Preteen Therapists in Monroe, NJ

I love to help others. It has been my passion ever since I was a teenager. I want to be a positive support and teach others how to be the best version of themselves. It is so rewarding to be part of another person's journey and see them accomplish their goals. I also want to be the major point of support for someone that I wish I had and needed when I was younger.

Whether the client in front of me is one person or a couple, I look forward to the opportunity to help people feel heard and validated. Helping people identify and express their needs is a favorite part of the therapeutic process. From there, people can begin to identify and set the boundaries they need, leading them to feel empowered within their relationships. My wish is to give clients the opportunity to identify and communicate their needs, set boundaries, and live the life they'd prefer without others' expectations or limitations. I love to watch the transformation as clients live in a way that allows them to feel confident.

Worried about your daughter? Lack of self-esteem, lack of confidence, people-pleasing behaviors, no identity of their own, decisions and choices driven by peers, boys and social media likes? There are so many things in our society that are affecting girls and the women they grow into. Together though we can change their thoughts around their experiences and help to build resilience and strength so they can develop into the strong, confident women they were destined to be.

Hello! My name is Jennifer Hilligus. I am a counselor and an educator. My approach to counseling is tailored to each individual, couple or family. I feel strongly that we must work to understand our patterns of thinking in order to identify why we feel and act the way that we do. During the therapeutic process, we will study your personal traits and patterns and develop ways to achieve all of your counseling goals. You can do it. I can help.

Our mission at Behavior Unlimited (BU) is to provide the most quality services for children, families, and schools. Spreading the passion for helping others is what means most to us. BU focuses on teaching functional skills so each child can be their best self. Behavior means communication. At BU, we look at the function of the behavior and teach replacement behavior so that all children can be understood. The teaching is done both by working directly with children AND with families and schools. The end goal for every skill taught is independence. All of the teaching is done naturally all while focusing on functional skills.

Each person possesses the power to make changes to be able to lead a more fulfilling life. At some point in our lives, most people will experience anxiety, depression, loss, relationship issues, or difficulty adjusting to life transitions. It is important to have a safe and nonjudgmental place to express yourself. Therapy can help you see your situation from different perspectives and help you to evaluate which path is the best one for you as your own unique person. I work with patients with various problems including depression, anxiety, behavioral disturbances, bullying, school issues, relationship problems, and self-esteem.

Life is a series of choices and decisions that often lead us to uncharted destinations and exciting opportunities. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming and obstacles may occur to block our path or keep us stuck and unable to seize the opportunities within our reach.
