Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist from New Jersey (LCSW).

I am also clinical supervisor, offering my experience to new clinicians when needed. I enjoy working with adolescents 14 years and older to adults of all ages, including seniors. My specialty is Borderline Personality Disorder; I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am passionate about helping individuals develop a "life worth living" as quoted by Marsha Linehan. I enjoy working with complex individuals who often experience difficulty with strong emotions, self-harm and relationship and identity problems. Highly Sensitive People are often misunderstood, resulting in emotional pain. I am also trained in Trauma Focused -CBT and other treatment modalities. I have been successful in helping individuals overcome phobias, panic attacks, social anxiety, trauma and self-injury. I have extensive experience treating various individuals struggling with general Anxiety/Depression, ADHD and various co-occurring/mood and personality disorders.

Perhaps you are struggling with serious mental health challenges or, you may simply want to learn how to improve your life, or maybe you feel stuck and aren't quite sure what you need or what you are feeling. Regardless, we can figure it out together. I offer a free phone consultation to help determine comfortability, goodness of fit and to answer any questions, etc. before booking. **Please note: I am licensed to practice in the state of New Jersey.

Something shifts when you finally name what you've been carrying. Maybe it's an identity you've been sitting with quietly, the pressure of parenting nobody prepared you for, a relationship that keeps feeling impossible, or simply a sense that you've been stuck in patterns you can't quite see your way out of. I'm Cameron, an LCSW working with adolescents, adults, and parents across New Jersey via telehealth. I offer affirming, identity-sensitive care for people from all walks of life, including LGBTQIA+ and transgender clients. Whatever brought you here, my first job is building trust strong enough to hold it. Much of my work draws on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: we examine the thoughts and patterns keeping you stuck, and find practical ways to shift them. Technique helps, but the relationship comes first. Sessions are collaborative and direct. For those navigating identity, grief, or trauma, I bring the same grounded, steady presence throughout.

I’m a millennial therapist who believes therapy can be meaningful and transformative without feeling overly intimidating. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are...whether you need to unpack something heavy, celebrate a win, laugh at the chaos of life, or admit that you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing right now. My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable and judgment-free while still helping you challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you. We can talk about boundaries, anxiety, relationships, people-pleasing, self-esteem, life transitions, or simply the overwhelming pressure of trying to have everything figured out.

Hi, I'm Assal. I've been a therapist for 13 years, helping young adults and adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and the stress that comes with balancing life's many demands. Many of my clients come to therapy during periods of change or uncertainty. They may be starting college, launching a career, navigating dating and relationships, working through unhealthy relationship patterns, adjusting to parenthood, caring for family members, or questioning what they want from the next chapter of life. Others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and are looking to regain a sense of confidence, direction, and purpose. My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what's really going on. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, while building on your strengths and helping you move toward the life you want.

Life can feel overwhelming when trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges take center stage. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as a whole person—not just a collection of symptoms. I work collaboratively with clients to help them make meaning of their experiences, reconnect with their values, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I specialize in trauma recovery and have extensive experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use concerns. I also work with couples and families, supporting healthier communication, deeper understanding, and more secure connections. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply seeking clarity and growth, I aim to meet you where you are with compassion and respect. My approach is rooted in humanistic and existential therapy, emphasizing personal agency, self-awareness, and the belief that change is possible—even in the midst of pain. I take an integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), grief work, and solution-focused interventions, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. Healing is not about “fixing” yourself—it’s about understanding yourself more deeply and learning new ways to relate to your experiences. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move forward with intention.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use dogs in my office while doing therapy. Please schedule telehealth or advise in advance if you are not comfortable in an office with animals. They do provide therapeutic support to clients and have been part of my practice for some time. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

Hi, I am Georgia and I am of Caribbean heritage. I initally began my career in technical problem-solving in the fields of Environmental Science and Engineering, but my deeper calling was always in helping people navigate their own challenges. While working as an engineer, I served my church community as a lay counselor and intercessor, which sparked a growing passion for more meaningful, people-centered work. That calling led me to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I serve as both a private practice clinician and a workplace mental health consultant and trainer. This work allows me to blend my analytical skills with a deep commitment to emotional wellbeing—and I truly feel I’ve found my purpose.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
