Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Medford, NJ

I am a NJ Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a NJ Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work, and Director of Community Counseling Service of South Jersey LLC. Primarily a psychotherapeutic counselor for the last 25 years, I am also a published author, present personal growth workshops, lecture at conferences, and conduct professional supervision for my colleagues. The MSW initial next to my name means I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work. The LCSW initial means I have been licensed by the state of New Jersey to practice Clinical Social Work.

I believe that the therapeutic process is a valuable vehicle for positive change in a client's life. I help children, adolescents and adults find relief from depression, anxiety, and anger and develop coping skills to deal with the many stressors that life presents.

I provide treatment for a range of concerns, from depression and anxiety, to family conflict and parenting difficulties. My goal is to work with clients in times of distress to make changes in their lives that will leave them feeling happier and healthier.

I’ve fit into a listener role even from a young age, always finding myself listening to others’ stories and experiences. Having this interest led me to pursue my degree in Clinical Counseling and I am now a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have spent the past several years working with individuals from all walks of life who struggle with depression, anxiety, impulsivity, life transitions, and emotion regulation.

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in New Jersey. I am a warm, genuine, and empowering counselor. I operate with a positive and unconditionally supportive approach, yet active and challenging when appropriate. I strive to create a space that fosters growth in and outside the therapy room.

Sometimes life catches us off guard, in relationships, within our family, due to loss or even behavior challenges with young ones. As a therapist my focus is on empowering individuals with a warm, non-judgmental approach. I like to create a space where clients have the freedom and safety to process their lived experiences.

Are you seeking a happier life? Sometimes we realize that our way of handling challenges is just not working. Major loss or life changes are hard. For some of us, the disconnection we experience with loved ones actually prevents us from feeling loved. Maybe you are a parent with a child that struggles, and you’re just not sure what else to do. Therapy can help with personal and relationship challenges. Therapy can give you the tools and strategies to help you live the life you want and and the life you deserve.

Welcome! My name is Dr. Alison Hoyt. I often say, most people do not go skipping with joy to talk about some of the hardest things they carry in life. I respect and value how hard change can be, and even talking about change with a stranger that you do not yet really know! It is my goal and joy to create a safe and supportive place to work through goals in therapy. I view therapy as a toolbox -one in which we will work together to learn tools to help you achieve the goals you set in therapy. Part of therapy will be learning how everyone’s mind is unique to them and understanding how your mind can be a very valuable tool.

Hi! I’m Danielle, a Licensed Associate Counselor(LAC) and a Dance/Movement Therapist(R-DMT). I have a passion for incorporating movement techniques to assist with healing and connecting the mind, body, and soul. Our sessions will include studying the physical responses to thoughts and behaviors, and linking them to the energy centers of the body. I weave in breath work, mindfulness, and other holistic approaches that help navigate difficult emotions arising in and out of a session. I have the belief that we should work together, have open communication, and mutually provide feedback to each other throughout the therapeutic process.

Hi, my name’s Alicia! I believe in meeting people where they are in their lives. I am a huge champion of challenging and empowering youth to be independent, confident, and their own person. I like to create a team environment using a collaborative approach with the youth and family.

There is nothing more exciting when a child recognizes their potential in themselves and finds their voice! I utilize evidenced based modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and behavior modification strategies.

There are times in life when we find ourselves feeling unbalanced, unsatisfied, lonely, or hurt. Healing and change begin when we feel deeply heard.

I approach my therapeutic work with the ability to listen, to play and to be solutions-oriented.

I have over 20 years of experience working with children and families.

I strive to support the development of problem solving skills and strategies for coping. I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation and other current strategies such as mindfulness with both children, families and individuals to bring about positive changes.
