Therapists in Gibbsboro, NJ

Hi there! My name is James Castorina, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) centrally located in Cherry Hill, NJ. I am proud to be in a position to give back to the South Jersey community after all it has been able to offer me over the last three decades. I aim to use individual's strengths to help them achieve what they did think possible and bring out the best in them.

Taking the time to learn & care for yourself is a brave and rewarding journey. To cope, grow, and heal are intergyral parts of therapy. My goal as a therapist is to ultimately help you feel empowered and to live as authentically as you can. I work with clients ranging from teens to adults. I practice in the states of PA & NJ. I pride myself on being culturally informed and affirming to all. I treat a wide array of struggles including: childhood trauma, emotional trauma, workplace trauma, medical trauma, mood disorders, personality disorders, life transitions, identity struggles, anxiety, addictions, and self-esteem difficulties.

I am an active therapist. I design treatment plans and utilize strategies that are appropriate for both the issues and the personalities of my clients. I work with individuals in the context of their life and couples seeking to repair, improve or strengthen their relationship. My areas of specialty include intimacy, conflict, anger issues and the breadth of sexuality concerns.

My methods are deeply rooted in empathy, aided by a caring heart and an analytical mind, as well as an ability to build strong relationships and enlist clients' cooperation in facing life’s journeys. I use plain and even colorful language to create an atmosphere of safety, trust, honesty, openness, understanding, and growth. More than 7 of my years in practice have been dedicated to in-home therapy services. I have seen first-hand how much more at ease my clients are when completing sessions at home. I add to that comfort by bringing open-minded kindness, honesty, and respect to all households.

I firmly believe that life is easier lived when lived in relationship. In relationship, we can receive support, understanding, growth, and acceptance, making difficult life experiences much more bearable. We find and make relationships in so many domains; at home, with friends, in communities, and even with a therapist. That is why I think finding a therapist you feel safe with is so important.

Are you struggling with lifestyle changes or uneasiness with managing your daily routine? Are you tired of chasing perfection, thinking about if your relationship serves you to your core? Are you conflicted about choosing yourself or grappling with feeling unworthy? Do you have feelings of inadequacy regarding your parenting style? You are not alone. We all struggle with managing life's challenges. Sometimes what has worked for us in the past simply does not anymore. Let me help you examine your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help improve your self-worth and decision-making skills.

I enjoy working with individuals seeking to find their voice as well as work through their experiences. I believe it is important for me to create a safe, judgment-free space for people to share their story. People should be able to process anything that may be impacting them or their relationships such as life transitions or trauma. My ideal client is someone willing to show up for themselves, everyone deserves a space to be heard. I have worked in non-profit for a few years and have experience with most topics.

Children today are facing more challenges than ever. The demands of school, friendships, social media, and life changes can take a toll on mental health.

Children and teens might be feeling misunderstood; trust could be broken, and the family dynamic could be shaken up. Our goal is to improve your child’s emotional well-being by increasing their coping skills in all aspects of life while also providing support for you as the parent.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities were confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Feel Better Therapy began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Therapy is weird. I get it. You are sharing your secrets with a stranger. The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important aspect of therapy.

I treat my clients like I would want my family members to be treated, with respect, compassion, sincerity and honesty. I also believe therapy can be fun as well as constructive and valuable.
