Teletherapy for Toms River, NJ

Are you ready to finally be free of your past? Does it seem like every time you try to move forward in life, your anxiety, depression, or PTSD hold you back? Perhaps you feel you can’t break away from unhealthy situations or relationships. Many of my clients are dealing with past abuse or other trauma, addiction issues, or fear and shame that overwhelm them. At some point, it becomes unbearable. I work with people who are determined to be free of symptoms and move forward. You may not be able to erase the past, but with the right support, willingness, and effective therapy, you can take control of your life again.

Throughout life, many of us will experience some sort of emotional issue. Some we can handle on our own, and others we may want to explore on a deeper level with a specialist. I look forward to working with those who are brave enough to face these issues head on, and to explore some of the underlying reasons why these issues have manifested. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, yoga therapy, bariatric evals, LGBTQ concerns, adjustment disorders, as well as testing and assessment (ADHD and PTSD Screenings, neuropsychological and psychological/personality testing with report).

Often, our experiences affect us more than we'd like to admit. I specialize in helping clients overcome trauma, anxiety, attachment and relationship issues, PTSD, substance use disorder, and ADHD. I am trained in EMDR, an evidence-based treatment used to process trauma and relieve symptoms of PTSD. I often incorporate IFS-informed practices that have supported clients in EMDR processing and accessing vital parts of themselves that would otherwise be neglected.

Accepting New Clients! Are you feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of life transitions, battling with postpartum depression, or grappling with anxiety that seems to cloud every moment? You're not alone. I'm here to offer you a safe space to explore your emotions, navigate through difficulties, and emerge stronger on the other side. As a licensed clinical social worker with a passion for empowering women, I specialize in helping individuals like you reclaim control over their mental well-being. With a warm and non-judgmental approach, I provide therapy tailored to your unique needs, whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions.

Clients who work with me are tired of experiencing life with anxiety and depression; they recognize that a change is necessary, and they're ready to engage. Their goals may include the need to experience joy, hope, love, respect and success. Often, they struggle building successful close and intimate relationships, communicating their needs, and/or or achieving academic and career success - in other words, life goals.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I know sometimes the journey to finding help may be bumpy. So give yourself some props for making it here. At times we all face struggles internal, external, and often a combination of both. I have observed that often we can feel stuck from these experiences, even if we’ve tried to move on from them. That is because we need a little guidance to process and buff out the imprint that remains in our system. It is my hope to help facilitate a path to finding more ease, feeling better, and move towards the life you want.

I have worked in the field of addictions for over 20 years. People suffering from addictions and their families may have other underlying mental health issues such as trauma, depression and anxiety. Throughout my career, I have worked tirelessly with adults, adolescents, and as well as their families to address these issues and find a path to healing. My philosophy is simple: to treat the person in the surrounding environment, to see a person in the context of family, school, job, and community (and to evaluate the impact of these relationships), and to focus on the person's strengths as well as embrace their difficulties.

I'm Zayna, originally from Arkansas and currently residing in New Jersey. I've served as an outpatient counselor for 9 years, specializing in trauma therapy. I earned my Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling from Southern Arkansas University. While I address a range of diagnoses, my true passion lies in trauma-focused treatment.

I customize my approach to each individual, recognizing that no two people are alike.

I am a therapist who believes strongly that talk therapy sometimes just isn't enough. Sometimes when a person experiences difficulties in life, their defenses can often get in the way. This is especially true when you are a child, have experienced trauma, or struggle with Eating Disorders. Sandplay therapy and other approaches can help break-down those barriers and promote healing.

I’m so glad you’re here. You’ve taken a huge step by deciding it’s time for change and looking for a professional to help you. There's a good chance you've been feeling stuck, stressed and burnt out, overwhelmed, or like you can’t navigate the ups and downs of life. Or you feel like you can’t get past certain things you have gone through. You may experience flashbacks, have difficulty in relationships, struggle to take good care of yourself, or have difficulty finding the compassion for yourself that your heart and soul needs. If any of this sounds like you, I believe I can assist you in your healing journey.
