Intellectual Disability Therapists in Brick, NJ
Starting therapy is an exciting yet scary time. Creating a safe and supportive environment is an essential goal between myself and my clients, as it lays the foundation for effective therapy and client growth. When clients feel safe and supported, they are more likely to open up, share their experiences, and engage fully in the therapeutic process.

Anyone who approaches my office would be an ideal client. If someone understands that they need support, I can only try my hardest to offer the proper support. Some issues that people face in this world are anxiety, depression, isolation, racism, and financial barriers. The needs people have will vary and I will collaborate with my client to work towards finding a solution. Some people may need a safe place to communicate. Others may need tangible resources. If I don't know the answer, I will network and find a person who can provide insight.

My slogan is The Courage to Change, The Strength to Heal. I believe that counseling is a journey of self-discovery in which the therapist and client work together to explore the client's current state of physical, mental, and emotional well being. Another important aspect of my work is the exploration of ineffective behaviors and patterns that are no longer useful to the client's well being. Many of these patterns are rooted in the person's past, and I believe that most people need to visit the past in order to fully understand why the things, feel, and behave the way they do.
