I love to integrate measurable goals so that you build upon small goals that create change!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals, teens, and families navigate stress, emotional overwhelm, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of the clients I serve are high-functioning, busy, and responsible for everyone else—but silently struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or a sense of losing themselves. My goal is to create a safe, warm, and judgment-free space where you can finally exhale, talk openly about your experiences, and gain the emotional tools needed to create meaningful change in your life. I meet clients with compassion, understanding, and practical strategies they can use right away. I believe that healing happens through connection, clarity, and consistent support. I am here to walk beside you as you rediscover your peace, your voice, and your strength.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting others for 26 years, which has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges and stressors people of all ages face. I have expereince working with people living with addictions, teenagers, couples, and anxiety. Through this experience, I’ve developed a strong ability to offer meaningful assistance. I use a relational approach combined with Cognitive-Behavioral techniques to help individuals find relief and foster personal growth.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating life’s challenges. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I have several years of experience working with children and parents, manage behavioral or emotional concerns, and build healthy coping skills. In addition to my therapy work, I also serve as a case manager in a long-term acute care hospital, where I support adults and older adults facing complex medical and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, practical, and strengths-based. I strive to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping strategies, and feel more confident navigating everyday life.

I am an experience therapist who can support you in making positive changes in your life. My areas of specialty include personality and mood disorders, addiction, and grief, but I have work with clients on a wide range of issues over the years.

Hello. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living in New Jersey . I received my Masters from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Work. I have over 20 years of clinical experience. My practice is centered on working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, burnout and depression. We work together as a team to create a plan that best work for you.

I’m a Licensed Therapist with four years of therapeutic/counseling experience working with teens, young adults, adults, and clinical professionals. I help clients manage challenges like personality disorders, trauma, PTSD, work-related stress, and relationship difficulties. I’m so glad you’re here! This space is created with love and intention—to provide mental health resources, education, positivity, and spiritual encouragement. My mission is to bring light, joy, and support to those navigating their journey toward healing and growth. I am honored to serve the community and walk alongside you on this path. Stay connected for inspiration, guidance, and tools to help you thrive. You are not alone, and your journey is worth embracing.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor providing virtual therapy for adults and couples who are ready to move beyond feeling stuck and begin creating meaningful, lasting change. Many of the clients I work with appear to be managing on the outside, while internally navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship strain, or difficulty expressing their needs. If you find yourself overthinking, reacting instead of responding, or repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. My approach is structured, intentional, and insight-oriented. I focus on helping you strengthen your emotional intelligence—how you understand, manage, and communicate your emotions—because this is the foundation for healthier relationships, clearer decision-making, and improved overall well-being. Together, we will identify patterns, explore the root of your challenges, and develop practical tools that help you respond with clarity and confidence rather than impulse or avoidance. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and emotional fatigue, as well as couples working through communication breakdowns, trust concerns, and disconnection. Therapy with me is an active process. It requires honesty, consistency, and a willingness to do the work, but it also creates the opportunity for real, sustainable growth. If you’re ready to invest in yourself, better understand how you operate emotionally, and begin showing up differently in your life and relationships, this is a space where that work can begin.

If you've tried therapy and still feel stuck, the approach may be the problem. Most people who find me have already done "the work" — and it wasn't enough. That's not a failure. It usually means they needed a more targeted method from the start. If you know your thoughts aren't rational but can't stop them, feel trapped by routines you can't break, or have been avoiding more and more of your life to manage anxiety — that's exactly what I treat. I specialize in OCD, anxiety disorders, and compulsive behaviors using ERP, CBT, and Habit Reversal Training — structured, evidence-based protocols with strong track records for the patterns that feel impossible to break on your own. Every session is practical. You leave with tools you can use immediately. I work with adults dealing with OCD, intrusive thoughts, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, health anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors (skin picking, hair pulling), hoarding disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. I'm warm and direct. I'll be honest about what treatment involves, what progress actually looks like, and whether I'm the right fit — and if I'm not, I'll point you somewhere better. The people who do well with me are done managing symptoms and ready to change them. If that's where you are, reach out.

Hello I often hear clients say, “I don’t even know where to start” when they first begin therapy. I understand that feeling. The first step is to make sense of what’s happened in your life in order to start to tackle the issues and ultimately make some changes. I am a seasoned therapist with 17 years experience helping adult clients find their own inner wisdom and strength to resolve issues in their lives. It feels burdensome to rely on friends and family to help us through difficult life challenges. The greatest joy for me as a therapist is to be able to provide a safe space where clients feel unconditionally accepted and heard without judgement. Therapy is a collaborative process where the client and therapist work together to explore and identify barriers which prevent resolution. I believe that the therapeutic alliance between client and provider is key to a successful outcome. I use psychodynamic, solution focused and client centered approaches to help clients gain insight, identify barriers and foster empowerment to make changes and resolve issues.

Hi! I am a caring, warm and friendly person who strives to put clients at ease when coming to sessions, especially when so many other difficulties may be going on for you! My goal is to give you the space to process things that are coming up and find the best next step to reach your goals, no matter what that might be! I'm ready to find realistic and attainable solutions, and go back to the drawing board to help you find the things that will actually work for you!

Professional -> I am a clinical social worker with 20 years of mixed elementary, middle school, and high school Child Study Team experience which includes work with kids/tweens/teens with learning disabilities and/or emotional (predominately anxiety, anger, self-esteem)-social (mild autism spectrum disorder)-behavioral (covers a wide range!) needs, parent support/training. I do work with adults as well, but find the vast majority of my clients are kids/teens. Personal -> I am a married mom of two, and we are a dog family (dogs for the win! - although we also have a hamster, a lizard, and two degus). I love a traditional board or card game (Uno, Connect 4, Scrabble, Othello are my top!) and I always find a way to use humor - - Dad jokes get me rolling. I speak French, too. If you think you want to meet, but don't see a time that works send me a message and we will work something out.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has dedicated my professional life to the advancement of the human species. What do I mean by the advancement of the human species? Well, no one ever taught us how to be mindful of thought patterns; to be aware of our own scars and biases, no one gave us an instruction book when it comes to dealing with our emotional life and the emotional lives of others. Scary, those big feelings can be. Unless, you have a plan. That is where therapy comes in. We work together to develop plans to assure you accomplish the goals you set for yourself.

I am licensed marriage and family therapist and credentialed alcoholism and substance abuse counselor. My approach is a cognitive-behavioral strength-based approach. I focus on helping people invalidate negative thoughts and become aware of their strengths. I do so in order to help them improve their confidence so that they can overcome challenges that they previously believed were impossible to triumph over. I also help people improve their boundaries to assist them with preventing others from negatively impacting their confidence and interfering with the development of their goals. With couples and families, I use an emotionally-focused approach that helps people become more comfortable with being vulnerable with people that are important to them. Becoming vulnerable helps people focus on discussing how they are impacted by others and what they need from them instead of blaming and criticism. Taking such a stance increases the chance that listeners will remain attentive instead of becoming defensive.

My name is Dr. Sharon Green, and I have worked in behavioral health for over 15 years. I have worked with diverse populations in multiple settings and served children, adolescents, young adults and older adults. Therapeutic services are delivered professionally and based on ethical principles.

My name is Michelle and I have been a psychotherapist for the last 17 years.

I take an active role in sessions with my clients to help them find clarity and direction in whatever issues or symptoms they might be struggling with.

Hello! My name is Dr. Jennifer Jordan. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my PhD in Counseling Psychology from National University and Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I have worked with individuals, couples and families seeking counseling for 20 years, both online and in a variety of settings. I help clients learn new skills to successfully navigate the challenges of life, deepen their understanding of themselves, enhance their relationships, and improve their mental health and emotional well-being.

As a neurodivergent Black woman living with a chronic illness and mother of three adult children, two of whom identify with the LGBTQ+ commmunity, I am always interested in the deeper question people carry about their lives. Many of the individuals I work with are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years showing up for others, meeting expectations, and doing what seemed like the responsible thing to do. At some point, though, many begin to notice a quiet sense that something no longer fits. My work centers around helping people slow down enough to understand what is actually happening beneath that feeling. Together we look at the patterns, experiences, and internal narratives that shape how you see yourself and the choices available to you. From that place, people often begin to rediscover a clearer sense of who they are and what direction their lives might take moving forward. I am especially drawn to working with adults navigating identity shifts, relationship transitions, and moments in life where the path forward is no longer obvious.

My name is Dr. Olushola Bakare, and I'm a board-certified Psychotherapist. I attended St Joseph College. I'm happy to help you today with any of your concerns. I enjoy empowering people and digging out their strengths. I don't ask fish to fly, neither do I ask birds to swim. I respect everyone's strengths and help my client recognize them. I love to highlight my client's strengths. I offer a safe, warm, therapeutic, judgment-free space for Adults (18+) and Older Adults (65+). I am sorry, but I do not accept clients who pay in cash. Also, every late cancellation or no-show accrues a late charge fee. It is my ethical duty to officially terminate our therapeutic relationship when it is reasonably clear that the client is no longer beneficent, services are no longer required, counseling no longer serves the client's needs and interests, or Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT limits do not allow the provision of further counseling services. It is the policy of Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, that our professional relationship will be terminated after a one-month consistent lapse of meeting with a client. Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, will attempt to notify you of this change in status as soon as possible after one month. My ethical duty is identifying, being available, and caring for current clients. It could feel awkward for our relationship to end, yet it is not meant to be discourteous in any way. I do not complete disability forms (Social Security, work excuse, FMLA, Court papers/legal papers, emotional support letters, etc). NO COUPLE THERAPY OR MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, PLEASE!

I will partner with you so that you can move toward a life of enthusiasm, wholeness, and fulfillment.

WE THEN WORK TO CHANGE THIS TO CREATE A SET OF MORE HEALTHY AND REALISTIC BELIEFS ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR LIFE. THE RESULT IS THAT YOU'RE NOT ONLY FEELING BETTER, BUT THAT YOU ARE ALSO BETTER ABLE TO MEET LIFE'S CHALLENGES AND PURSUE YOUR LIFE GOALS. IF YOU'RE TIRED OF THE BURDEN OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS OR PROBLEM BEHAVIORS THAT HAS BEEN WEIGHING YOU DOWN, AND YOU ARE READY TO MAKE SOME CHANGES, I'M READY TO HELP YOU GET GOING TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES AND TO CREATE A HAPPIER AND MORE FULFILLING LIFE FOR YOURSELF.

My path to counseling has been shaped by more than 20 years of experience working in universities and nonprofits across the U.S., including two decades in academic medicine and biomedical research administration. As a former biomedical researcher and a leader in administrative research operations, I understand the pressures of high-achievement environments, the complexity of navigating institutional systems, and the emotional toll that can come with careers in science, healthcare, and technology. This unique perspective allows me to connect deeply with students, academics, and professionals working in demanding fields.
