed, depressed, and anxious. I believe that everyone, no matter their life circumstances, can heal and grow. I am confident that you can not just survive in life, but thrive!

My approach to therapy is client centered with an integration of Eclectic Therapy. Each person presents with a unique set of challenges that requires an integrative approach. My experience encompasses working with struggling couples, women with trauma, college students, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, stress management, cultural issues, trauma, and life transitions. I teach my clients how to work through conflict, and embrace the challenge while instilling hope.

My goal is to create a safe and collaborative space where you will be able to feel seen and heard. Therapy, with me, will be a non-judgmental environment created to make you feel comfortable and confident to begin your journey to wellness. I am a compassionate, understanding, and energetic licensed clinical social worker who uses an eclectic mix of techniques tailored to fit each individual's needs. My wide range of experiences and areas of expertise serve my clients well.

I help women overcome anxiety. I have a down-to-earth approach that helps you stop negative thinking, build self-trust, and cultivate confidence so that you can live a happier life. I have over 20 years’ experience that can help you gain a new perspective, set healthy boundaries, improve communication and find positive change you really want inside. I will see you, hear you, and gently nudge you to put some space between you and your thoughts so that you can handle anxiety, navigate relationship issues, and manage job stress in a productive way.

Hey there, I'm Allie! As a millennial, I have a unique understanding of the pressures we are all facing today. Social media, having kids (or not), career goals, relationships, friendships, family planning... it can feel overwhelming! My clients work with me to manage their emotions and feel more in control of their life; whether that's throughout pregnancy and postpartum, between themselves and their young child, or figuring out the path they want their life to take next. By working together, we improve your confidence and self-esteem, strengthen your relationships, and reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

I specialize in anxiety in women . You are someone who works hard at what you do, yet still feel unfulfilled. The continuous cycle of negative thoughts, difficulty in relationships, or life changes continue to sit at the pilot seat in your mind. While you know this isn’t a way to continue, you have had difficulty in managing these things on your own. Finding the time, resources, & support has been difficult. You no longer want to continue going day to day in this state and are ready to get out of fight or flight mode, raise your self esteem, and not constantly be on edge. You need a space to explore your core elements & want support.

You're not a bad mom. You're overwhelmed. My clients are stressed and exhausted by modern motherhood. They're trying really hard to keep their heads above water. They don't feel good enough and question if they're doing it right. They feel depressed, anxious, angry, and disconnected from themselves. Depression and anxiety impact 1 in 7 women who are pregnant and up to one year postpartum. Great news is that it's treatable. You're not doing anything wrong and you're not to blame.
