I work with individuals and couples to understand the deeper meaning of the problems holding them back and help them to break free and reach their full potential.

Working together collaboratively but acknowledging that people are the experts of their own life, we will work together to end suffering while building self growth.

Hello there, I'm Luis Luna, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, intimate relationship dynamics, life transitions, and trauma. My approach is rooted in a deep trust that each person has their own innate wisdom. In my practice, I utilize a dynamic combination of Western evidence-based treatments and Eastern psychological insights to help you access that wisdom and let it guide your healing. I am truly passionate about working with clients who are ready to do the foundational work required to believe in themselves again, build authentic relationships, and feel genuinely hopeful about the future.

Hello, I’m Kelly, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over fifteen years of experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. I completed my Master’s degree in 2003 and became licensed in 2007. Throughout my career, I’ve helped individuals with stress, anxiety, depression, helping them find clarity, balance, and renewed confidence. My approach is rooted in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration. I believe therapy works best when you feel truly heard and respected. Together, we focus on understanding what’s weighing on you and identifying practical ways to improve your outlook and emotional well-being. I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions while building skills that support meaningful change. I work collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and develop practical tools that can be used outside of sessions. My goal is to help you feel empowered, capable, and more confident in navigating life’s challenges.

A lot of my clients come in feeling stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break—whether that’s anxiety, relationship stress, or reacting in ways they regret later. Things can escalate quickly, or it can feel like you “know better” but still end up in the same situations. I help people slow those moments down and understand what’s actually happening, so they can start making different choices. My approach is direct, supportive, and focused on helping you feel more in control—without judgment.

I have been licensed as a professional counselor since 2005 in Oregon, and in 2007 in WA, and more recently in AZ. I came to the profession after a career in telecommunications business and before that as a research and public librarian. My last 18 years have involved serving military Veterans in civilian readjustment, trauma processing and career preparation. Helping people solve their life problems and seek future-forward opportunities for growth is my true goal. Individuals and couples seeking some sort of help and guidance about their dilemmas and challenges may find my broad, worldly experience very beneficial.

I work informally: client and therapist relate as equals. Most work consists of Socatric questioning, that is, I believe you have the resources and knowlege to make the changes you seek, but need assistance finding and accessing them. As a team, we'll uncover the anwers together: relief from emotional pain, clarifying life goals, quieting the mind and resolving conflicts through a series of questions to which your answers will inform the course of your treament and the resolution that brought you to therapy in the first place.

I can help find relief and lasting change. This begins with the very useful concept of two simultaneous paths when struggling in life... 1- How can clients ADDRESS, or take action to remedy or lessen, the sources of their struggles? 2- How clients COPE in effective healthy ways? Addressing and coping are central in my work, and clients find this CBT approach to be highly valuable and effective.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in helping you build practical tools to navigate life’s stressors while reconnecting with who you are and who you’re becoming. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as we work toward relief, healing, and a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

I help adults (and teens 13+), virtually and in-person, who are struggling with anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunctions, eating disorders/disordered eating, and adjustment issues related to grief.

I sincerely believe in approaching my clients and their challenges in life with an open mind and gentle heart. I will always persevere to assist my clients with a healthy, natural, and realistic approach as it relates to their intentions and motivation for a successful life.

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.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who approaches care through openness, curiosity, and empathy. I use culturally informed, evidence-based practices and collaborate with clients to develop realistic, meaningful, and values-based goals. For clients who desire it, I integrate a Christian framework into treatment, incorporating Scripture alongside evidence based psychological approaches. You do not have to choose between your faith and your mental health. Therapy can include both clinical tools and spiritual grounding in a way that is thoughtful, respectful, and individualized. I was trained within a scientist practitioner model and focus on helping clients apply what they learn in ways that feel practical and sustainable. My goal is to create a space that is supportive, structured, and purposeful, where meaningful and lasting change can occur.

I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in supporting my clients out of their distress, unhelpful thinking, and dysfunctional behavior toward healthier beliefs about themselves, others, and the world around them. My eclectic strengths-based approach draws upon the best evidence-based practices of solution-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is an approach that has helped individuals find healing and well-being that leads to a life worth living and celebrating. This is so not only for oneself but for your loved ones, family, friends, work associates and community. A powerful moment in therapy says it best when a client shared, “Working with you is like sculpting a block of marble. Every time I am ready to process with you a past traumatic experience, it is like chipping off a flake of stone. Slowly but surely, the sculpting brings about the best version of me.” Another powerful moment was when a client said, "I was lost in the forest with night approaching, then you appeared and like a sign post, pointed the way out." So whether your mental health recovery work entails healing from past trauma exposure, overcoming unwanted intrusive thinking, taming anxiety, lifting your depression, stabilizing your moods, increasing your distress tolerance, accomplishing emotional regulation, or simply achieving greater personal effectiveness at work or at home, you will learn to shape and form yourself into the person you truly want to be emotionally and psychologically.
