Preteen Therapists in Haddon Heights, NJ

My treatment philosophy is deeply rooted in celebrating neurodiversity and creating an environment where children and families are empowered to live authentically. Central to my approach is the cultivation of self-advocacy skills, honoring assent, and nurturing total communication. I am dedicated to equipping children and families with the essential tools to effectively communicate their needs, preferences, and boundaries.

I have worked for over 20 years as a therapist and clinical supervisor helping adults, couples, teenagers, and children. I believe there is a reason for whatever you are struggling with in your life, with a child, or in your relationships. I have a respectful and focused approach that helps you make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and if needed to heal from experiences from the past that may be holding you back. I listen carefully to what is not working and help you or your child to develop strategies and approaches that better meet everyone's needs.

I have been in the field for over 11 years. I have worked with adolescents and their families. I have worked with adults. In addition, I specialize in working with substance abuse and mental health issues. The mental health issues I have worked with have varied from anger and anxiety to parenting and couples counseling.

I have been practicing in the field for ten years. I have a person centered approach to therapy, mixed with cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and Gestalt therapy when it is called for. I do mental health counseling, addiction counseling, couples counseling, individual counseling, and marriage and family counseling. I see clients of all ages from children to senior citizens. As we have to continue to change and adapt to a new way of counseling, I am including tele therapy in my practice.

Mindful Soul Center for Wellbeing is a counseling center where you can navigate difficult life transitions, heal from painful events and trauma, create healthier relationships, and develop a truer and more compassionate relationship with yourself! We are recognized particularly for our work with female-identifying adults, tweens, and teens on the path towards balance and well-being and for being a trauma-informed practice with a large number of our team experienced in EMDR Therapy as well as IFS Therapy.

My practice is dedicated to helping child, adolescents, adults, and families achieve the lives and relationships they desire and deserve. It's often where the demands of our lives derail us from our intended paths, creating conflict and distress. I make it my duty to provide unconditional support and respect for your experiences to help you grow and achieve the desired changes you want in your life. Together, we will identify the source of your emotional distress and understand how it affects your life, which in turn, will help you assert control and obtain your desired outcome.

My goal in treatment is to help individuals find more effective ways to live healthier, happier, and more successful lives. What this looks like for each client depends on individualized treatment goals. Among my specialties is the treatment of anxiety and depression. I successfully help parents shift their children's behaviors from problematic to more cooperative and positive. I also specialize in trauma recovery, treating victims of childhood abuse, major accidents, rape, domestic violence, community violence, other crimes etc. In addition, I also work with issues related to adoption, the death of a loved one, divorce, etc.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting challenge, and it's courageous to even begin the process. Many of my clients have seen one or more therapists in the past, and struggled to feel understood and get the help they actually need. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place. I am trained and practiced in addressing the root causes of suffering in individuals and relational systems, which allows me to provide the highest quality of care to children, teens, adults, couples, and families; even those who have previously struggled to find therapy helpful.

As a trauma informed therapist, I have worked with individuals and groups to help them manage stress, heal emotional wounds and bring into awareness past learning that may block happiness today. Individuals want direct but supportive listening and honest feedback. My desire is to gently motivate, educate and inspire individuals to establish healthy emotional boundaries and coping skills. Individuals will feel motivated, educated and empowered to establish healthy emotional boundaries so that they can positively and productively increase their self-esteem.
