Therapists in Pennsville, NJ

I have served as an agent of change for families and couples for 27 years. As a consultant, I provide options for clients to engage in moments and experiences that offer reflection and presence in areas that clients may feel alone, abandoned, lack of safety, and devalued. I provide a safe and open environment where each individual and couple can risk reaching within and/or with their significant other in identifying areas in need of healing and repair. Whether it is improving in school, work, or with significant other, it is an opportunity in participating in the possibilities.

I approach treatment as a collaboration between two partners, working together to deepen our understanding of your concerns, and construct alternative ways of thinking, being, relating and feeling. As a relational psychodynamic therapist, I consider our relationship an essential mechanism of change.

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

There is a reason why the safety protocols on airplanes instruct us to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first in case of an emergency. We can not care for others if we don’t focus on our own needs, even with the very limited time most of us have daily. Yet many of us get stuck on a hamster wheel and end up giving and giving until we simply have nothing left. This in conjunction with trauma can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. My goal is to disrupt that cycle by providing a safe space for my clients to work through their most vulnerable emotions and emerge ready to tackle life’s challenges.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging! Here's what I can tell you about my practice that will hopefully make your search a little easier. I provide the non-judgmental, trusting environment necessary to explore vulnerabilities & foster healing. I have had success working with clients of all ages (6-94) & from various backgrounds. I've had psychoanalytic training & am also well-versed in cognitive, relational, mindfulness & transpersonal methods. This knowledge allows me to use an eclectic style of treatment in which I combine techniques from different therapeutic modalities to help my clients.

Connect. Awaken. Embody. We are a warm and holistic approach to healing. We offer individual, couples, and family therapy. Individual therapy allows us to explore your unique story and heal the parts of you keeping you stuck. Couples therapy provides the opportunity for couples to identify their destructive patterns and abandon blame in order to return to or begin a more loving, caring and mutually supportive relationship. Family therapy provides the opportunity and space to heal from relational trauma and connect to yourself and your loved ones in a deeper, more meaningful way.

I treat individuals, couples, and families, spanning from childhood through adulthood. Therapy can be useful when we are experiencing life as painful, confusing or challenging, no matter the reason. Many live with feelings of sadness, loss, disorientation, isolation and diminished self-worth. Exploring those feelings and troubling symptoms in a safe environment with a caring, experienced professional, can serve to motivate us to identify patterns that stand in our way, be curious about and understand ourselves, all of which can lead to making meaningful and needed changes.

Buddhism teaches us that change is a fundamental truth of the healing process. Yet, change is so hard, and anxiety, depression and grief often accompany it. Fortunately, so does new growth. I love to support people navigating change and life transitions. I specialize in attachment and relationships and believe they are the foundation of our ability to heal. I support people through separation and divorce, perinatal and postpartum adjustment, parenting and co-parenting, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and racial identity development. As we heal our relationship with self, we show up more fully in relationship with others.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist, I have specialized training in working with couples, families, and individuals. I work closely with clients as they navigate relational changes, e.g., loss of intimacy, emotional distance, betrayal, family conflict, parenting concerns, separation, divorce, and blended-family issues. I encourage my clients to openly talk about their feelings while constructively working toward greater closeness and intimacy with their loved ones. I believe that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client(s) is the foundation for gratifying therapeutic growth and change.

I have 30 years of experience as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and provide a warm and safe environment for patients who want to change how they think and feel about their lives and their relationships. I work with young adults, adults, and couples. I am trained in Relational/Interpersonal Psychoanalysis, Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) (a short-term treatment for depression which focuses on relationships) and attachment-based EMDR for the treatment of Trauma. I believe in the ability of individuals to make changes in their lives and to transform themselves through insight, relationships, and through their own innate abilities

I help adults who are questioning their relationship with food, alcohol, or drugs and those facing infertility, pregnancy or post-partum challenges. As a queer therapist, I am experienced with and enjoy supporting fellow LGBTQIA+ community members. I work from a relational and trauma-informed perspective and incorporate tools from CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. Most importantly, though, I am guided by the person sitting in front of me. I will work to understand your unique therapy goals and partner with you on your journey.

Psychotherapy is a practice of deep listening and a process that provides the opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Therapy can help you feel connected, grounded and deeply understood; it facilitates the opportunity to work through current and older challenges, which are impacting you (and possibly your loved ones) in the present. My style is holistic, eclectic and relational. I provide a safe environment, listen deeply and engage genuinely with the individuals, couples and families I meet. I believe that we each possess the innate ability to transform our lives so we can flourish, create, connect, accept and thrive.

My style as a psychotherapist is supportive, empathic, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with relationship issues, overwhelming emotions, and challenging life circumstances and transitions. I aim to help people better understand their areas of struggle and how they can use their strengths to overcome challenges. My goal is to help the people I work with achieve meaningful change. I prioritize tailoring treatment to individual needs. We can either begin therapy with concrete problem solving techniques and skills, or with examining what is going on in your life and identifying areas to focus on.

You long for peace and clarity in your life but when navigating a major life transition those goals can appear out of reach. Divorce, illness, family and career changes can leave any one of us reeling, feeling beaten down, overwhelmed, confused and alone. A therapist can provide that safe non-judgmental space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be preventing you from moving forward. I work hard to tailor my approach to meet my client's needs always honoring the fact that this work is collaborative and each client is unique.

Intergenerational family dysfunction is not inevitable. I work with adults and children to untangle relational and behavioral patterns that are often foundational to the presenting problem. I take an integrative, strength-based approach and help the client identify perceptions and attributions that may be interfering with optimal self development and fulfilling relationships. This therapeutic approach is helpful in changing dysfunctional relational dynamics to those that promote growth and well-being.

Kathy specializes in grief and loss related not only to death but also loss of identity that is often associated with divorce, empty nest, retirement, declining health, and loss of independence. She is pursuing certification in Perinatal Mental Health, including pre- and postpartum mood disorders, infertility, and perinatal loss.

My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns in their lives and interpersonal relationships. I incorporate a blend of conventional and alternative approaches and determine which style of therapy will be most helpful for each client. With sensitivity and compassion, I work with clients to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

You may feel discouraged, overwhelmed, or exhausted right now. You may have challenges in your personal or professional relationships. You may be struggling to find a sense of purpose. Imagine what it would be like to have someone really listen to your story.
