Trauma Focused Therapists in Medford, NJ

I am primarily a female-focused therapist working with adolescent, teen and adult females in the state of New Jersey, through virtual sessions. I use a humanistic approach to therapy where I treat every patient the way I would my own friends and family - with a healthy dose of humor and rapport :) I believe our relationship is key to the therapeutic process. My speciality is in anxiety, depression and PTSD. With my person-centered approach, I use a mix of modalities tailored specifically to each individual's needs and goals. I combine my education, along with over a decade of experience, to best treat each individual.

All of our responsibilities & obligations can be really challenging so I recognize the time you're taking to find a therapist to meet your needs. Feelings of anxiety and depression can be overwhelming & support can feel hard to find. I use a client-focused, strengths-based approach as I collaborate with you on your goals & what's most important. Together, we'll help you feel empowered, capable, & successful. Whether we're addressing emotional struggles in your daily life, difficulties in your personal relationships, or mental health challenges you're experiencing, I will listen and encourage you with compassion & empathy.

Are old patterns in relationships or disturbing symptoms such as panic attacks, anxiety, low self esteem, co dependency, emotional disconnection or other upsetting experiences disrupting your sense of balance and wellbeing in your mind, body, and spirit? Have you tried meditation, talk therapy before but felt that you weren't getting to the deeper issues for which you were seeking help?

Are you feeling overwhelmed, irritated or like you just don’t measure up? Do you long to feel confident, secure, and calm even when life isn’t perfect? Do you wish you could handle life’s twists and turns knowing that you will be able to effectively navigate the journey? If you’re feeling like you lost your sense of self or like your secretly failing; you might have decided that it’s time to talk to someone outside of your inner circle.

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.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by all of life's demands, constantly anxious, irritable, and longing for something different? Perhaps you feel that you're not living up to your potential. If you are feeling motivated and ready to make meaningful changes in your life, but are unsure of where to start, I’m here to support you in taking positive steps forward. I sincerely believe in the power of therapy to transform lives.

I hope to help clients cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we all need to build a life worth living. I am committed to helping individuals understand themselves better, love all parts of themselves, and have hope to achieve goals of emotional wellness and overall increased happiness.

Hello, I am Elif and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor. I completed my Master’s degree in Professional Clinical Counseling at La Salle University. I use evidence-based practices such as emotion focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and more. I strive to create a non-judgmental and collaborative space for my clients to help foster growth and safety in exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. As humans, I believe that we are inherently the experts of our own lives.

Toni Mendillo understands what a privilege it is to walk alongside someone who is experiencing emotional pain. With many years of experience, Toni is known for blending her warm and compassionate guidance with proven therapeutic techniques. She is passionate about building a therapeutic relationship that offers safety; a place where you can share your concerns in a non-judgmental, empathetic, and caring environment.

Helping people reach their personal goals is one of the most rewarding parts of my work as a therapist. I believe that we carry the means of healing and growth within us. Therefore, you as the client will choose the direction of therapy. Many times, we just need some help listening to ourselves, clarifying our goals, and choosing the means to reach them. I see myself as a guide and resource on your journey; you decide where we are going and I do everything I can to help you get there. The sessions and course of treatment will be as structured or free-flowing as you decide.

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.

We can all agree close loving relationships are complicated. Do any of these concerns sound familiar to you? "We are considering living together and getting married, but we have a lot of apprehensions." "We are at our wit's end. We fight constantly. There is never any resolution." "Sometimes I feel like I married my mother or father." "I get flashbacks of the affair. I am triggered by everything." "We feel like roommates, like ships passing in the night." "We are tired of trying to please each other and failing." "I want to feel like I matter to my partner. I am always last behind work, extended family, and friends."

We are a dedicated and compassionate group of exceptionally trained therapists working together to provide a wide range of services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. We are widely respected for our ability to offer state-of-the-art therapeutic services for all ages in a caring, friendly and confidential environment.

My counseling is focused on individuals and relationships. I have worked with many who have experienced abuse whether that is verbal, emotional, physical, or spiritual. I have witnessed the growth and recovery of many as they work through the grief and loss of loved ones, values, boundary issues, or well-being caused by separation, divorce, illness, death, or trauma. I find it fulfilling to work with clients regarding their academic or career choices and circumstances, and to assist them with realizing and showcasing their abilities and strengths.

I’ve always had a passion for helping others to develop and live their best lives. For the past decade, it has been my honor to offer a judgment-free zone for my clients to explore the things that are bothering them. I approach my work from a person-centered mindset, where you are the expert on you, and my job is to support you in identifying problems and creating solutions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience in the social work field. I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations in a variety of setting. Past clientele has included individuals of all ages, who have grappled with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, trauma, and relationship challenges, but I especially enjoys working with children and adolescents. As a therapist, I strongly believe in the therapeutic relationship and take great pride in fostering a safe and empowering environment where individuals can openly explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

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.
