Female Therapists in Collingswood, NJ

My work combines psychoanalytic therapy with helping people learn how to listen to the unique and creative way in which our body carries wisdom, information and unprocessed experiences. It is important for us to tell the story of what has happened to us and to have our stories held in a compassionate manner. If we already know our story and find ourselves still stuck in old behaviors, thoughts and patterns, then learning to listen and experience how our bodies hold meaning for what's still unresolved or unknown is a valuable skill.

Are you hard on yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed by worry or stress? Or maybe you live with a painful history that you don't quite feel like you've been able to move past? I can help you develop the skills, such as embodied self-compassion, to feel more peaceful and empowered. Developing a kinder, more supportive relationship to yourself can not only help you heal from the past and feel more hopeful about the future, it can also allow you to experience a felt sense of security and fulfillment in the present and to improve your relationships with others. If you'd like support in creating a more satisfying, joyful life, reach out!

Great to meet you! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey and have been practicing for the last 5 years.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Sometimes our thoughts and emotions can feel really overwhelming. It can be really difficult to sort through it all. My hope is to be a safe space for you to grow, learn, and heal. I specialize in women's health. I am trained by Postpartum Support International on Perinatal Mood & Anxiety disorders. If you are experiencing struggles with pregnancy/postpartum, have a history of birth trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, low mood, chronic worry, a history of challenging experiences,I would be honored to help you navigate through it.

It is with great pleasure that I have practiced with individuals of all ages for the last 25 years. I enjoy building trust in the therapeutic relationship-even with those who are resistant or not sure if therapy is for them. Accompanying individuals on their journey to self-discovery and witnessing their transformation is an enormous privilege of my job. People come to therapy looking to "fix" things. We forget that often we contain the solution to our problems, but that the solutions are buried under the residue of stressful life events, trauma and loss.

Happiness, confidence and peace of mind require a commitment to self-reflection. Powerful feelings and personal struggles present obstacles. Being sensitive to life's complexities, I provide a safe environment to express feelings at your pace. During our time together we focus on the issues that are of importance to you and help strengthen your ability to manage the demands of life.

Depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns can affect us all, especially in these uncertain times. Let's work on developing a greater understanding of you and your trajectory in this life. Together we can set goals that meet the unique concerns that need to be addressed.

Hello! I'm Allyson, and I'm glad you're here. I know that seeking therapy can be challenging, and finding a good fit is so important. As a therapist I take an empathetic and authentic approach to therapy and believe you are your own expert. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment to make sure you feel safe and heard so that you are able to openly express yourself and begin to move forward. I commit to respectfully and compassionately meeting you where you are, and hope to guide you towards your own authentic self.

I come to the practice of psychotherapy with a fresh take on what it means to serve and to heal. With a background that spans both the arts and the sciences, I’ve become rounded and grounded in analyzing problems from an integrative mix of perspectives.

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my profile. I know how hard it can be to find a therapist that checks all the boxes: are they a good fit; do they have appointments that work with my schedule; will I be able to afford it? Hopefully you will find some of those answers here and if not, I'm available for a free phone consult. In our work together, I prioritize collaboration, transparency, humor, and curiosity to help bring more awareness to the patterns in your life that may be blocking you from pursuing or accomplishing personal or professional goals.

Clients come to me when their people-pleasing behaviors have caused them to lose themselves. They feel trapped in exhausting relationships where their needs go unmet, respect seems nonexistent, and their self-esteem is declining. They're confused about how to navigate feelings of guilt, shame, and worry while trying to prioritize themselves. Ultimately, they dream of having the confidence to express themselves fully, assert healthy boundaries, and be kind to others without neglecting their own needs. That's where I come in...

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I am dedicated to fostering healthier relationships and guiding individuals, couples, and families towards positive change. I create a safe space for open dialogue, helping you navigate challenges and discover resilience. I like to create a collaborative approach to ensure you're getting the most of our sessions together.

It is possible to feel better, to see change, and to regain confidence, control and balance in your family and your life. As a therapist working with adults, teens, and parents, I am relaxed, practical, and hands-on. My approach is direct and effective, focused on increasing the "tool box" of skills you, your family, or your child can use in difficult situations. Working together, we will set goals based on your immediate concerns, problem-solve solutions, try out new ways to think about and handle your problems, and we will make changes that are lasting.

Far too often we are weighed down by heavy emotions; intrusive thoughts and conditioned patterns. Through my varied experience I have been able to witness firsthand--that even in the most dire circumstances positive change is possible. My philosophy is to provide you with patience; positivity and pragmatism while varying the therapeutic approach to fit your current needs. To foster motivation and facilitate insight, I utilize a combination of strength-based techniques. I also believe in the significance of incorporating your interests and creativity (e.g. art, music, theatre and humor) into sessions.

Current immediate availability! I as a solution focused, inclusive and nonjudgmental therapist, my goal is to help you feel better by focusing on you as an individual and your own specific needs.

I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment to life stressors, relationships, and women's issues.

Congratulations on taking such a significant and courageous step in your self care. We can easily become stagnated by the struggles of our past or bounded by the worries of our future. My mission is to empower my clients through identifying and cultivating their strengths consequently building upon these qualities to achieve the vision and goals they have for themselves. I strive to foster a relationship that provides a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to share openly and freely.
