Therapists that accept Cash Pay in New Jersey

Welcome to Creative Healing! I'm owner and group therapist Jen Mele LCSW EYT-200. You've taken the next steps to get support which means you're already taking care of yourself. We help Adults, Young Adults, Teens and Families with depression, anxiety, adhd, intense moods, impulsivity, self criticism, trauma and more. Our practice is holistic, honoring the mind-body connection and the ability for you to heal & take control over your life. We are deeply passionate about supporting people in finding healing and resilience through a compassionate, personalized approach. My specific journey to becoming a therapist was inspired by a desire to help others navigate emotional pain, trauma, and the complexities of life with kindness and empowerment. We specialize in modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) because I've see seen how powerful these approaches can be in helping people build emotional regulation, develop self-compassion, and understand their internal experiences in a way that promotes true healing. IFS, in particular, offers a gentle framework for exploring the many “parts” of ourselves, fostering curiosity rather than judgment, and allowing transformation from within. In addition, we incorporate mindfulness and somatic practices because healing is not only mental but also physical and present-moment based. Mindfulness teaches us to slow down and connect to the here and now, reducing anxiety and increasing emotional balance. Somatic work helps reconnect with the body, where much of our emotional experience lives, creating a sense of safety and integration. Creative healing exercises, inspired by the work of Jen Mele and others bring an added layer of depth and flexibility to therapy. These expressive techniques — including painting collaging, writing, art, guided imagery, movement, music, poetry and more— provide alternative ways to access and process emotions, especially when words alone aren’t enough

Life transitions, relationships in flux, maybe you haven't felt like yourself recently. Navigating hard emotions that keep you up a night, or preoccupy thinking, might be holding you back from enjoying activities and relationships you once did. Reasons for seeking therapy are unique and individual to you. You are deserving of a therapist who will build a space for you to be vulnerable with your story and emotions. Together, we can build a path forward through empathetic processing, acceptance, skill building, and goal planning. Therapy is like a compass, it doesn't provide all the answers, but it provides direction. Focusing on your strengths, presenting problem, and future goals, our time together will be spent targeting false thoughts, realizing potential, and building trust in yourself.

Welcome and thanks for stopping in. My name is Kristy, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and my pronouns are she/her/hers. My ancestry is both Native American and northern European. I have been working with young people since 2013 and I have seen how overwhelming life can feel these days. There are so many pressures in school, at home, with your peers and in society at large! Have you been feeling stressed, anxious, and/or worried about your future? Perhaps you feel consumed with thoughts about how you compare to others and what others think of you? Is your mind full of racing thoughts about how you just might not be good enough? Or perhaps there is a relentless inner critic that won't let you off the hook? I know how this feels because I have been there myself and I can tell you it does not have to be this way. You can learn to develop a different kind of relationship with yourself: One in which you can learn how the mind works & how to navigate its unhelpful & painful patterns more effectively; one in which you can discover how to approach yourself with kindness & support--the way you would a good friend in pain; one in which you uncover your strengths, gifts & values and allow this self-knowledge to help you make decisions in your life of which you feel proud. PARENTS: Are you in a place where you are ready to dive deeper into your own unconscious patterns that are affecting the way you parent? Do you ever think that you do not want to do some of the same ineffective things with your children that your parents did with you, but find it hard to stop? I am here for you too.

We all need space to prioritize our thoughts and feelings, to say what we need to say out loud, to someone who will not judge us for how we think and feel. Oftentimes, we cannot expect the people in our lives to be impartial or unbiased. Sometimes the people in our lives are far too involved in what causes us to need this space, to process our trauma, and they might not realize why we are anxious or depressed. In the therapeutic relationship, it is all about what you want and need. I will listen and ask thoughtful questions and help you recognize patterns and make connections. Life is a journey and I want you to welcome self-exploration, not fear it.
