Clinical Supervision and Licensed Supervisors Therapists in Lawrence Township, NJ

I have practiced biblically-based, non-judgmental and relational psychotherapy with empathy and results for 13 years. Integrating CBT with deep work, we reduce symptoms but also work towards lasting healing and transformation through renewal of the mind and heart, and developing a meaningful sense of worth, identity, and purpose. CBT by itself is often like a band-aid on a wound that needs surgery. You want someone who isn't just skilled at their craft but will challenge you like a coach. I provide homework, high-fives, and prayer to help you thrive and become your ideal self-empowered and ready for all of life's challenges.

As a licensed professional counselor and a counselor educator/supervisor, I have engaged with the profession of counseling for multiple years in a variety of capacities from practicing as a clinician to teaching in a graduate counseling program. My experience and focus in my practice and education are trauma informed care, suicidal assessment and treatment, grief and loss, divorce issues, faith/spirituality issues, and marital/relationship counseling. I have enjoyed helping a number of clients reach their goals and commit to change.

We all want to have a purpose in the world and desire to be part of something. When conflicts strike, sometimes it feels like a tidal wave crashing on us and our problems become overwhelmingly out of control. Sometimes unresolved problems lead to fear, anxiety, and depression and we find it difficult to cope. My approach to the therapeutic relationship embraces H.O.P.E. - Healing, Optimism, Potential, and Empowerment. I have over 30 years of experience in the field of mental health and I will motivate you to increase your quality of life through evidenced based practices including Motivational Interviewing, CBT, REBT, Mindfulness.

*Accepting new clients for tele-counseling! It is my goal to provide you with a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where we can collaboratively identify and work through any challenges or barriers that are preventing you from living a fulfilling life. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel valued, supported, and understood is the foundation in which meaningful and significant change occurs.

Some of human suffering is about the way we experience the events of our lives rather than the things themselves. Therapy offers an opportunity to bring awareness to our experiences and change our relationship to them rather than try to change the events themselves. Through this approach, we gain a sense of control in our lives and positively experience and influence its direction. If we believe that we have power within us to achieve health and happiness, then the events in our lives that cause us pain and suffering can be seen as an opportunity to learn about ourselves and experience personal growth.

What is Art Therapy? This is the number one question asked of me. Briefly, as defined by the American Art Therapy Association (AATA), "Art therapy is a mental health profession in which clients, facilitated by the art therapist, use art media, the creative process, and the resulting artwork to explore their feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem. A goal in art therapy is to improve or restore a client's functioning and his/her sense of personal well-being." The creative process lends itself readily to meeting the individual where they are at in the present moment. My personal style mirrors this. I utilize both the non-verbal and verbal processes to facilitate understanding, awareness and growth. My particular areas of expertise are grief/loss, attachment issues (i.e.foster care/adoption), trauma, mood instability, and disordered personality.

Village Counseling Services provides intensive, individualized Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) treatment by maintaining a small therapist-to-client ratio and by offering DBT skills training in small groups. DBT is a highly practical, evidence-based direct form of therapy which emphasizes working toward the life you want to live by integrating acceptance and change with cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. This approach is highly effective for those who have difficulty regulating intense emotions.

My Ideal client would be someone willing to put in the work to achieve their goals. My ideal client may be struggling with self-esteem, body image, or relationship issues. They may be in a relationship that contributes to their low self-esteem and want to find the strength and confidence they need in order to leave it behind.

Hi there! Welcome to my practice, SEED Services: Partners for Counseling & Wellness. We use evidence based approaches, including Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method for couples counseling. Our therapists will tailor treatment to your specific concerns, and we specialize in working with issues related to self-criticism, shame, and the patterns of avoidance that are often associated with trauma, anxiety, depression, and problem perfectionism. We also particularly enjoy helping couples build, renew or restore their relationship with one another.

I believe that all people should be treated with kindness, dignity and respect. No one should feel less than because of any issue they have. Counseling is a process of self discovery that sometimes needs compassionate guidance to help clients uncover their inner resources.
