2 therapists in New Jersey matching your needs

Welcome to my practice. I provide counseling for ADD, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and Post Traumatic Stress. I enjoy helping children, families and adults rebuild, mend and maintain the bridges broken by mental health challenges. As a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey, originally from New York, my brief intensive therapy immediately improves a sense of cohesiveness and decreases feelings of estrangement. A bulk of my experience arose from the families I served referred by state and local child care agencies. My years of experience and exposure to diverse populations has enable me to be knowledgeable on many topics and resources.

Hello! Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Board-certified Art Therapist in the states of Georgia and New Jersey. I have been in the counseling field for over ten years. I graduated with honors from Caldwell University in New Jersey, receiving a dual master's in Psychology Mental Health Counseling with an Art Therapy Specialization. I am passionate about using creativity to heal and empower others. I believe in the therapeutic process of one person helping another and the significant impact kindness can make. We all deserve a safe space to freely express ourselves in a judgmental world. I want to provide this space for you to grow and fulfill your destiny to be great. I take an integrative and holistic approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that individuals are complex beings influenced by their relationships, environments, and personal histories. By understanding these diverse dynamics, I can help you navigate challenges, foster personal growth, and help you develop healthier relationships. I have experience addressing a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, self-esteem, and life transitions. I have extensive experience navigating family challenges related to parenting, blended families, divorce, and conflict resolution. I have experience working in the Hospital Emergency room, Children’s Hospital, Residential substance abuse, Cognitive Traumatic Brian Injury and Disabilities, Mental Health Inpatient /Outpatient, Private practice, and Crisis Intervention In-home therapy. My specialty is working with children and adolescents from ages 4 through 16. As a therapist specializing in this age group, I empower children and emerging youth to explore their thoughts and feelings, by supporting them to navigate through challenges and develop new coping strategies. The therapeutic process not only provides a means of expression, but also helps children develop self-awareness, problem-solving skills, and emotional regulation. I tailor art therapy interventions to match each child's developmental level and provide them with age-appropriate tools to effectively express themselves. My goal is to help children develop resilience, self-confidence, and a greater understanding of themselves. “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” ― Maya Angelou.
