Spirituality Therapists in Bergenfield, NJ

I believe authentic relationships are the key to authentic healing. We all have experienced pain, struggles, or difficult transitions in our lives, but we have not always had the opportunity to reflect, heal, and learn from these moments within the context of a close and safe environment. I believe that a collaborative and therapeutic relationship can be a life-changing experience as it helps you process current and past pains, become more self-aware, develop more meaningful relationships, and experience thriving in your life.

Each person, with their life circumstances, is completely unique. I believe that change happens in an atmosphere of acceptance, compassion and care, and that hinges on the relationship between therapist and client. My own inner work impacts my life and the lives of my clients. I bring a sense of humility and perceptiveness to this relationship. When working with clients who are overwhelmed with fear and anxiety, I strive to draw my clients out through building a vessel which can contain the intensity of their emotions. Then they can hold their feelings, rather than drowning in them.

My ideal client is a young adult facing overwhelming life challenges. They might feel lost amid trauma, loss, or big changes, even though they seem okay to others. They struggle with emotions like sadness and stress and need a safe place to talk, heal, and learn healthy ways to cope. They want to find peace and purpose, and they seek support to understand themselves better, grow, and face life with confidence. They're ready to explore, heal, and become the best version of themselves, knowing they don't have to do it alone.

Hello! My name is Dr. Chelece-Atavia Brown, a Pre-Licensed Social Worker (LSW) for New Jersey and a certified facilitator in Teen Mental Health First Aid by the National Council of Well-Being.

Are you tired of experiencing the same patterns and want to heal at the root of your symptoms? I specialize in treating trauma, addictions, and self esteem issues - in particularly with women and teenagers. When my clients first come in, their lives are overrun by fear and insecurities. They carry around deep shame about who they are and never feel quite “good enough”. They want to be confident and heal the patterns that are holding them back but do not know where to start.

Therapy is a journey we take together. As partners we will focus on you--your needs, your desires, your history, your goals. I believe we are all capable of growth and change. Therapy is hard work sometimes, but almost always rewarding and you actively choose a better life for yourself.

I help people who struggle with the challenges of life today. People want to have full, meaningful lives. Anxiety, depression, addictive behaviors, all are barriers to feeling capable of making good decisions and solid about our life direction. Do you feel stuck in a rut of negative thinking? Do you want to feel more choice in your life and less self-forcing? Do you feel things are hopeless but want to find a way forward? There are many paths forward, and you can do the work that will put you firmly on the life trajectory you want.

I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have been in private practice for over 30 years. The eclectic nature of my training and practice allows me to tailor therapy to your unique treatment needs. As we think about the nature of experiences such as trauma (both old and new), grief, loss, depression, and anxiety, it is clear they affect us through the mind, emotions, and the physical sensations. The mind-body connection treats the whole person in the service of health and well-being.

Nearly thirty years ago I was began my family therapy training with one of the most highly-regarded figures in the field, Dr. Salvador Minuchin. Since then, I have worked with couples reeling from affairs, or on the verge of divorce, people suffering from anxiety or depression, and children with "acting out" behavior or identified as having ADHD. My long experience as a family therapist has only deepened my appreciation for the trials and triumphs of the human condition. I work relatively briefly, and often successfully, with those who have tried other therapies, without improvement.

I believe the most important ingredient to achieve change, is a strong connection between the client and therapist.

Psychotherapy to fit your needs. Clients seek therapy to equilibrate their lives. In a psychotherapeutic session, a safe, non-judgmental environment is created to help you feel comfortable, to talk freely about your issues. I use different therapeutic styles related to your problem. I help you to identify the core of your emotional trauma and to develop coping strategies to achieve a balance of body, mind and spirit. In a session, meditation and breathing exercises may be incorporated to help with inner self reflection. Also, I teach meditation and breathing exercise independently upon request.

Courage, resilience, and strength are some of the traits you've developed while navigating through life.

The initial step in finding a therapist can feel overwhelming and daunting. Therapy is one important step in creating a path towards healing and/or self-love and acceptance. I recognize how challenging this first step can be and aim to help you receive the best and appropriate care based on your specific needs and presenting concerns. I am a bilingual/bicultural Latina therapist that uses a grief, trauma, and culturally informed approach in working with individuals and families.

I am a graduate of Touro College School of Social work and I enjoy working with clients from all different backgrounds and walks of life. I have experience working with teenagers, adults, and couples. Some of the issues they face include depression, anxiety, domestic violence and mood disorders.

People who seek treatment are often burdened with the worry that it might take too long, will "not work" or will come back. Since beginning clinical practice, I have always made it my business to have my patients engage in the therapy both in and out of session, understand the therapy process and stick to one's goals. The CBT model that I use and tailor to each particular individual's need, helps empower patients to reach their goals both in therapy and beyond... in life itself.
