Teletherapy for New Jersey

Despite having reached the pinnacle of my profession after nearly two decades of practice, it was my own struggle with learning disabilities, dual diagnosis and other medical conditions and issues, that changed my perspective and my life. I came to appreciate an approach which focuses on the here and now; solution focused and goal oriented. I found little solace in traditional therapeutic approaches which focused largely on the past, and went on for months with no real relief nor positive impact on my life or functioning. As such, I strive to help my clients achieve their goals and actualize their dreams using a coaching approach.

With over fifteen years of experience, I've helped guide many people towards greater happiness and empowerment. And a "Healthgrades Patient Favorite", I'm ready and excited to help you on your healing journey. My approach is caring, holistic, knowledgeable, motivational, and direct. Let's find out what's underneath your issues to get you back to wholeness. I see clients who are 21 and older and love to do Couples /Family Counseling. Please check out my reviews on Healthgrades to see if I'd be a good fit for you. https://www.healthgrades.com/providers/alison-maxfield-58boz
