I earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Counseling from Loyola University in Baltimore, Maryland. Additionally, I received a secondary Guidance Certification from Villanova University. I am a Nationally Board-Certified Counselor and have worked in a broad range of settings for over 28 years. I believe that the best clinical practice is an evidence-formed, eclectic model whereby the therapist adjusts to the needs of the client. I strive to provide clients with an opportunity to explore their inner selves, their relationships with others and their innate striving for wholeness, creativity, and well-being. Therapy can increase overall sense of well-being, build stronger coping and problem-solving skills, strengthen one's resiliency and determination, change behavior, and build stronger interpersonal relationships. The establishment of a trusting relationship between the client and therapist is of utmost importance to be able to work together to build a skill set to adapt and overcome life's most difficult challenges in order to create a fulfilling life. Regardless of a client's clinical needs, it is imperative to determine their support system and focus on the encouraging aspects of those relationships in helping the client become more resilient and set on a positive path in life.

Hi, I'm Keith. I'm a licensed therapist in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I believe that in life, we have two choices: to live like or unlike the person we want to be. Sometimes we find ourselves at a point in life where it doesn’t feel like how we want to be living. Maybe you feel overwhelmed by difficult emotions, anxiety, or depression. Perhaps you’ve got lots of negative, self-critical, or racing thoughts. It could be that there's aspects of your relationships that you're unhappy with. Life responsibilities like work or achool might be stressful or unfulfilling. Perhaps you're struggling with your identity or the heavy weight of what’s happening in the world and our country. Whatever the case may be, I'm here to help you find balance and work towards living a life that looks more like the one you want to have. Together, we will identify the issues you're facing, explore and treat them with compassion, and find ways to address them. I will use my warmth, empathy, unconditional positive regard, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help you live a life thats feels more worthwhile. I will support you to make positive choices, grow, and find ways to cope. I aim to affirm, support, empower, and advocate for queer people, trans people, women, people of color, and adults of all ages and abilities. If you are looking for a safe therapist to be yourself with, I'd love to work with you.

Hello there! My name's Matt, nice to meet you! I'd like to first give you a brief introduction to my background, which began in 2007 when I began working in the mental health field, supporting individuals dealing with severe illnesses in a number of group homes throughout Monmouth, Somerset, and Hunterdon Counties. This experience continued throughout my graduate studies, where I had the opportunity to apply my skills and knowledge in real-world settings through internships. After several years of working various short-term positions while raising my children, I returned to full-time clinical work at a community clinic in northcentral New Jersey. I remained there until and throughout most of the pandemic. In late 2022 to early 2023, I made the decision to part ways with the group and open my own private practice, the Zen Den Counseling Center. Currently, the center operates exclusively online, as I've found that the majority of my clients prefer teletherapy over in-person sessions. This shift allows me to better focus on providing the best possible care to my clients while staying updated on the latest developments in the field. I can also manage the number of clients I see, ensuring that each person I meet with receives my undivided attention and dedication.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), my practice is rooted in a compassionate, strength-based, and goal-focused approach. For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of working with many diverse populations while helping individuals, couples, and families navigate through many of life's challenges. My expertise lies in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. My journey as a therapist has been guided by a commitment to understanding each client's unique experiences and strengths. I believe in creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions. I empower my clients to overcome their challenges and achieve their personal goals by focusing on individual strengths. My goal-focused approach ensures that therapy is structured and purposeful, with clear objectives and measurable outcomes. Throughout my career, I have continually sought to expand my knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care. I integrate evidence-based practices and tailor my therapeutic interventions to meet each client's specific needs. Whether working with someone struggling with the complexities of ADHD, the overwhelming nature of anxiety, the grip of addiction, the deep wounds of trauma, or the heaviness of depression, my approach remains consistent: compassionate, client-centered, and dedicated to fostering resilience and healing.

When we experience loss, unwanted change, or trauma it can shake our foundations and lead to pain, confusion, and heartache. While we can't prevent life from happening or undo what we've been through, my practice is based on a deeply held belief in the ability for all of us to heal and resume living with meaning and purpose. Recognizing where you're feeling blocked, stuck, or hurt will inform where we focus our efforts. Granting ourselves full permission to feel and express the depth of our feelings is instrumental to healing and growth. My role is to bear witness to your experience while offering support and encouragement as you recognize and process your feelings. Through curiosity, presence, and attunement I seek to facilitate individual's getting back to living through effectively addressing, expelling, and moving past what has caused pain. Owning how we feel without asking for permission, learning how to internally validate ourselves, and developing self regulation strategies will help when we experience intense challenges. We can learn to change our narratives and work towards unconditional self love and acceptance. Please trust yourself and your wisdom when doing healing work.

I provide more than talk therapy & integrate a clinical approach grounded in research on neuroscience and psychology. I have 21-plus years of post-licensure experience and a demonstrated history of providing comprehensive clinical expertise in addition to supervising and training other therapists as a clinical supervisor. My educational and career development opportunities were significantly enriched through clinical supervision with a psychiatrist, which provided invaluable insights into diagnostic frameworks, and effective treatment interventions. Additionally, my work alongside multidisciplinary clinical treatment teams at various psychiatric hospitals has enhanced my understanding of holistic mental health care, and deepened my skills in managing complex cases, contributing to patient assessments, and coordinating effective interventions across diverse treatment settings.

My name is Shani Muhammad and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey. I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Health Studies from Monmouth University. I graduated in 2014 from Stockton University with a Master's in Social Work. I am the founder/therapist at Journey of Rose & Mary, LLC. I help young adults and women overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. You may notice that in some of my photos I’m wearing a hijab, and in others I’m not. That’s intentional. Both reflect real parts of who I am and how I move through the world. I share this so there’s no confusion, only openness, and an invitation to bring your full self into this space too. As a Muslim woman, my faith is an important part of who I am, it shapes the way I hold space for people, listen deeply, and honor every part of your story. Whether you're a woman or man balancing identity, burnout, or societal pressure or a first responder carrying the weight of others while pushing through your own. You are seen here. I also work with clients from immigrant communities, multicultural or interfaith families, and anyone living at the intersections of race, faith, gender, and responsibility. This space is faith-informed, culturally grounded, and made for all of who you are.
