Nicole Rosoline-Peterson
I am a family and marriage therapist licensed in New Jersey with over 8 years of experience working as a mental health counselor. I have my Masters in Counseling from William Paterson University. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns and diagnosis including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parent coaching, career challenges, life changes, ODD, autism, and ADHD. I have also worked in crisis counseling. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and client-centered therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My goal is to help you be your best self. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My main focus is on supporting each individual client in the best way for them which is what I love about the person-centered approach. This approach allows the therapist and client to be a team and allows the client to be in charge of the therapy course. This type of practice steers away from the idea that human beings are flawed and require treatment for their problematic behaviors. Instead, it empowers clients and provides them with the tools and resources they need to understand themselves and achieve psychological growth. Person-centered therapy is a type of non-directive therapy that is empathetically driven toward providing a person with a safe space to talk, self-actualize (realize their full potential), and make positive changes in their life. I want to ensure each of my clients feels they are getting what they need from sessions so while I sometimes use CBT or DBT techniques. I follow the client's lead to help them get they feel they need.
