Anxiety Therapists in Holmdel, NJ

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, difficult emotions, family/interpersonal conflict or low self-esteem? Empowered Life Counseling can collaborate with you to help you formulate strategies and coping skills to heal your past, improve your mental health and set you on the path to wellness.

No matter what struggles one's past might hold, I believe all people have the power to improve their lives once they gain insight and skills through therapy. While I have worked successfully with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, I specialize in helping people who are interested in overcoming symptoms related to trauma and anxiety. In addition to my advanced training and individual work with this population, I have also developed and facilitated therapeutic groups for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and women who have experienced trauma of any kind.

I strongly believe you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose and hopeful about the therapy. I view therapy as a partnership that is collaborative and supportive. You define the problem areas to be worked on and identify the goals that you want to reach; I use my training and expertise to help you make the changes you want to make. We are a team working together to reach your goals.

What does a better tomorrow look like to you? Can you imagine your world with less stress and more enjoyment? More effective communication and stronger relationships with others? Therapy can help guide you towards these goals.

When you think about a better future for yourself, what do you envision? Are you feeling less stressed? Are you more confident? Is your relationship thriving? Are you getting more time to do the things you love? Therapy is a journey to find a path towards those goals. Therapy is an individualized process. Sometimes, we aren’t always aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and situations that prevent us from feeling better or getting our needs met. Other times, we are aware of these things but unsure on how to limit how much they impact us and how we can manage them.

Creating the space for reflection is hard, especially in the midst of our busy lives. Many people feel stuck in difficult patterns, not knowing how to be happy. In a collaborative atmosphere, I can help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others. With sensitivity, compassion, and attention to your strengths, together we can identify your goals and help you meet these. Using emotion-focused work is particularly helpful because our feelings offer us a roadmap to our psyche. In other words, our emotions clue us in to what motivates, reinforces, or is aversive to us. Emotions drive our reactivity, thoughts, and mood.

Navigating this thing called “life” can be hard and sometimes you just need a little extra support. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, and interpersonal issues, I may be the right therapist for you.

Anxiety, depression, and worry are making you miserable and keeping you up at night. Nothing you have tried is helping, and you've tried everything. There's never enough time to get it all done, and the pressure never ends. You’re at your wits ends. When you play it forward you only see things getting worse. The unavoidable consequences to your relationships and family, your work, and your health are constant lurking threats. You keep your stress buried inside because you don’t know what else to do. Everyone thinks you have it all figured out. But the truth is you feel lost. You've worked too hard to feel so unhappy.

MRM Psychological Testing and Clinical Services provides comprehensive, goal directed treatment in order to improve emotional health and well being. I focus on the connection between what we think, feel and do and how adjustments and changes in these areas can improve one's life. While my practice is diverse, I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders. Other areas of focus include Mood Disorders, Child/Adolescent related behaviors and disorders, and Adjustment Disorders. My clinical staff also specialize in addictions and family therapy.

Life events are sometimes beyond our control. We can only change the way we cope with it, the way we view it and what we choose to learn from it. In a comfortable and supportive environment, I can provide you with the tools you need to thrive. I treat anxiety, depression, as well as many other symptoms and disorders that affect people for all different reasons. Whether it is a relationship, life transition, illness, loss or other life circumstance, together we can make great changes.

Are you worried about your child and struggling to find ways to help him/her? Does your son or daughter seem unusually sad, angry, have trouble making and keeping friends, or following rules? Sometimes after a change or trauma children express their difficulties through negative behaviors. As parents, we all want our kids to feel good about themselves and be successful. Sometimes its easy to lose sight of a child's strengths and positive attributes. I'm passionate about helping struggling kids and families get back on a positive track in a fun and engaging way.

Anxiety & self doubt can affect our ability to perform at the top of our game. Do you feel like you lack self-confidence in your career or relationships? Do you want to reduce anxiety & increase your self-confidence? More than ever, people are feeling anxious & overwhelmed in their personal & professional lives. Therapy can help people become their personal and professional best! We will explore anxiety, relationships, & other concerns... explore past & present events & feelings that are interfering with reaching your full capacity... & we will make a plan to help you accomplish the goals you set.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults and families who want to make their lives happier. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help children and adolescents who are feeling sad, irritable, frustrated, angry, or anxious. Through therapy, I work with families to help children cope with school, social, family, or health problems. In addition to CBT, I incorporate other treatment techniques to best help you and your child (e.g., play therapy, interpersonal therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family systems, and psychodynamic techniques).

With extensive experience assisting people at every stage in life, my therapeutic approach will provide support and practical feedback to help you effectively address personal life challenges. I have extensive post graduate experience in the treatment of children and families impacted by abuse, neglect and other significant traumatic events such as divorce, death, chronic illness or substance abuse. I integrate complementary methodologies to offer a personalized approach. With compassion and understanding, I will work with you to help build on your strengths and attain the personal growth you and/or your family are committed to accomplishing.

If you are having difficulty overcoming struggles in your life, you are not alone. I can help navigate you through these difficult times in a safe, comfortable, and confidential space. I believe therapy is an avenue to address the challenges in life that sometimes seem unmanageable. Whether a change in your life is causing you discomfort, or you are struggling with substance use, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship issues, I am here to support you and help you cope with life's struggles.

My clinical experience has been in the treatment of anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD and behavior management, family and school problems, issues related to grief/loss, and issues related to self-esteem and self-image. I primarily work with adolescents and young adults.

With the proper support and guidance, therapy helps you cultivate your strengths, regain control, learn ways to overcome challenges, enrich your life, and take steps toward a more fulfilling future. My broad experience as a therapist enables me to offer you professional help for your specific struggles. My specialty areas include self-esteem, self-image, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, developmental and social difficulties, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief/loss.

You feel sad, confused, or overwhelmed. You're afraid you will fall apart if you open up. You're stuck and you don't know where to go from here. When you’re trying to hold it all together it's difficult to reach out for help. You deserve a safe place to go, where you can put down all the pain and fear you've been carrying, and begin to find yourself again. It's my personal hope that I can provide this space for you, so you can receive the compassion and support needed to move forward on your journey.

Lets work together in a safe, warm and nonjudgemental setting that allows you or your child to meet their fullest potential. I will help you identify goals that are meaningful to you and together we will work towards meeting these goals. Therapy is a partnership and we will embark on the journey and navigate the roadblocks that can make life difficult. I use a client-centered approach along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and play therapy.
