Therapists in Mickleton, NJ

March openings availabIe! EMDR certified, women centered therapist who specializes in maternal mental health and post-traumatic stress disorder. I teach women to take care of themselves first so they can better care for others. Trained during my work at The Postpartum Stress Center, I treat women who struggle with trauma, postpartum adjustment, infertility, birth trauma, infant loss/miscarriage and adoption struggles. We strengthen the relationship to self, build a sense of emotional safety with others. We will shift the lens on the mommy myths, cultural expectations and perfectionistic standards which can cause overwhelm/shame.

I strive to provide a safe space to work through emotions and find effective ways to manage them. I help people process the ways that our past experiences and current reactions affect the decisions that we make in order to promote healthy change and understanding of ourselves and our patterns. Oftentimes, we are not aware of the underlying things that influence our gut reactions which can create a barrier to us meeting the goals we set for ourselves. Counseling is a way to help you understand yourself better and to break down those barriers that stop you from moving forward.

There are many reasons that we as humans will experience chaos within ourselves and our relationships. Perfectionism, trauma, ignored emotional wounds, and underlying mental health issues are just a few of these reasons. Most people will try to ignore these things, and that may work...for a time. One thing I have come to learn in working with people is that if we don’t address these issues, we can be sure that they will eventually address us, and that can be a painful experience.

I am a relationally oriented psychotherapist offering treatment to those living in NY, PA, and NJ seeking relief from emotional suffering. I practice from a contemporary psychodynamic orientation, paying careful attention to the ways in which our sociocultural experiences inform our psychological development. I regard symptoms as opportunities for growth when approached with curiosity, compassion, and respect. I am committed to building an energetic and collaborative therapeutic relationship that can help you better understand your motivations and needs, and experience a more authentic connection with yourself and others.

My name is Theresa Santucci, LCSW- owner and therapist at Aurora Sun Counseling, LLC. I am a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Masters of Social Work from Fordham University and Bachelors in Social work from Stockton University . I am a Gottman Method Level 3 Trained therapist and trained in Trauma Focused CBT. My go to method is Cognitive behavioral therapy but I will use an eclectic method depending on the needs of each Individual. I love working alongside individuals to figure out the barriers to living their best life and how to achieve their therapeutic goals.

I enjoy working with couples to help them communicate and rediscover a love that builds beyond barriers. I also enjoy helping families learn to relate to one another and tackle problems as a team. I strive to equip clients with tools to cultivate greater self-awareness and overcome whatever obstacles they face. My approach takes into account counseling techniques that are incredibly useful in multicultural communities, helping clients to break free from old patterns and navigate new meaning in their life and relationships.

If you're feeling stuck in the stressors and challenges of life and living out of alignment with your best self, seeing a therapist can help provide support and opportunity for change that you are looking for. I am available at this time to provide online therapy services to NJ residents. Throughout my work, I have had the honor to witness real change and healing through a variety of issues including grief, anxiety, depression, addictions, past traumas, relationship issues, and stress. I want you to know that help is available and you can start to learn to cope and experience life in a new way.

Our practice was built on the premise that therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We "click" or "don't click" with people we meet in our everyday life, and therapy is no different. We can assure you that our therapists will be genuine, provide you with empathic and professional care, create a safe environment, and will not treat issues or concerns they are not trained to treat. However, you are the only one who can decide if you truly like and trust your therapist. We have six awesome therapists to choose from but, if none of us work, we encourage you to keep looking and find your therapist!

Having a safe place of support and connection to unload burdens goes a long way. It is exhausting to explore more about yourself, others, and your world when you are not feeling heard unconditionally. I am here to walk with you in a judgement-free, yet honest journey toward emotional safety. I am here whether you face anxiety, hard relationships, stress, or family tension.

Hi and welcome! I aim to create a warm and supportive environment and meet clients where they are at. My goal is to empower my clients to be in charge of their own treatment. If you choose to work with me, I will aim to teach you life long skills. I will also support and motivate you as you work towards your goals! (I am licensed in both New York and New Jersey!)

You long for peace and clarity in your life but when navigating a major life transition those goals can appear out of reach. Divorce, illness, family and career changes can leave any one of us reeling, feeling beaten down, overwhelmed, confused and alone. A therapist can provide that safe non-judgmental space to explore thoughts, feelings and experiences that may be preventing you from moving forward. I work hard to tailor my approach to meet my client's needs always honoring the fact that this work is collaborative and each client is unique.

Psychotherapy is a practice of deep listening and a process that provides the opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Therapy can help you feel connected, grounded and deeply understood; it facilitates the opportunity to work through current and older challenges, which are impacting you (and possibly your loved ones) in the present. My style is holistic, eclectic and relational. I provide a safe environment, listen deeply and engage genuinely with the individuals, couples and families I meet. I believe that we each possess the innate ability to transform our lives so we can flourish, create, connect, accept and thrive.

Want to make changes but not sure where to start? I know it seems daunting to find a therapist, but you’ve already taken the first step. That’s the good news. The bad news? There are a lot of therapists out there and one of the most important factors linked to therapeutic success is the relationship you have with your therapist. (But no pressure, right?)

My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns in their lives and interpersonal relationships. I incorporate a blend of conventional and alternative approaches and determine which style of therapy will be most helpful for each client. With sensitivity and compassion, I work with clients to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

Connect. Awaken. Embody. We are a warm and holistic approach to healing. We offer individual, couples, and family therapy. Individual therapy allows us to explore your unique story and heal the parts of you keeping you stuck. Couples therapy provides the opportunity for couples to identify their destructive patterns and abandon blame in order to return to or begin a more loving, caring and mutually supportive relationship. Family therapy provides the opportunity and space to heal from relational trauma and connect to yourself and your loved ones in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

Buddhism teaches us that change is a fundamental truth of the healing process. I love to support people negotiating change and life transitions. Change is undoubtedly hard, and anxiety, depression and grief often accompany it. Fortunately, so does new growth. I specialize in attachment and relationships and believe they are the foundation of our ability to heal. I support people through separation and divorce, perinatal and postpartum adjustment, parenting and co-parenting, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma and racial identity development. As we heal our relationship with self, we show up more fully in relationship with others

Are you ready to change? Whether change involves improving your mood, developing more intimate connections, or healing from complex trauma, you deserve a space that prioritizes you and focuses on creating a life well lived. In working with a diverse clientele, I often hear clients say that they are overwhelmed, disconnected, depleted, and this hour is their only time to relax, reflect, and re-energize. Therefore, treatment is tailored to the unique needs of the client with a flexible, nonjudgmental, and compassionate approach.

**Immediate openings for Cigna and self-pay clients seeing Sylvie or Ambrial. Check website for profiles.** Life happens! And it sometimes happens hard and suddenly! With the many life transitions that we face, having a safe space and sounding board can be important to achieve healing! We seek to assist in the mental and emotional restoration and healing process of adults through counseling, psychoeducation, and wellness initiatives targeting the mental, social and spiritual paradigms of one's life. Education, empowerment, encouragement, enrichment and hope are aims that we seek to share with those who entrust us with their care.
