Hi. My name is Christine Toler, Chris, and I earned my Ed.S and LPC- MHSP in the state of Tennessee, New Jersey and Delaware. I have been licensed as a Professional Counselor since 2010, and a School Counselor since 2006. I started being a believer in therapy when it first helped me over forty years ago, (as a child). I thought what a wonderful way to get to the root of the problem... and get rid of it. Since then, I have been working on myself as a client as well as acquiring a licensure to help others, including teens, adults and families. I focus on solution based and non-judgmental cognitive therapy. I believe understanding a problem is not the end of the work. (unfortunately) The action we take to support a positive change... is what changes lives. And while I have experienced that in some very important areas... I continue to grow... daily. I choose to be transparent about that because I believe it is important to the work that my clients know I understand how it feels to be in their chair. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, doubt, guilt, grief, or all of the above, I believe I can help 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.

I value authenticity, empathy, and self-awareness, both for myself, 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. My name is Stephanie (or Stevie, either is fine) and I have been providing therapy in NJ exclusively via telehealth for about the last 5 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 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.

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.

My name is Cierra, and I am an LCSW with over 10 years of experience working with individuals who have experienced anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Often times, you may fear being vulnerable. We are taught that if you are vulnerable, it is a sign of weakness, and you will end up hurt. But what if I told you sometimes vulnerability is needed to heal! Through vulnerability, a person can take back the power that was once taken from them. It allows a safe and open space for one to express their thoughts, emotions and feelings and current life stressors in a nonjudgmental space that will help build resiliency and courage. I live to empower women of color to get through the struggles of different symptoms that may be hindering the progression of finding self-love and developing a better understanding of their selves. Solution- focused brief therapy allows you to pick apart the things in life you are currently experiencing that continues to hinder and stop you from progressing in a direction that will help you find peace. Engaging in a therapeutic relationship also allows you to learn how to love and value your self worth to help you maintain healthy boundaries and relationships with others while on your journey to healing. My goal is to help individuals overcome adversity and life situations. I help individuals work through current life situations to break down the very things that are causing symptoms that stop advancement. I believe that through the methods of motivational interviewing, solution- focused brief therapy and mindfulness, I will be able to help you achieve your goals and be the best person you can be for yourself by not staying stuck in the past. If you are looking to start your journey, you have found the right place!

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.

"True success is the predictable result of hard work, patience, sacrifice & learning put into practice everyday." - Unknown Hey there! Thank you for sliding on past my profile and the above quote is essential to not only my mindset in how I approach everyday as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) but also how I want to assist in creating a space for my clients. I am currently based in Pennsylvania & have over 10 years of experience working with an array of clients. I have helped many from young adults to older adults take a deep dive within themselves to challenge thoughts, perspectives and beliefs that create a mental and emotional limitation on becoming a more empowered and improved version of themselves. My goal is to respectfully challenge and guide clientele to look within themselves since they are the best expert on their own life and choices so that they can discover the innate skills and abilities that can take them to higher heights within their situations and lives.
