I am passionate about supporting teens and adults facing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, addictions & recovery. I draw from my background in rehabilitation counseling to develop individualized, solution-focused interventions that create a safe space for clients to be their unapologetic selves. I believe in a holistic approach, utilizing strategies like motivational interviewing, mindfulness, CBT, and existential therapy to enhance clients' strengths and build resilience. I would be honored to support you on your journey.

In my practice, I like to look at how we can better change ourselves to better deal with the problems in the outside world. While trained as a relational psychodynamic therapist, my style draws from a variety of methodologies depending on each client's needs. I tend to be interested in how the past interacts with the present, helping you gain insight and self-awareness in a collaborative atmosphere. Throughout my experience, I have enjoyed working with a variety of people, keeping in mind the uniqueness of each individual's experience.

I am a Licensed Social Worker in New York and New Jersey, and graduated from Fordham University where I earned my master’s degree in social work. I am passionate about helping my clients get to know and navigate their inner world. I work with individuals who have struggled with addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma. In addition, I enjoy couples work, focusing on communication, negative patterns in relational conflict, and issues of infidelity. I decided to go back to school to earn my doctoral degree in social work at Capella University.

I love to work with kids, teens, adults, and couples to support clients facing things like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief & loss as well as school and peer issues. With young people, I combine play therapy with parental collaboration to heal and grow. With adults, I focus on helping you feel safe, supported, and empowered in our sessions and we'll draw on techniques like CBT, DBT, and motivational work to help you gain insight and bring about change. In couples therapy, I use the Gottman Method to help couples feel understood and connected. See if I am taking new clients and book here: bit.ly/KendallM

It is integral for me to create an environment for you where you are encouraged and feel empowered to make positive changes in your life as you work towards your treatment goals. I will work to assure you that I am providing you with comprehensive and quality services for you and/or your family. Life is complicated and don't we know it! Whether this is your first time in therapy or you are returning to services, I will meet you where you are comfortable to start. I am here to listen, provide you with the support you are seeking, assist you in reaching your goals and challenge you where we feel that it is needed.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who is committed to help you feel better, to be more productive and to have more satisfying relationships. I believe in partnering with my patients to create a life worth living. You can accomplish this by incorporating mindfulness exercises, learning new coping skills, exercise and strengthening relationships. Together we will explore the connections among these areas in order to help you become the best you possible.

Inevitably we all encounter profound disappointments and trauma in our life-time. The resulting pain which lingers, may cause physical or emotional symptoms such as confusion, excessive anger, fear, anxiety, and/or depression. Such symptoms make achieving one's life's goals difficult. The goal of psychotherapy is to relieve these debilitating symptoms. Working with adult individuals, I create an environment that facilitates an honest and open exchange between patient and therapist. My goal is to identify the source of symptoms and to increase my patient's quality of life by restoring a sense of balance of body and mind.

Contemporary life causes emotional/ mental conflict and stress. As your therapist, I will assist you in achieving authentic self-knowledge. "Knowledge Is Power". Through mirroring, I will reflect YOU to yourself; that knowledge can empower you in your life to resolve conflicts, mitigate anxieties/ depressive states and enhance/ maximize productive relationships. With 36 years of clinical practice especially serving the GLBT community, this work has enhanced my ability to be sensitive and insightful into the general human condition. The curative aspect of treatment is relational. I assist the client in developing a therapeutic alliance with me to promote mental and emotional health.

Families evolve and change over time. As individuals age and grow, their roles within the family also change. The family can help - or hinder - individual and personal growth. Family work can help to make the family a positive source of support. Family work will help you to step back and observe emotional patterns and processes. There definitely can be family change with only one person in the room working with a therapist. In physics there is an adage: for every action there is a reaction.

I am a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. My background includes clinical work at several New York City hospitals, including Mount Sinai and Bellevue, as well as a private practice in Montclair, N.J. I am also a professor at Montclair State University since 2010, and have published articles on optimism and resilience.

My style is very warm & caring with a strong detail for eliciting emotional honesty. Appropriate humor with an inquisitive dialogue bring deep & real issues to light. My primary goal is to build a safe and trusting relationship with you. I strive to understand your 'reality' while also exploring some of the biased/outdated beliefs that we all hold, which construct our current 'reality'. If you are looking to have a meaningful, honest & open relationship with your therapist then we would be a good fit. Gratefully, I've witnessed amazing transformations with hard working individuals, couples & families.

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client. I have a varied and flexible range of therapeutic modalities which, after ascertaining what is needed, I will tailor to each client. Every person is different and therapy is not a "one size fits all" endeavor. Some clients come with a specific problem they want to deal with, and some clients come with a feeling that their life isn't moving in the right direction but they don't really know why. I work in both short term and long term models.

Everyone is on their own healing journey. I am here to offer guidance and support as you walk your own unique path. I understand that life and this path can sometimes be difficult to navigate, but the journey can also be beautiful. I offer a compassionate and holistic approach to therapy with a central focus on healing the mind, body and spirit. I welcome people of all backgrounds and have extensive experience working with diverse groups of clients. I understand each person's needs are different and I use various therapeutic techniques and approaches to best suit you and address your specific needs.

Are you having trouble at school, work or home? In your overall life? I am a compassionate, understanding therapist who provides supportive psychotherapy to children, adolescents and adults in diverse settings. Working with me challenges you to become the best you and restore your being. I strive to ensure that you reach the optimal potential of you!

I provide individual psychotherapy to improve emotional and mental health. I am experienced in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders in adults, as well as behavioral issues in adolescents and teenagers. I have specialized training in working with those dealing with relationship issues, family conflict, low self-esteem and school problems.

I offer a supportive and safe environment for adults and seniors who are experiencing challenges in daily living. Together we will address and work through those challenges and, as a result, I will help you to grow more satisfied in your quality of life.

Over the past 42 years, I have devoted my practice to the treatment of people who want to feel happier with themselves, their relationships with their children, spouses, or family of origin. Many times people suffer from low self esteem, anxiety and depression. Parents come in with issues around their adolescent's behavior. Adults wish to improve how they communicate to their spouses, or would like to deal more effectively with problems at work and with bosses, or other authority figures. Many need help with everyday functioning, and some are struggling with confidence issues and initiative to set positive goals for the future.

Life can sometimes feel and be very complicated. As a psychotherapist in private practice for 25 years, I work with adults, adolescents, families and couples. The way I approach working with people is to create a compassionate, intelligent, non-judgemental, therapeutic space where a person can feel safe, heard and understood. A person can then be more at ease with talking about their concerns and problems in an authentic and meaningful way. I welcome people from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and family structures.
