Greetings! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have been proudly serving the culturally diverse community of New Jersey for the past decade. Throughout my professional journey, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges each individual may face. My mission is to ensure that the care I provide is of the highest quality and tailored to meet your specific needs. I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing space where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgment.
During our initial session, we'll begin with brief introductions and then delve into the specific challenges you're experiencing. This will enable me to craft a personalized plan for us to address in subsequent sessions.
As a provider, my greatest strengths include empathy, adaptability, strong communication, commitment to growth, and the ability to build strong therapeutic relationships. My approach is client-centered and integrative, tailored to each individual's unique needs. I stay informed about the latest research and best practices to provide high-quality care.
Specializing in women's support, I leverage my expertise to address a broad spectrum of issues, such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, effective anger management strategies, and much more.

I just had my first session with Shmyla. I got so much off my chest, and she was very warm, compassionate, and validating. I’m looking forward to our next session!

Shmyla This is the my first experience with therapy and I was very apprehensive. Shmyla makes you feel like you are just talking to a friend/confidant, but of course she’s so much more! I would recommend her style whether it’s your first time or not she’s very empowering!! Thank you for your guidance through my journey.
