People often come to a therapist because they want to talk about being anxious, being lonely, feeling depressed, having difficulty in relationships, feeling stressed and burned out, or having a hard time taking care of themselves and others. I aim to help people to reduce symptoms (e.g., anxiety) and, more generally, to engage in personal growth and to foster a more connected, meaningful life. I will work with you to help you cope more effectively; in doing so, I focus on your strengths and potential.
Diane H Friedman
EdD, LDT-C, COACH
Is your child underperforming academically? Have you become your child's enemy fighting over school work? Are you overwhelmed with daily tasks? Do you promise yourself to get things done but never seem to accomplish them? Labels such as lazy, unmotivated, procrastinator, disorganized, not working up to potential are often used but do not address the underlying issues. Research has shown that a trained ADHD coach can help. For the past 21 years, I have built a reputation in the Princeton/Mercer County area for helping students and adults to overcome the daily obstacles that come with ADHD.

Whether the client in front of me is one person or a couple, I look forward to the opportunity to help people feel heard and validated. Helping people identify and express their needs is a favorite part of the therapeutic process. From there, people can begin to identify and set the boundaries they need, leading them to feel empowered within their relationships. My wish is to give clients the opportunity to identify and communicate their needs, set boundaries, and live the life they'd prefer without others' expectations or limitations.

Kaylee Rose Friedman
Counselor, MA, LAC
Verified
Being human is hard. In a world that conditions us to live an unconscious life, self-reflection and building our intuition is an act of rebellion. We all struggle to find meaning, balance, and peace within the chaos of living. Life inherently involves suffering, and sometimes navigating those big life transitions, traumas, or general feelings of anxiousness or lack of interest in life can get overwhelming. The choice to ask for support when we’re struggling is a radical act of self-care, bravery, and accountability.

My approach begins with the belief that individuals are resilient and may benefit from utilizing their own strengths to increase their resilience. Individuals often ask, “How do I build on my personal strengths?” My philosophy is that it is about identifying several factors; What you are passionate about? What motivates you? What interests allow you to be excited about today and look forward to tomorrow? Identification of these variables assist in attaining lifestyle balance, developing healthy coping skills, recognizing your priorities and problem solving.
Jennifer Waldron
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
From an early age, we all learn ways to cope with stress, change, and new relationships. Sometimes, familiar coping strategies, which may have served you well in the past, are no longer effective as life inevitably changes. You may feel "stuck" in these moments and at a loss for how to move forward. I work to provide a safe therapy space to explore feelings of sadness, worry, and uncertainty. Together, we can develop new coping strategies and create a plan for positive change that feels meaningful to you.
