Currently accepting new clients and referrals. Late afternoon hours available. First and foremost, I appreciate you taking the time to read my profile and consider me to be a support system in your journey. Browsing through a plethora of therapists and finding the right fit where you are going to feel safe and secure to be yourself can be a little bit daunting and stressful. If you're finding yourself adjusting and navigating through life changes, environments and/or people, I’d encourage you to find a comfortable and warm space where growth and transformation can happen organically. Let's get on the road to recovery, where I can guide you through your mental health journey and find ways for you to manage barriers and challenges life throws at you. Greetings! My name is Xavier Vega and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, a National Certified Counselor, a Certified Play Therapist, and Bilingual in (English/Spanish); I offer psychotherapy and counseling services to clients. This includes all ages between 4 years old to adults. Se habla Español. Si desea una consulta por favor comuníquese para establecer comunicación. Gracias.

I am a psychologist with 18 years of clinical experience, and I provide psychotherapy to children, teens, and adults. I also provide family therapy to help with parenting issues and conflict within the family. I work with people who are struggling with the effects of trauma and stressful events, depression, anxiety, and behavior problems, including sexual behavior problems. I also help people with impulse control difficulties, obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviors, and eating problems.

Meaningful change can take place once we are able to acknowledge that change is needed. In my profession as a therapist, my goal is to help others achieve change, growth, and improved mental health in their lives. It was during my own therapeutic experience many years ago where I learned the value of the journey to change and mental wellness. I would later decide to become an agent of change for others when I obtained my master’s in social work. My passion is working with women to help them effectively manage their mental health. As a woman I understand the challenges with having several roles and the expectation of being perfect in each role. I assist my clients by empowering them to take their own journey of self-discovery that leads to learning, growing, and thriving. My approach to the therapeutic process is person centered and focused as I believe clients are the experts of their own lives. My goal is to offer the support needed to facilitate the change and growth my clients seek.

Hello and Welcome! Let's face it: sex and intimacy can be a bit complicated, no matter how old you are or how long you've been sexually active. Things come up, our bodies change, and sexual desires evolve. This can sometimes cause confusion and disruption in our lives. No one should feel they are navigating this alone. Allow me to create a safe space for you to become a master at communicating your needs, feel more comfortable in your body, and experience safe and pleasurable intimate encounters. As a licensed clinical social worker, I embrace and value the uniqueness of each individual as they enter a process of self-discovery and healing. I believe every individual is unique, and therapy should be tailored to meet the needs of the individual, family and/or couple.

Are you feeling stuck, unworthy, unmotivated or hopeless? You have goals and you try to move forward, because you know you have a lot to offer, but something always seems to get in the way of your career and your relationships. You feel like you are never enough, like you don’t belong. You wonder how things would be different if you were white, straight, able-bodied or cis-gendered. Every piece of self-help advice you read must be filtered through the lens of being marginalized and having less privilege. You wish someone could understand you. You know logically how you “should” feel and you try to cope, but you find that you just can’t change by willpower alone. It is not that you lack the willpower at all, it is something else. How you talk to yourself matters. A few logistical things to mention. I'm not currently taking new clients, but will open up at some point in June. Please remain in communication with scheduling. If you book yourself, be aware that I may need to change the appointment to find a time if I'm not free. (Grow calender isn't always up to date with my other calenders.) Please complete any intake paperwork prior to your appointment.

Hello there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, holding licenses in both New Jersey and Georgia with 8 years of experience in the field of social work. My academic journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rutgers University, which paved the way for me to pursue a Master of Social Work degree at Fordham University. I specialize in working with individuals from ages 12 onwards, and through therapeutic collaboration I support the process of untangling the complex web of emotions that can be deeply interwoven with past traumas, current stressors, negative self-perception, and feelings of unworthiness.

I have various experiences as a clinician working with people with serious mental illness(SMI) to Co-occurring disorders. I also have experience with people with mood disorders and personality disorders. My clinical and research interests are 1) how culture plays a role in one’s life, 2) how to reconstruct relationships through reconstructing one’s unresolved trauma, and 3) strengthening one’s resilience to cope with life difficulties.

Greetings all! My name is Angel. Do you feel overwhelmed with the day-to-day and unsure of what you need to be happy? Are you living in the moment? Or are you living to get it done for your family, significant other and those emotionally interwined with you? I empower high-functioning individuals caught up with nurturing and caregiving to reconnect with themselves and create intentional self-care plans. Together we can process what you need to create boundaries while prioritizing responsibilities that belong to you while respectfully releasing those that don't. We'll establish psychological safety, reassuring our time and space together is trustworthy and secure. The Strengths-Based perspective will be used to highlight the abilities within you because life has a way of disconnecting our awareness of how great we already are.

Whether your overwhelm comes from depression, trauma or anxiety-inducing life experiences I am here to help. We all come from various life experiences, so respect for safe spaces is imperative for our journey to be successful. If therapy is new to you, WELCOME. If you are not new to therapy, WELCOME BACK. Therapy is a fluid engagement we all need as we grow! And let’s acknowledge good for you to be in tune with yourself to know there’s a need for change. The core to processing is comfort, so know that there will be respect, no judgment and a goal to continuously secure our sacred journey.

I have lived a long and colorful life. Like everyone else, I've made good and bad choices and learned from each. I have 22+ years experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field. I DO NOT JUDGE, AT ALL, PERIOD. I can be both blunt and gentle as appropriate. My role is to offer another perspective, a way to see life more fully and function better, no more, no less. I don't pretend to have all the answers but only one slice of wisdom. I just share what can help someone. Some people are not yet ready to be helped. Yet for those who are feeling lost on life's journey and are willing to listen and learn, I'm here to assist. My life work can be summed up in three words, "offering people hope. " "How very lucky are we, for just a moment to be, part of life's eternal rhyme." Charlotte's Web, movie "Not all who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien

Welcome! My name is Tameka and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Georgia. I have 17+ years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient, residential, partial care, outpatient, and in-home. It is my belief that you have everything you need within you to live your best life and be your best self, however, unhealed wounds can slow that timeline of seeing that manifest. It is my goal to guide, educate, support, and empower my clients on their way to healing. I find great joy when my clients have that light bulb moment when they realize they in fact can be the captain of their healing/journey. I also understand that not everyone is of the mindset that they need healing and may require someone to help them build their personal road map of goals, I can also assist with that and would say I would serve in more of a coaching role for you. Lastly, picking the right therapist can be scary, I would like to share that I find the therapeutic alliance as a collaboration of communication, honesty, and mutual respect. If you feel I am a good fit for you, I would love to walk alongside you as you explore your inner challenges and develop long-term solutions to those challenges.

If you want a different kind of experience with someone who is open-minded, accepting, warm, curious, and insightful, I can help. We all have a story that's influenced by everything that has happened in our lives, and we are each in charge of the way that story unfolds. I love to use stories, myths, and visual analogies in my work. Let's work on yours together! I have served clients for 13 years and have significant experience with groups, families, adults, adolescents, and children. I am a licensed professional counselor, a national certified counselor, and a certified professional counselor supervisor. I provide pre-licensed masters level counselors with clinical supervision as well. My philosophy of counseling is inspired by the work of Carl Jung who incorporated concepts of archetypes into his theories and I am interested in discovering how we can apply these ideas to our daily lives using a depth psychology perspective. We are all here for a reason and can change the world from within. I'd be honored to help you on your journey.
