Maria Coyle, MA
LPC, 24 years of experience
About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) from New Jersey and have been practicing for 24 years. My specialty is working with children and adolescents but love working with adults as well. I believe that therapy is important and helps all people process their thoughts and emotions which is beneficial in living an authentic life. I challenge their negative thoughts and try to make my clients accept their feelings and make changes so they can overcome what it is they are working on in therapy.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In the first session, we will discuss why you sought out counseling and I will ask you what is the main priority that needs to be met from counseling. I will ask some questions to get some background information and we will move on from there.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a therapist I am honest and listen to what you feel you need to work on in therapy. I am empathetic to all issues my clients have in their life and I try to have a sense a humor and be genuine to them.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adolescents and young adults in their 20's. I feel that they are willing to really make changes and express themselves without hesitation.
