Spirituality Therapists in Midland Park, NJ

Hi! I'm Matt. We all struggle, and we all want to be happy. Whatever you're struggling with, if you're looking for greater healing, happiness, freedom, and meaning in your life, I would be happy to assist you. As a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist, I am knowledgeable and skilled in working with a variety of issues such as addiction, relationship difficulties, emotional regulation, self-esteem, trauma, stress, finding purpose and meaning, issues stemming from childhood, difficulty with important decisions, major life transitions, loss and grief, habit building, helping someone you care about change, and spirituality.

Do you want to live a life filled with more passion and purpose? As a counselor, I provide warmth, empathy, and non judgmental environment. I would love to explore issues and behavioral patterns, and help you maximize life satisfaction.

No one should be alone in their struggles. Helping others to discover peace and fulfillment in their lives, I partner and work with individuals, children/adolescents, couples, and families. I help equip clients with the necessary tools to overcome tough experiences that life can bring including anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, and more. I would be happy to take a collaborative approach and work together with my client to create a tailored treatment plan, and ultimately reach mental, emotional, and relational health.

If you are ready to go deep and get to the root of your depression or anxiety, I would love to come alongside you to help you to discover the person God created you to be. I believe that God wants your joy to be full. We will examine the automatic negative thoughts that pop up in your mind, and learn to challenge them. We will examine the dynamics of your different relationships and look for destructive patterns that need to be changed. I will pray with you and for you. I also believe that there is a more joy-filled life waiting for you to embrace.

Effective therapy begins with the client-therapist relationship. In my practice I create a safe space for discussion surrounding life’s inevitable challenges. The foundation of my sessions is empathy, and from an empathic perspective I seek to guide clients toward finding their own inner strength in the face of difficulty, complex emotions, loss, and traumatic situations. I am a highly sensitive therapist and I am skilled in treating highly sensitive people. Using a strengths-based approach, I can help foster understanding and resilience to move through negative experiences and self-defeating patterns into a place of empowerment.

I gravitate to working with people who think a lot, which often translated to intellectuals or perfectionists. I find meaning in supporting clients who are experiencing the effects of trauma, anxiety, overthinking, and especially children and adolescents. I believe that a warm, trusting relationship is what heals us. When we feel seen, and our voices are heard, we are able to be who we are meant to be. Once I get to understand my client's goals and desires, I am able to work together with my client to help them be their best selves.

We all want to be our best self. As different and one-of a kind as we are, we all want similar things; to reach our goals and be happy. Having the ability to be more positive, forgiving, successful, valuable and loving are just a few things we desire. Finding the courage to speak our minds, feeling connected to each other, discovering what our hearts are searching for and remaining determined is something we all strive for. At the end of the day, we desire a sense of belonging, self-worth and the ability to have radical compassion.

Many of us may find ourselves struggling, surviving, doing what we can each day to get by. Just because this is what you have known, it does not have to be your present or future. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Drug and Alcohol Counselor, I have many years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families who are experiencing difficulties including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, family struggles, loss, and low self-esteem. Therapy is a safe space where these difficulties can be explored and an individual path to wellness can be created.

Hello... my aim is to help you overcome obstacles blocking you from living a full and emotionally healthy life. My approach is eclectic and tailored to the needs of each client; I work with everyone as a collaborator, since YOU are the expert in what you need. Our work together will help uncover the innate wisdom and self-compassion you possess and cultivate skills to help you live the full life you deserve. We can learn much about ourselves through both the laughter and the tears; with acceptance and non-judgment we will get curious about your obstacles and challenges.

Life is difficult. Psychotherapy is one way to address life's difficulties. Have you found your AI therapist can take you only so far? AI and apps can be quite useful, but lack the healing magic of human connection. I have advanced training in trauma healing and family dynamics. I'm certified in EMDR. I am able to work with individuals while keeping family and community in mind.

My name is Kaitlynn Azner. I am a licensed social worker, licensed certified alcohol and drug counselor, and certified clinical supervisor; additionally, I am certified in trauma and dialectical behavioral therapy. I am committed to providing evidence-based interventions to empower clients to overcome obstacles and break patterns in order to reach their deepest potential and serenity.

Guiding others has always been a passion of mine from an early age. As I got older, the passion became stronger and pushed me into many different volunteer positions. My desire to help facilitate change crossed paths with my love for volleyball and led me to Costa Rica on mission trips. It was there, in Costa Rica, I knew I was being called to work with people on a more intimate level as my life’s work. Now, I am a Licensed Social Worker. I earned my Masters Degree at New York University. I have worked closely with children, adolescents and adults as dealing with everyday stressors and anxieties to mental health diagnoses.

You're a woman struggling with anxiety, overthinking and self-doubt. Your brain is on overdrive. Like you’re hardwired to overthink and overanalyze. Each day brings more thinking; more worrying. Comparing yourself to others fuels feelings of not being “good enough.” You compensate by being the reliable one, the dependable one; overextending yourself to avoid judgment and conflict. You edit yourself, take blame and responsibility, and overly apologize. Life feels like a constant performance, sacrificing yourself for the sake of others. It’s hard to say exactly when it all started, but you’ve done it so long that you’ve lost yourself.
