Child Therapists in Audubon, NJ

Hello, I'm Tatyana Shields. In my view, therapy offers a confidential haven where you can shed the fear of judgment and acquire tools for personal growth, moving towards a state of balance and inner peace. I completed my undergraduate studies at the State University of New York at Potsdam and earned my Master of Social Work degree from Florida International University in Miami, Florida. My professional journey has seen me working in higher education as a staff therapist in New York. I specialize in child and adolescent psychotherapy, parent education and skill-building, as well as experiences of trauma and PTSD.

My name is Dr. Jeff Selman and I am a licensed psychologist, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and a certified school psychologist. I offer evidence-based telepsychology services to individuals across the lifespan and their families. These services include autism screening and assessment, individual and family therapy, parent behavior management training and coaching, and consultation and training for schools and community agencies. My approach is grounded in cognitive behavior therapy and behavior therapy. My sessions tend to be active, goal-oriented, and engaging. I love the work and welcomes complex and challenging cases.

Life gets hard. I hope to offer you a patient, comfortable place where you can find support & restoration, as you work to process through whatever life is throwing at you. I firmly believe that the key to emotional health starts with learning to love yourself. And if you’re seeking therapy, you’re already a step closer to that goal. I use a strengths-based approach that focused on bringing awareness to your feelings & their sources, and an understanding of the way that these feelings connect to your behaviors. From there, we can work together to help you cultivate a sense of control over your life. LCSW supervision also available.

I'm moved by the longing of couples to be to be listened to with undivided attention, to be understood and accepted, to be seen in their virtues and appreciated, to be held with affection and delight, to be allowed to be themselves and shift from it's all about me to you need all the same things. Your criticism and force can step back when I help you care about your own wounds - that your partner can respect, but cannot heal for you. I walk with confounded parents to calm their reactions to their children's resistance. They feel ignored, failing to raise a caring and responsible son or daughter. Heart is heavy, values seem irrelevant. Unburden the heart so your children can hear your values, not your reactions. Couple and family difficulties have roots in old hurts where we managed with knee jerk reactions and attitudes of how things should be. I can help you hold perspective, where you value yourself when others discredit you, where you're open to feedback about what is not helpful without feeling criticized or angry. Therapy is not getting partners or children or peers to respond, it's being able to bring my values with conviction without being attached to the outcome

"A journey begins with a single step." And, you can only start where you are. I believe awareness, exploration, and communication of feelings is key to being connected with others as well as with ourselves. I work with children, adolescents, and adults in individual and group settings. I use a strengths-based approach and am trained in Internal Family Systems. I have experience with crisis work, long-term, and short-term therapy. We will start where you feel comfortable taking your "single step" and the journey will go at the pace we set together. You have all the answers- let me help you find them!

I am a licensed therapist specializing in clinical work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups. I view my role as assisting my clients to more fully realize and become their authentic selves. Often, life events occur that prevent us from feeling strong, brave, satisfied, or even present in the world. We may become disconnected from others as well as ourselves. My passion is supporting clients as they grow, heal, play, discover, and connect within their therapy sessions and in their lives. I provide a safe, secure space where clients can explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, wishes, and fears.

Peace of Mind. The goal of therapy is the relief of emotional distress, empowering you to approach life challenges with a feeling of calm and increased competence. We can work to reduce anxiety, improve mood, learn coping skills and calming strategies. These tools can be applied to a variety of issues including parenting skills, childhood behavior, pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood, relationships, medical stressors, anxiety and depression. I am offering in-office sessions as well as telehealth video sessions to let you choose what is most helpful to you.

I enjoy working with individuals who have medical conditions, who are anxious, depressed, and are interested in moving forward in their lives and working with couples who are eager to explore how to improve communication or improve their relationship. I enjoy working with parents looking for assistance in coping with the challenges of raising children. I enjoy working with children/teens facing challenges in school, at home, and with peers. I enjoy working with women who are pregnant and nervous, who have delivered and are nervous about their return to work, and who are having difficulty with the balance of work/home life.

I believe there is a reason for whatever you are struggling with in your life, with a child, or in your relationships. I have a respectful and focused approach that helps you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and if needed to heal from experiences from the past that may be holding you back. I listen carefully to what is not working and help you or your child to develop strategies and approaches that better meet everyone's needs.
