Are you tired of experiencing the same patterns and want to heal at the root of your symptoms? I specialize in treating trauma , addictions, and self esteem issues - in particularly with women and teenagers. When my clients first come in, their lives are overrun by fear and insecurities. They carry around deep shame about who they are and never feel quite “good enough”. They want to be confident and heal the patterns that are holding them back but do not know where to start.

Hi, and welcome! My name is Michelle Bivas, MSW, LSW and I'm so happy to have you here! I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's degree in social work, both from Rutgers University. My educational areas of concentration include women's and gender studies, sexuality studies, trauma , mental health, and behavioral health. I have direct experience helping clients with a wide range of issues including trauma , anxiety, depression, relationship and work issues, self-esteem, identity work, and much more. I work with clients in a dynamic manner that allows for life's little moments to hold as much importance as the big ones.

Hello, I am so glad you’re here. My name is Sharon and I am a Holistic Therapist, Spiritualist and Intuitive who provides safe and inclusive, open-minded and service-rich experiences that facilitate transformative and sustainable healing for my clients. Congratulations on making the first step towards change. I realize this is a big step, and having been on both sides of the chair, I know how important it is to feel a good connection and trust with your therapist. I am a solution-focused Trauma specialist who combines clinical modalities that include (but aren’t limited to) Somatic, Quantum Metaphysics & Energy Healing.

Do you want to start making changes in your life? I can offer support and guidance to help you in this process. You can expect my full attention, compassion, and non-judgment as you begin self exploration and change. I am trained to work with anxiety, depression, addiction, eating disorders, and first responders. I am currently training in Somatic Experiencing, an approach that supports the body in healing from trauma . Our work together can: 1) help you learn ways to manage your challenges; 2) improve your day-to-day functioning which can reduce distress and strengthen relationships; 3) increase self-awareness and self-acceptance.

Emotional suffering can be unbearable. It doesn't have to last forever...I use multiple approaches and methods to help people feel better and manage their behavior, emotions, and relationships. I challenge you to "take control of your life." I am a clinical psychologist extensively trained in individual and group therapies. I have particular expertise and experience with individuals who suffer from depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm, eating disorders, personality disorders, trauma , violence, and substance abuse. I also have extensive experience in forensic psychology, conduct forensic assessments, and have served as an expert witness in numerous legal matters.

If you would like to resolve longstanding feelings of depression and anxiety, feelings of loss, the symptoms of trauma , or a tendency to repeat the same problems in relationships, you may have found that time-limited, symptom-focused therapy hasn't relieved your suffering. Perhaps it has even discouraged you from thinking you can find a lasting solution to your problems. You may feel hopeless about being able to stop what seems like a repeating series of crises, feeling resigned to suffer or cope with difficulty.

Are life’s stressors impacting your sense of well-being, your family life or other relationships? Anxiety and depression can immobilize us, leaving us feeling a loss of control and sometimes we just can't make things better on our own. Together we can identify which obstacles are preventing you from achieving your personal goals and then determine how to help you overcome those obstacles. By understanding our past and how we have come to our current situations, we can better prepare and take charge of our lives. Understanding and accepting ourselves is the pathway to freedom and happiness.

First and foremost, thank you for being here. I know of the incredible strength it takes to look for a therapist. As a trauma survivor myself, I know how important it is to feel like you can relate to and feel safe with your therapist. At Feelings Forward Wellness, we believe that treating trauma requires a unique approach. We consider having a connected relationship with yourself, where you feel safe from the inside out, to be of utmost importance. FFW specializes in trauma treatment for childhood emotional and physical neglect survivors.

We are accepting new clients! As a supervised Licensed Associate Counselor, I have worked with first responders, adults, older adults, adolescents with behavioral challenges, families, couple's and individuals struggling with mood and trauma related disorders. I have found that clients often feel overwhelmed by uncontrollable factors in their lives and believe there are limits to making satisfying changes. My goal is to help you overcome those challenges while become the best version of you! I look forward to working with you!

Facing life's challenges takes courage and there is always a path toward change, but sometimes we need support along the way. Counseling can help develop insight and healthier ways of coping, as well as, increase self-fulfillment. I work with clients to better understand their emotions, change unhealthy behavior patterns and work through family and relationship conflict. Learning to cope with anxiety and depression, processing grief or trauma and recovering from substance abuse are common problems I work on with clients. Together, we can navigate what often seems overwhelming when faced alone.

I have been a therapist specializing in family dynamics for over 20 years. I treat children (as young as 5) adolescents and adults who are experiencing difficulty with behaviors, thoughts/feelings and family conflict. My experience is deeply rooted in attending to the needs associated with trauma . This experience has allowed me to successfully treat complicated issues such as, domestic violence, divorce, anxiety & depression, manage family conflict and provide parenting support. I intimately understand the intricacies of these obstacles and can successfully lead my clients through the complicated physical & emotional discomfort.

My ideal client is actively contemplating making changes in their life. They are prepared to discuss, explore, and process their trauma history and to find meaning in their experiences. They are able to work towards identifying how they would like to see their quality of life change (for example, reduce and better manage anxiety) and are prepared to take the necessary steps to do so. Additionally, the client can tolerate being challenged when their thinking or behaviors are inconsistent with their goals.

Life is hard and trauma of all kinds can wear down the strongest of us! But it is the strong who actually ask for help to deal with the challenges that life today throws at us. As a Cognitive-Behavioral therapist who practices from the Strengths Perspective, I work with my clients to identify those thoughts, behaviors and situations that might be holding them back, and implement a plan that will meet their goals. My goal is not to keep anyone in therapy for the rest of their lives, but rather to utilize therapy to overcome their challenges and achieve the inner peace they deserve.
