Hi there, I'm Shakia.
Are you ready to achieve your goals?
Do you ever feel like you're not in charge of your life? You know what you want to accomplish, but something is preventing you from achieving it. There could be a number of factors at play here, for instance, a lack of confidence, excessive stress, overworking, self-doubt, or other obstacles. Despite your impressive skills, you haven't done all that you aspire to do. Now is the time to seize control of your life, achieve your dreams, and boost your confidence through assertive communication, increased emotional intelligence, and effective coping skills.
As a licensed mental health clinician and personal development coach, I use a holistic approach to guide my clients on their journey toward growth. My ultimate goal is to provide the best possible support to help you overcome your challenges. Together, we'll work towards changing anxiety into awareness, self-sabotage into self-love, and self-doubt into self-assurance through our weekly individual sessions.
If you are struggling to achieve your goals, it's time to break free from the limiting beliefs that may be hindering your progress. You don't deserve to feel like an impostor in your own life.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to schedule your intake appointment so that we can get started and create a positive change.

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.

I am very glad you are considering therapy for your child, tween, or adolescent! I specialize in children and adolescent behavioral health and would love to provide children and teens with the skills they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, which means I look at how our thoughts, and emotions affect our behaviors. Sometimes it feels like one of the areas has control over us, so finding ways to manage our thinking, feeling and behavior is very key to a good balanced life.
I find that all areas of life are important to emotional well-being, so I look for ways to incorporate spiritual, physical, and relationship wellness in my work with clients. Teens need special support in feeling well, in a time when things feel off balance and out of control. I look forward to supporting you and your child/teen.

Hello! My name is Mrs. Michelle Coleman. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked in the field for over 20 years. I specialize in mood disorders, adjustment disorders, & addressing life stressors. Counseling is a collaborative effort between the counselor and the client. My previous counseling experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, with a host of presenting concerns.
I am dedicated to working collaboratively with individuals to help them bring about positive changes in their lives. I use solution-focused and cognitive behavioral techniques to assist with concerns. Solution-focused techniques work well for individuals who present to reduce or relieve their symptoms. Cognitive therapy works best for individuals who have issues related to negative and unsuccessful patterns of behavior and make plans to change those patterns. My goal is to assist individuals with applying these strategies to their current goals and plan of action for change.

I place a high value on authenticity, empathy, and self-awareness, both for myself and my clients as individuals, but also 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, to 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 the last 3 years (prior to that, in person). 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 mood- or anxiety-related symptoms, and to help you to experience a present that is not overshadowed or negatively impacted 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-esteem/self-worth, but have treated clients with many different conditions, the most common of which are listed below.
