I have designed my experience to encompass a broad range of issues so that I could develop a " true family practice". This has enabled me to comfortably and knowledgebly address most concerns that I face with my clients. I also believe that a therapist should be educated in all treatment approaches and use as many as needed to address each client's concern. I believe each treatment should be " custom designed" for each client to reflect the individuality of the client and presenting problem.

Co-founder and partner of Comprehensive Counseling Center, Howell NJ. I've been in practice for 32+ years. My primary focus is couples, marital and adult individual counseling. My role, when a couple or individual seeks out counseling, is to both be able to listen, in a caring non-judgemental way, and be direct when necessary. I work with the client to tailor the treatment to their unique needs; to help with guidance, support and information, so that things can move forward and their goals can be reached. It's a process that works best when we work together, and is done in an atmosphere of respect, confidentiality and safety.

I believe everyone has the power to change and make new possibilities out of our life experiences! Sometimes we reach a point where we are not sure how to handle something or make things better for ourselves and those around us. Having someone help you work with each area to learn about your own thoughts, feelings and emotions and how you react or respond to situations can take some of the weight and pressure off your shoulders. Seeing a therapist is about building a stronger YOU so that life's twists and turns can be managed effectively. Take your first strong step in seeking assistance!

When feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious, the process of finding a therapist can seem like a daunting task. Your energy is low, you have little motivation, and you don't feel like talking to anyone. Somehow, despite all of that, you're expected to sort through a list of strangers and choose one that you are going to open up to. It seems counterproductive. It's not. You've taken the first step by deciding that it's time... that enough is enough... and that you need to talk to someone. Hopefully, that someone is us.

In addition to "talk therapy", I use Creativity in Counseling, action oriented methods of psychodrama and the playfulness and the projective techniques (including sand-tray, role-play, masks and puppets) of Drama Therapy.

Deciding to start therapy for yourself or family member can be a difficult and challenging decision to make. We believe that clients entering therapy already possess the skills needed to tackle the problems they are currently facing. However, sometimes difficult and trying situations may be best approached with help of a trained professional. Our goal is to help our clients find their inner strengths, increase their coping skills and identify past successes that can be altered and used to help them now.

Life is full of transitions: Marriages, divorces, change of career, retirement, mid life crisis, illness. At times we feel overwhelmed. But no matter how hopeless things may appear at a time, I believe that there is a wholeness and healthiness within. I help men and women to get in touch with the part of them that is well, to heal the part that is hurting.Happiness in life comes through knowing what to hold onto, what to let go of and what to change and how. Things we perceive as negative gain a new meaning when viewed from a place of power, when new skills are learned. See what my patients say about me in Yelp, under Mena Urban

If you’re searching for a therapist you know there has to be a good fit between the two of you in order for that partnership to be successful. I don’t believe there is a one size fits all when it comes to life’s challenges and therefore no one size fits all when I work with clients. I take a strength based approach and use various modalities to facilitate insight, reach personal goals and work through issues. My style is non-judgmental, challenging, sensitive, and supportive. I see clients using a telehealth platform. Clients appreciate the ease and effectiveness of this modality. I hope you will also.

With over 25 years working in the mental health field, I have found that a compassionate, empathetic approach is a necessity when providing therapy. Seeking therapy can be very challenging; one has usually endured a great amount of hardship or discomfort before even making the decision to seek help. A significant aspect to therapy is that to be truly effective, a person must feel comfortable with their therapist and build considerable trust to help facilitate their healing. My goal is to find the best approach that will work for you, maximizing the benefit you will receive in therapy.
