Hi, my name is Electra Willis. I am a Licensed Social Worker and a Monmouth University graduate in supervision for my Clinical License. Like many, I am sure that you are experiencing the weight and gravity of how life has so drastically changed. When you find yourself living in crisis, the impact creates a lot of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety. Add social isolation, disrupted work and family routines, cabin fever, and economic instability, and, understandably, your mental health is suffering.

Our lives change. Some of these changes are welcomed while others can be overwhelming and create fear. When your life becomes difficult to manage, when there is regular conflict among family members, when anger and addictions become the preferred way of addressing concerns, when sadness has replaced optimism, it it time to seek the support of a counselor or family therapist . I am always honored to be invited into an individual's or family 's personal story, to listen, to support, to create solutions. My therapy, in addition to offering accepted treatment practices, offers each person the respect they deserve in a safe environment.

Techniques you may experiment with in our work could include mindfulness, witnessing, walking sessions, personal narrative, psychoeducation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and somatic therapy.
I want you to have the best life imaginable: to live in a body that can feel what it feels and with a mind that can know what it knows. I believe we heal through connection and relationship; it is how we survive then thrive. Sometimes we need to make meaning of our experiences; sometimes we just want to manage or reduce unwanted symptoms and sometimes we need someone to simply be present- to sit and witness and listen or hold the silence. I hope you will find all these elements working with me and together we will walk the path to healing. Come in and let's explore together!

Now more than ever seeking out therapeutic support can have tremendous benefits. Many people find that counselors can be an asset to processing thoughts and difficult emotions, setting goals for personal growth, navigating relationships including family transitions and marital issues, and the challenges of everyday life. I can provide a fresh, unbiased perspective on a situation or current stressors to help you achieve balance and increased motivation. There is power in opening up and challenging ourselves in ways that we don't often get the chance to do because of fear or misunderstanding. I am here to help!

These are very overwhelming times we are experiencing. Stress from family relationships, career, social circles, and other oppressive, traumatic life events can be overwhelming to deal with. But, despite these stressors, you are STILL HERE and you are STILL STRONG. It takes courage to ask for the help you need and to prioritize your own well being. You are making a good decision and you deserve a fulfilled life, in spite of past traumas and struggles.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
