"I've worked as a therapist for ten years doing a combination of Intensive In-Home Counseling (IIC), private practice, and working in schools for children with behavioral/academic/psychiatric issues. I offer individual as well as group therapy; I currently run a social skills group for adults on the Autism Spectrum and will be starting a teen social skills group in September 2019. I believe in working with the family as well as the child when working with adolescents. I enjoy working with adolescents as well as adults, and appreciate the unique differences of each client. I have in-person and telehealth appointments available"

"I emphasize a collaborative approach to treatment utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and when appropriate, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also trained in Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES). I specialize in treating adults whose primary presenting problem involves Anxiety Disorders (e.g., Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Phobias, Social Anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Potential clients are encouraged to download and read the client treatment manual from my website (www.jerseyshoreanxiety.com) to get a sense of how I conceptualize the treatment process."

"I believe the best indicator for successful outcomes in the counseling process is a trusting therapeutic relationship. I employ evidence-based practices in a warm and empathic environment to bring about meaningful change and personal growth. With 10 years experience in counseling and psychiatric rehabilitation, I have supported children, adolescents and adults in realizing their personal goals and living their best life. "

"There are times in all of our lives when we could use some extra support. Sometimes discussing issues with family members and friends can be challenging and uncomfortable. Feeling hurt, misunderstood, angry, and confused are all normal emotions that each of us feel. Struggling with addiction, mental health issues, and the stress that comes with every-day life can put strains on our relationships, finances, and self-esteem. My goal is to assist in providing you with hope, guidance, perspective, and professional insight."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, and their families. I have worked in a variety of mental health settings, including intensive in home therapy through the NJ State Children's System of Care. During this time, I have treated a vast array of diverse psychological issues, in particular, adolescents diagnosed with Anxiety disorders, including OCD. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) as the treatment protocol. I have completed intensive training in Exposure and Ritual Prevention (ERP) at the Center for Treatment and Study of Anxiety through the University of Pennsylvania."

"My hope is that those who seek me out are open to the often complex process of strengthening themselves as an individual. Everyone has room for growth and through a team effort of exploring your individual being, I am confident that you can progress in the ways you may be hoping to. "

"Do you have a nagging voice inside that is wondering when you will make YOU a priority? Engaging in therapy can bring clarity, growth, understanding, and change. Starting the process though is nerve wracking & overwhelming. I work with clients to create a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where you can express your "unedited" self, learn new skills, and build better relationships(with yourself too!). While this learning can occur independently with the use of self-help tools, working collaboratively with a therapist can make the journey toward change faster, less isolating, and even sometimes a bit fun. "

"I believe that change starts with being validated, heard, and understood. However, this is the just first step on the path to creating a more fulfilling life. My goal is to help you create a life worth living while also working on the stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorder, or whatever it is that is preventing you from moving forward. Together, we then create new ways of thinking, coping, and behaving while following your own morals and values."

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Music Therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I believe everyone can achieve wellness, whether you struggle with ADHD, depression, anxiety, social skills deficits, being bullied or struggling to find your right path. I engage clients in a variety of evidenced based practices to assist them in meeting their identified goals. Based on your strengths and gifts, together we will partner to find solutions to barriers holding you back from being your best self. "

"I've worked in clinical social work for nearly 30 years. I have a perspective that understands anxiety issues, especially during life transitions. However, I recognize the resilience that allows each of us to survive and thrive. I believe that effective therapy bridges the gap between anxiety and that resilience.My experiences in domestic violence, in hospitals with seriously ill patients, with adolescents and their families in drug and alcohol treatment centers, and ten years as a school social worker in an affluent suburb have afforded me the opportunity to assist clients through challenges we face."

""Sometimes in life, we become so focused on the finish line that we fail to find joy in the journey." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf- Do you feel your mind getting in the way of reaching your fullest potential? I work towards creating a warm, positive environment in which clients can embrace the journey to change and uncover their fullest potentials. I have experience in working with adolescents and adults in various settings, including Substance Abuse Programs and coordinating Eating Disorder programs as well. I empower my clients to find courage within themselves to make positive changes in their lives."

"My name is Noelle Derhay and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor with a genuine belief that people can be the creators of their own success stories. Hope happens when provided the vital tools to cultivate courage and strength from within. I prefer to utilize a holistic Wellness based approach in order to promote optimism and confidence-building through goal orientation from the very start with the intention of reducing stress & increasing joy. I keep in mind that clients are the experts in their lives in order to create a collaborative process that can most beneficially suit each individuals therapeutic needs. "

"Welcome. If you're reading this, you are considering a change. Look no further. I have helped individuals, couples & families (adolescents and children) work through the challenges that life brings, no matter how difficult they may seem."

"First of all, I seek to offer clients a sense of emotional safety and acceptance, whether he or she is dealing with a troubled marriage or a troubled child, whether issues arise from chronic conditions like anxiety, OCD or depression, or sudden and dramatic change of life events such as divorce, illness or loss of a loved one. I seek to assist clients in understanding the larger framework of their life situation and to establish with them reasonable, step by step goals to achieve personal growth, emotional health and relational healing. "

"I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families. My background in parish ministry as well as my experience as an adjunct faculty member at a university have given me a great perspective on dealing with people. I work with people who are in crisis, those making major life decisions, families who are grieving, children having issues in school and social situations, and people who are looking to process some of the issues they are facing or have faced in their life."

"I know that choosing the right psychologist for your needs is a big step; one that takes courage. I treat each person and their concerns with respect, confidentiality, and nonjudgmentally. I have expertise in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT); skills I honed during my training at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital. This approach allows you to better understand how your thinking patterns may lead to unnecessary distress in your life. We work together to set goals in many areas of your life: anxiety, fears, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, obsessions/compulsions, to name a few."

"Often we experience situations that can cause us to feel overwhelmed and sometimes powerless. Maybe we can't stop thinking about situations in the past or we can't get negative possibilities out of our head. Maybe we are having difficulty feeling heard or find it hard to find a neutral person who listens and understands. Maybe we just need some tools and skills to help manage whatever difficult situation we may be in. Maybe we have tried everything, and it is not working. One, two, or all of these experiences happen to almost everyone. My approach focuses on how to empower you to create the change you would like to see in your life."

"I am a licensed professional counselor and a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor with 15 years of experience working in counseling. I work with adults and children to help them address current issues they are experiencing and to work towards their personal goals."

"" Happiness is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it." As women, we tend to think we can handle all difficulties on our own. Sometimes it's important to take a step back and ask for help. My practice focuses on women and the struggles they face in their demanding lives. I strive to support you on your journey to health and renewed happiness. Let me help you work through some of life's difficult challenges, such as depression (both generalized and postpartum), adjustment to change, relationship issues, anxiety, struggles with weight, or life coaching."
