Adults Therapists in Voorhees, NJ

I have experience in working with adults and adolescents with depression, anxiety and stress, and I have a passion for working with folks in the LGBTQIA2+ and kink communities. You will always have a safe and brave space in my room! I'm a secular therapist with acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential therapy background; but your therapy all depends on you. What works for someone else might not do it for you, so we'll walk together to personalize your journey to a healthier state of mind.

Currently accepting children, adolescents and adults for telehealth sessions on the weekend and weekday days.

Starting therapy, whether it’s for the first time or with someone new, can be difficult; sometimes the process of finding a therapist can be almost as daunting as the therapy itself! However, the right therapist IS out there and this journey will ultimately lead you to the person to give you the help you need! Most importantly, this therapist should have professional experience with your specific needs. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and young adults , as well as substance use, personality disorders, and anxiety/depression.

Many are perplexed by these unprecedented times. Sharing in the burdens of others to lighten their load is what I have to offer the world. As a licensed associate counselor, I am both ready and professionally equipped to lend an empathetic ear to those who are attempting to navigate life. As an African American man, I am sensitive to multicultural matters. In addition, I also possess a natural, multi-generational reach that enables me to connect with any age group on a wide range of topics.

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.

My clinical and professional background includes providing individual therapy and family therapy to children, adolescents, and adults , focusing on the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral needs of my clients.

My ideal client is motivated, open-minded, and committed to showing up and doing the work. I work to provide clients a supportive, safe, and warm environment where you feel comfortable talking about the challenges you are facing. I will work with you to identify your personal goals and strengths to help you achieve a more satisfied and fulfilled life that feels true and authentic to you! My clients ultimately want to overcome challenges and welcome change and feel secure being open and honest with themselves in our sessions together. I will be right there with you along the way. Please reach out if this sounds like you.

For me, a solid therapeutic relationship with my clients is a must, and a trusting and supportive environment is the essential mantra to good therapeutic work. I believe it is a great privilege when a client allows me into the realm of their vulnerabilities, and I have a responsibility to offer them the best quality care in the most conducive environment possible. I feel that my professional knowledge coupled with life experience gives me a deep ability to listen honestly, understand sincerely, empathize in a heartfelt way and offer genuine respect for the human condition...whatever it may be.

I work with motivated, insightful adults who want to better understand how their past has impacted them and what they can do about it now. I work with adults who feel stuck: who are anxious/ depressed, feel they're stuck in a loop in their relationships or who are trying to make sense of patterns in their lives and want to become a better version of themselves. Utilizing a goal-oriented, direct and interactive approach, I help clients look at patterns in their lives: the way they think, how they express themselves, their relationships and help them learn more about themselves.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing for the past 20 years. I received my MSS from Bryn Mawr College School of Social Work. My original practice focus was working with Seniors , grief and loss . However, I have broadened my client base in the past 5 years working with younger adults as well . I provide my clients with a safe and compassionate setting to support them through life transitions , grief , loss , anxiety , depression and traumatic events.

Maybe I'm your therapist...or maybe not. A successful journey in therapy depends on how well you fit with your therapist, whether it's comfort-level, personality, or their skill set/area of expertise. I will support you in making this a priority in this search, whether you choose me or someone else. I am also committed to providing a strengths-based approach, considering the many aspects of your life that impact you, and making sure that we collaborate in this process; after all, you are the expert on your life.

I have 23 years of training and experience working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and anger. I'm also very experienced with clients working on transitions such as going to college, new job, marriage, starting a family, a divorce, or coping with a past or recent trauma. I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.

My specialty is helping young adults and adults overcome feelings of depression and anxiety as well as increasing self esteem, but I also have experience working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, couples and population in the justice system that are struggling with addiction/substance abuse.

It is important to me to build trust and rapport with my clients. I will provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where we can explore your struggles and challenges. My goal as a counselor is to facilitate my clients healing and guide them through their life journeys. My treatment approaches are Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), and an Eclectic approach pulling from other theories. I believe each client is unique so I will work with you to create goals and provide you with techniques and tools customed to meet your specific needs.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to discover the factors in our lives that keep us from being fully alive and happy. People make decisions to enter therapy for various reasons; relationship problems, feeling sad or fearful, or simply the feeling that something is amiss in their lives. In my approach to the therapeutic process I provide a safe, positive environment in which to explore the present difficulty. Together we will pursue a variety of approaches ranging from gestalt, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic to hypnosis/guided imagery, depending upon what is best suited to your particular problem.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 12 years’ experience working in the psychiatric field. I have experience working with adults , children and families in a variety of outpatient and inpatient settings. Although I specialize in CBT and DBT, and other various modalities, it is a priority for me to continue to recognize that each client’s case and background is different from one another. Clients know themselves best and a collaborative approach may be beneficial to discover the best route to progress. A team-like approach is a priority in treatment.

Are you hoping to make meaningful changes in your life? Are you trying to manage difficult life events but feel that help is needed?. Would you like to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life? Perhaps you are dissatisfied with your life but you don't know the underlying causes. I am well trained in helping individuals to sort out their conflicts, patterns and behaviors that contribute to their issues. Therapy can provide a meaningful relationship where you can examine your life and goals, better understand current difficulties and emotions and with this insight change can happen.

The decision to seek professional therapy often comes at a time when one feels stuck with life patterns, feelings,or symptoms that are unrelenting and undermine the ability to lead a fulfilling hopeful life where one can live up to his or her potential. I believe that every person has the ability to develop self awareness and find their strengths and solutions with the help of an empathetic and active listener. In my practice,I work hard to create a trusting space where this can take place.

I specialize in counseling young adults through life's transitions and unexpected journeys. I am EMDR certified and integrate skill learning modalities. I provide counseling services for anxiety/OCD, grief , emerging personality disorder, reproduction trauma and loss (miscarriage, infertility), caregiver support, and recent diagnosis with terminal or chronic illnesses. While using evidence based methods for treatment, I also use Sand Play Therapy with individuals with a history of trauma, as well as EMDR therapy for individuals who tend to intellectualize or use other coping mechanisms that hinder their ability to resolve pain.
