LPC, 13 years of experience
Hello! My name is Costenah, I am a LPC licensed to practice in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I am also an approved clinical supervisor (ACS). I have over 13 years of experience working with clients and graduated from Rosemont College, earning a Counseling Psychology Degree with focus on Professional Counseling. I have successfully treated clients with concerns such as anxiety/panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts/ self harm, bipolar disorder, gender and sexuality curious, and interpersonal conflicts.
During your initial sessions, we will work on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. You can expect a lot of open-ended questions about your life, your feelings, and your goals. This is a time for you to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with—there’s no pressure. I will explain how therapy works for your goals, discuss confidentiality, and outline what you can expect from the process. Early sessions are about building trust and creating a safe space where you feel heard and supported.
I blend various counseling techniques in session based on my clients current needs, and present them in a conversational way. Sessions feel fluid and will always encompass unconditional positive regard. I meet clients were they are at while also assisting them in taking the next supported step in achieving their goals towards mental well-being
You may look like you have it all together, but inside you feel anxious, uncertain, or stuck. Maybe you’re navigating a big life change, questioning your worth, or exhausted from always showing up strong for everyone else. I specialize in helping clients—especially Black and brown women—find clarity, rebuild confidence, and manage life stressors so they can move forward without losing themselves in the process.
I use CBT as an intervention to gain insight into the relationship between thoughts and feelings, and the ability to gain awareness of thoughts and reframe them into more healthy perspectives.
I use DBT with clients struggling with regulating their emotions. Interventions such as mindfulness exercises and Interpersonal Effectiveness skills will improve the ability for the client to manage difficult feelings and interact more positively with others in their life
I blend Pyschodynamic interventions with other counseling techniques for clients who are interested in uncovering the root cause(s) of their emotios I use this approach to glance at the past in an effort to gain insight and, at times, closure.

I've finally found the one! I've met with many therapists over the past few years. Costenah is very knowledgeable, solution oriented, and kind. I look forward to our next session.

Costenah really gets me. I walk away from each session feeling clearer in my thoughts. She’s given me so many tools to help me communicate with my husband, in a more productive way.
