Therapists in 19801

I'm Gillian (GILL-lee-en) and I provide relational therapy to adults, couples, and adolescents. My experiences have led me to develop expertise in anxiety, depression, substance abuse, co-occurring disorders, mood disorders, adjustment disorders, individuals with chronic/terminal illness, professionals working in helping fields, work-place stressors, relationship stress, post-partum anxiety, parents of young children. I expanded my practice and additionally offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). KAP can be helpful for people who have depression or anxiety, are feeling “stuck”, and want to get out of a default way of thinking.

I am a passionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology & my Masters in Clinical Social Work. I’ve been in the Mental Health field for over 11 years in which I’ve gained experience in working with youths, young adults, couples, and families. As a military spouse, I’ve grown a love for the military population and their families. I’ve dedicated 11 years to working with military personnel and civilians overseas and stateside. Servicing youth has been my passion for the last 15 years however, working with guardians of my clients has allowed me to develop a love for servicing adults as well.

A secure relationship forms a building block for a healthy and meaningful life. If you're looking for help with your relationship, you need a therapist with real experience and specialized training. I empower my clients and their partners to improve their communication, develop shared goals, and step outside of their problematic patterns. I am certified in the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy (Levels 1 and 2). I am also an integrative therapist with extensive training in CBT for anxiety and depression, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, family systems, and attachment theory.

I am a resident clinician who has worked in community mental health for more than 10 years in environments as varied as hospice care, juvenile group homes, sexual assault crisis support, and justice-involved individuals. I was raised in a working-class home in northern California and became involved in politics, environmental activism, and community organizing at a young age. These experiences complement my formal education in behavioral science and social work, focusing on clinical therapeutic applications with clients identifying with LGBTQ+, kink, ethical non-monogamy, and ‘geek’ culture.

For nearly a decade, I have been dedicated to supporting Black women on their healing journeys. With a deep understanding of the therapeutic process, both personally and professionally, I am committed to providing the support you need.

If you are feeling depressed or hopeless, we can work together to rediscover your light and purpose.

Are you seeking a path of fulfillment personally and in your relationships? Engaging in a rich and meaningful life requires knowing ourselves deeply and acting on intentional choices guided by our core values, feelings, and desires. Our relationships can become more intimate as we develop clarity about our needs and courage to be vulnerable with those we trust to meet us on this level. When we have experienced trauma, pelvic pain, or challenging relationships, we need space to heal. I support clients in deepening their capacity for presence, emotional intimacy, and pleasure through mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance.

One of the biggest predictors of positive therapeutic outcomes is the rapport between the client and the therapist. I want you to know that no matter who you are or what your life journey has been, I will always provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you. I am also supportive of members of the LGBTQ+ community and embrace all gender expressions. I believe in body positivity, and Health At Every Size (HAES). I believe in empowering my clients and their families to be the best versions of themselves by providing them with the necessary education, tools, and resources to do so.

Are you a millennial woman whose life looks “good” from the outside, but you are in inner turmoil? You’re someone who appears successful in one area of your life, but still find yourself feeling overwhelmed, feeling confused, and beating yourself up. You often worry about your family, your relationships, your career or a big life transition. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to learn how to cope. You’re ready to show up for yourself. Most of all, you’re ready to live life with clarity and purpose! I want to help you get there.

In the most simplistic manner, life has a tendency to produce uncertain situations that divert our attention and challenges those of us with the best of intentions. Often times, as adults with professional careers, families, and home commitments, we are left contemplating (or second guessing) our role and purpose in life. Too often, individuals are left with the aching pit in their stomach, the feelings of rejection, and the fear of the unknown; however, despite such feelings, we press on because cognitively, our thinking has been programmed to fight through the nuances of life.

This is a space for everyone who would like to explore their full potential. You can find non-judgmental, unconditional acceptance here. This will be a journey for your personal growth and to reach your life goals, whether it's reaching higher or getting back in the direction you wish. We will work together frequently at the beginning and aim to reduce the frequency when you feel ready. Since 2015, I have worked with a wide range of populations including children, adolescents, families, young adults, and older adults. Common challenges that I work with: bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, family conflicts, and BPD.

People of all identities deserve mental health care that honors their whole, unique self. I enjoy working with LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent folks, and gamers. My work is rooted in anti-racist, trans and queer-affirming, feminist, and social justice values. With warmth, compassion, and probably (...definitely) some metaphors from your favorite games, let's bring curiosity to where you are, where you want to get to, and how we can get there together. As a therapist I pull from lots of different modalities, and my favorites are IFS, trauma informed care, and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

There is no “answer” to find through therapy, but together, we can find your inner strength, your confidence, your self-esteem, and empowerment to take control over your life and decisions and find the power to live the life that you want. I hope every one of my clients who comes to me with their unique challenges will always have a space where they feel safe, heard and validated, and leaves feeling a little lighter than when they came in. I strive to work together with every client to find a path forward to living their happiest, most authentic life.

Hello, thanks for visiting my profile. I realize you may be going through a tough time. Perhaps you’re experiencing a significant transition, a loss, or feelings you’re not sure how to deal with. This can be scary and difficult. Sometimes the hardest part is acknowledging the need for help. I have hope for you. I believe we all have the internal resources to heal and grow, and I would like to help you uncover this healing power within yourself.

My name is Dr. Alyssa Quenzel (she/her) and I am a licensed psychologist in DE & NJ. Reaching out for support can be really difficult, but I hope to try and make it easier. Have you ever just wanted to talk with someone about how you feel, what you think, or what you worry about? Therapy is a place to do this, and a chance to do it at your own pace. I believe that in order for us to work through our struggles, we sometimes need another person to bear witness to our experiences. We are social beings and can't always do things alone! I want to help you feel better by supporting you through the tough times.

Every person in the world is on a journey to being the best version of themselves and I am honored to be in a role of supporting people in that pursuit. I enjoy working with clients to assist them in seeing themselves beyond societal preconceptions and developing a deeper awareness of themselves. I welcome diversity and self expression. My ideal client would be open to the possibility of change and ready to take ownership of their happiness and fulfillment in life.
