Couples Counseling Therapists in Morganville, NJ

**Note: Our office is currently accepting new patients and we look forward to hearing from you** Happiness, peace of mind, and satisfying relationships with others are things that most people strive to have in their life. In order to overcome emotional obstacles, you must first start with a therapist whom you can develop a trusting relationship - someone who creates a safe, comfortable, nurturing and non-judgmental environment where you can begin to rejuvenate, reconnect and renew.

I believe in the power & process of therapy, and the importance of creating an atmosphere that allows people to feel safe, comfortable, and heard without judgement. Therapy allows us to learn more about ourselves and rediscover our strengths. Therapy can provide us the tools to quiet our minds, live fully alive, and present focused.

Are you feeling stuck? Stressed? Depressed? Couple or relationship difficulties? Going through a painful divorce? Is it derailing your life? In practice for 25 years, I can help you feel better and resolve difficulties. In a warm and open atmosphere, I offer an approach tailored to each client’s needs for support, insight, and emotional regulation. Together we can address your unique concerns. I was trained in individual and marriage and family therapy in Manhattan at the Blanton-Peale Graduate Institute and have a graduate degree from Yale University.

Therapy is a process in which a client & therapist work together to move toward stated goals & goals that develop throughout the process. We can create the relationships & the life that we want. I work with clients who want to become empowered to take control of things they feel they have lost control over & to push themselves in areas where they wish to achieve better results. My practice partners are accepting new clients. Sessions are telehealth & we have some availability in person... Call our office or visit our "Empowerment Center" website to schedule an appointment with one of us... www.empowermentcenternj.com

I work with clients of all backgrounds and problem types. I especially like working with people who are committed to changing their circumstances and behaviors. I am very experienced in treating anxiety disorders, depression, bi-polar disorder. Couples and marital issues are also very familiar and comfortable for me.

TELETHERAPY ONLY. I am a warm, genuine, and compassionate therapists who work with adolescents, young adults, and adults in a nurturing and non-judgmental environment. With patience, and understanding, I will help clients and families overcome obstacles and make positive, lasting changes. Together we will strive to understand troublesome behavioral patterns that interfere with the capacity to lead a more satisfying and fulfilling life. My approach is to help clients find their strengths, while creating opportunities to grow emotionally healthier and stronger.

My approach to therapy considers that the mind and body are integral parts of a whole being. Achieving balance between these parts is an important component of the healing process and my goal is to help clients achieve this stability. Anxiety and depression can be unbearable and sometimes immobilizing; relationship problems can weaken our capacity for experiencing happiness; death, divorce and trauma can leave us hopeless and empty. My therapeutic approach strives to help client's emotional wounds heal in order to regain inner peace and improve personal growth.

*Currently only seeing clients via telehealth* Beginning therapy, whether you are going for the first time or are restarting, can feel difficult and takes courage. Finding the right therapist for you offers the opportunity to make long lasting changes. One of my greatest strengths is the ability to develop a strong rapport when working with clients. Everyone deserves to be heard!

To me, it's a privilege to work with my clients to find the solutions that help them cope with the struggles in their lives. I work with individuals, couples and families to help them overcome struggles, achieve goals, and establish better communication. Although I help my clients work through a broad range of issues, I specialize in DBT, personality disorders and performing interventions. Additionally, I am a fitness enthusiast and love to encourage my clients to lead healthy lives in all aspects.

NOW OFFERING VIDEO COUNSELING SESSIONS. Are you feeling the impact of stress, depression, and/or anxiety? Do you have relationship issues or problems stemming from miscommunication? Have you ever felt that you and your partner were speaking different languages or maybe you just weren't communicating effectively? Maybe you felt that you and a loved one just didn't understand one another. A breakdown in communication pulls people apart and can destroy relationships. I aim to heal these communication breakdowns and to help you through the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress that you may be experiencing.

Is your family arguing, disconnected and are you feeling like it's groundhogs day?

If you are seeking connection, happiness, and peace in your life because you don't want to continue to live this way I can help. You can have meaningful relationships and joy. Your child can feel better. Life can be different.

I am here to provide support in developing healthy coping mechanisms, stress management techniques, and strategies for managing triggers or setbacks. With my professional guidance, we will succeed in meeting your goals, exploring your concerns, and working towards positive change.

As a therapist I first begin by meeting my clients where they are. My second aim is to understand the client as a whole and not just their diagnosis/issue. I don't focus on the diagnoses/issues, i like to assist my clients in being the best version of themselves. I believe that everyone is an individual, even in sharing the same diagnosis or life issues, I strive to treat every client as an individual when treating. It sometimes can be challenging to find a therapist you trust as well as connect with. I strive to always keep an open mind as well as show empathy.

I am a bi-lingual, bi-cultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I use evidence - based treatment to manage anxiety, depression, trauma and distress caused by life stressors. I work with young adults, adults across the life span and couples facing relationship conflicts. I also work with individuals and family members affected by substance use and co-dependence issues. I am a compassionate, empathetic and non-judgmental, with over 15 years of experience helping others. Each client is different. I begin with a thorough assessment, and then together, my client and I tailor a treatment plan of action.

Support is here; don't delay...I strive to provide an environment that advocates compassion, support, and understanding. My goal is to help resolve conflict by offering strategies and techniques to promote change while helping you feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I utilize various approaches, including solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral techniques. I provide therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I offer services to support you with including, but not limited to, stress, sadness, and anxiety. I would enjoy speaking with you further so that I may answer any questions.

I have over 17 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and groups. My goal is to help you achieve the results you want from counseling as quickly and safely as possible. My approach is supportive, non-judgmental and emphatic. I am solution focused. I help clients to identify their problem areas and acquire the skills they need to lead more satisfying lives.

My ideal client is person who has been experiencing some difficulties understanding and or manipulating through their environment. Perhaps this client needs a group to work overcome shyness and learn to speak up for themselves or perhaps this client misreads social situations. My ideal clients range from 3-35. I service struggling parents/families and teens/young adults/adults in areas of depression, anxiety, and self-care. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, I will be offering teletherapy sessions as an option to any individuals who are having a difficult time adjusting to this ever evolving health crisis.
