I value authenticity, empathy, and self-awareness, both for myself and my clients, and as a critical part of the therapeutic process (I also take advantage of the healing power of laughter whenever possible!). I aim to normalize and validate my clients’ experiences without judgment, and above all, provide the most basic of human needs: to feel seen and heard. Hi! My name is Stephanie (Stephanie or Stevie is fine) and I have been providing therapy in NJ exclusively via telehealth for about the last 4 years (prior to that, in person). I have a deep passion and respect for the power of therapy to change lives, which I have been privileged to witness in my work with clients, as well as in my personal life, both through the consistent use of therapy as part of my own self-care, as well as having spent the last 20 years raising two children with special needs. If you have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, particularly if they are related to a traumatic experience, I would love the opportunity to work with you to reduce your symptoms and help you experience a present that is not overshadowed by situations and events from your past. I love working with women ages 20 to 30-something who are still in academia or just starting out in their careers, but also love working with women of any age. I frequently work with survivors of child sexual abuse, as well as those struggling with issues related to self-worth, but work with other conditions as well.

Hello! I am a Board-certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of New Jersey and New York. I help those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and adjustment disorders. Further, through my military service, I worked with service members experiencing PTSD and trauma. I also have experience abroad with expatriate communities, helping them overcome challenges related to moving and living abroad.

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey and Ohio. I hold a Master's of Social Work from Rutgers University. I am also in my final semester at a Doctor of Social Work Program at Rutgers University. I have been practicing for 8 years. My clinical experience has been working with individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, self-esteem issues, acculturation challenges, and relationship challenges.

I have been working in the helping field since 2015. I utilize person-centered and positive psychology models and have experience in DBT, CBT and trauma focused care. My experience includes working with children, adolescents and adults in various settings. I enjoy being part of the process of helping individuals make positive changes and exploring issues to have improved understanding and better ways of coping with life’s stressors.

Welcome! I'm so glad you are here. Let's take a moment and recognize that you've taken the first step towards improving your mental health, because we both know that therapy can feel daunting and hopeful at the same time. My name is Francina and I am here to help you on this journey. I provide a safe and inviting environment that enables clients to confront challenges related to anxiety, depression, self-care, trauma, and more. I am welcoming, non judgmental, accepting, and understanding. My focus is on assisting clients in developing self-awareness so they can be empowered to make choices in how they want to live their lives. Therapy can promote personal growth in any way you are seeking and assist in creating the life you truly deserve. I listen with compassion but I don't just sit there while you talk; rather it is a conversation. If that resonates with you, I'm here whenever you feel ready to open up.

For over a decade, I've immersed myself in the realm of mental health care, where I meet my clients in the place they are in their emotional/psychological struggles. I am passionate about making a lasting positive impact in each and every client's life. To that end, I obtained a bachelor's, a master’s and a doctorate degrees in psychology. My therapeutic approach is as diverse as the stories I encounter, tailored to resonate with each person’s unique journey.

I have experience working with individuals, couples and families on issues related to addiction, infidelity and trust, self esteem, depression, anxiety, life changes, divorce, identifying goals, grief and loss as well as caregiver stress and elder adult issues and transitions. I have also worked with clients that are struggling with their identity, motivation and setting goals. I have experience with exposure response therapy to assist those with OCD. I also use trauma informed care to work with those who have experienced traumatic events from abuse to loss. I believe in a person’s ability to develop and grow, in order to become authentic. I utilize different approaches to meet my clients’ needs and help them find success in therapy. I utilize Motivational Interviewing, CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Family Dynamics and Person Centered Therapy to create a plan that will best fit the individual client. My approach is warm and interactive, I believe in asking thoughtful questions that cause clients to think and look deeper. I also inquire about my clients’ beliefs and background to get a better picture of who they are and what shaped them. It also allows me to be sensitive and respectful of cultural needs and differences.

My name is Dese’Rae L. Stage (she/her), but you can call me Des. I’m a mom, therapist, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), suicidologist, artist, and advocate in Philadelphia, PA. I wear a lot of hats. I identify as a queer, white, cisgender single parent and live with depression, anxiety, ADHD, CPTSD, and chronic suicidal thoughts. It’s important to me to be transparent about my positionality, in terms of my identity and lived experiences, as well as being someone who receives mental health services—I know what it’s like to be in the therapy chair and sitting across from it. To that end, I come to my work as a partner and a support, rather than an expert. In past lives, I worked in the service industry and the music industry, and built a career as an award-winning suicide prevention advocate and artist. I live with two small humans, a Bernese Mountain Dog named Dolly Parton, and a long-haired white Siamese mix with heterochromia named Betty White. I see live music at every available opportunity (and sometimes I still drag my camera along), and when I’m not at a show, I’m probably reading a book, eating something delicious, or building Lego sets. I have a lot of stories. Feel free to ask me what happened when OJ Simpson came into the restaurant I worked at while I was in high school, or about that one time Lou Reed told me to f*ck off.

Welcome! My name is Ryan Rathman and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey. For the last 11 years I have been working with individuals who have experienced trauma in the early years of their lives. In this work I have helped individuals weaken the chains of trauma in order to help them begin to guide their lives back towards safety, joy, and fulfilment. As a trauma-informed therapist my primary goal is to help you feel safe again, and create a more efficient capacity to feel safe on a regular basis. While my work has primarily been with trauma survivors, often times this has also involved assisting with symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, mood swings, irritability, substance use, and many more. Regardless of the difficulties you are experiencing, our goal in working together is to empower you to have greater control over your life, guiding it towards the ideal future that you see for yourself. To speak more about myself personally, I received my Master's Degree in the great city of Pittsburgh! While there, I also became a husband and a cat-dad to my two rescue babies, Juni and Pep, who may or may not grace us with their presence during session. When I am not aiming to create more peace and joy on this earth through my clinical work, I often spend time doing various nerdy things like playing video games or tabletop games, binging sci-fi shows, or coming up with weird new dinner recipes. If you think that I might be a good fit as your therapist, schedule a session and let's dive in!

Hello! I changed careers midlife from administrative social services to direct care as a therapist. I graduated from University of Southern California in 2015 with my master of social work degree. I really missed having more interaction with people, and knew there was more to life than paperwork. We all go through difficult times, and I believe it's the support we have that makes all the difference how we come out of tough times. Therapy sessions are a private place to be vulnerable and release stressful thoughts and emotions. I have five years experience working at a mental health urgent care where I met with thousands of people who had pushed themselves to the brink of their strength and needed support. At this facility I treated PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, depression, psychosis. I interned as a student in the crisis area of a hospital emergency room, a really rewarding opportunity for me. I also interned at a shelter for women with addiction, domestic violence and substance abuse issues.

My personal experience has taught me that change can be stressful and uncomfortable and that there are some things in life that we do not have control over. My belief that people are resilient and can navigate through the hard times in life with support is what drew me to my area of focus. It has also deepened my passion for the counseling process. I have worked in several settings, such as hospitals, mental health agencies, and substance abuse clinics, which has helped shape my practice by enhancing my ability to understand my clients’ needs in regard to progress in treatment.

Hello! I'm Danica Gurdinak. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. I work with both children (12+) and adults. I graduated from Chestnut Hill College with a M.S. in Clinical & Counseling Psychology, as well as, a concentration in co-occurring disorders. Following this, I have been working in the field for five years. There is an old quote that says "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." This is a saying that I came to live by & is one that I hope to teach to my clients. Life is unfortunately not always sunshine & rainbows, but it is up to us to give ourselves the skills & tools we need to not suffer through it. Overall, I hope to gift my clients the support, guidance, & mindset to overcome and find their strengths. In DBT, the objective is to build a life worth living & that's the work I do with my clients.

I believe importance of a right view that comes from balanced mindset and emotion and it will help to empower, uplift clarity, and motivate success and happiness. My working style gives clients a safe space to find authentic expression about their life's struggles and build healthy solutions that produce positive perspective and empowerment. Personally I practice meditation and Buddhism doctrines.
