Depression Therapists in Mount Laurel, NJ

Are you struggling with challenges that seem insurmountable? Are they causing you to feel overwhelmed, hopeless and isolated? I seek to help you feel empowered and work towards healing by providing you with the tools and skills to enhance and improve your life. I believe the therapeutic process is collaborative and should provide an environment for you to explore and identify patterns of behavior, gain clarity and seek resolution. It is important for me to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to be able to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

My name is Krystina Rogers and I have a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University and currently studying at Southern New Hampshire University for an MS in Forensic Psychology. I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) and I have been working in the field of mental health and substance abuse since 2018. I am a current member of The American Counseling Association (ACA) and The National Association of Lesbian and Gay Bisexual and Transgender Addiction Professionals (NALGAP).

I love working with all different types of clients, and I find that I learn from those that I work with. I love working with anyone who wants to make a change or achieve a goal.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* We have had success in working with people looking to make a change to improve their overall quality of life. Issues could be abstinence from substances, harm reduction, mental health, relationships, communication, self-esteem.

I look forward to working with people who are looking to make a positive change and live their best lives. I do not believe that therapy is a “one-size fits all” model and look forward to getting to know all of my clients on a very individualized basis while providing a holistic, eclectic, and person-centered approach that best supports the person in need.

The ideal patient is one that is aware that change is necessary and is willing to accept help. I work well with a variety of individuals from many backgrounds who need support, constructive feedback, and practical skills from session to session. Since DBT is the primary modality that I use, work in between sessions is necessary for greater outcomes.

My clients want to realize how to use their inherent strengths to make the internal shift necessary to help them achieve the equilibrium that they need in their lives.

My ideal client is someone who is seeking support and guidance on their journey towards improved mental health, personal growth, and overall well-being. They may be dealing with a range of issues, such as: trauma and healing, racial identity challenges, stress and anxiety, personal growth and development. Their goals may include emotional resilience, trauma processing, cognitive shifts, narrative transformation, and mindfulness and awareness.

Helping others has been a passion of mine ever since I was young. I believe that therapy can be used as a tool to help create the best version of yourself. As a therapist, I wish to work with you and help achieve your goals to improve your well-being. I have worked with a variety of individuals over the years while working in the field. As your therapist, I wish to be a strong and steady support for you on your therapeutic journey. My therapeutic approach is tailored to suit your needs and goals for therapy.

Thank you for visiting my page! Our emotional wellbeing is utmost important and finding someone who is non-judgmental, understanding, and empathetic to your situation is not easy! Therapy is about you, but it’s also about our working relationship. Along the journey, I’ll guide and support you, and cheer you on. Our sessions are a safe space to speak your mind. Having lived in different countries and travelled extensively, I have experienced different cultures and faced many personal challenges. I have worked with many people of various backgrounds and ethnicities who have had experience in a spectrum of issues, and I'm here for you.

Similar to how people workout their bodies, the brain also needs to be exercised and maintained. Therapy allows you to not only better yourself, situation or life but it allows you to cleanse your mind and stay mentally healthy. Mental health is something that can impact an individual’s life in numerous ways; such as daily activities, relationships, personality or even cause physical symptoms to arise. Coming from a culturally diverse background, my mission professionally is to create awareness for mental health in minority communities that may view mental health as a taboo.

Finding a therapist that you can trust is important. In my experience, I recognize that so many of us are unfairly hard on ourselves, and I seek to help empower people within a supportive space. I am a strong believer in people's strengths, potential for growth, healing and self-realization. I specialize in working with people who tend to shut down or look for quick comfort when facing the stress and challenges of life. I help my clients understand their triggers and learn new coping skills that help them feel healthier and more confident.

In my professional work I have learned to empathize deeply and to make observations and interpretations based on years of accumulated clinical knowledge and experience. While my professional training has been invaluable, my clients (and my colleagues, too) have been the most extraordinary teachers of life and healing. Through my work I have learned to be more open and compassionate and more fully human. This enables me to be a more effective facilitator in the healing process of psychotherapy. It is always a privilege to do emotional healing work with another human being--both of us are enriched.

Do you want to improve your life and relationships? I have been successful in helping families in: navigating trauma, reunification, resolving divorce and conflict via improving communication skills, life skills building in aspergers teens, and increasing stress management skills in all ages. Do you want to improve your ability to manage challenges in your life? Have you been wanting to seek help but have been procrastinating? You can be helped.

I believe that therapy is a valuable process which helps people sort through some of the difficulties that life sometimes offers. As a therapist, I assist my clients in the exploration of getting to know who they truly are in order to have a more fulfilled life.

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. A plan for each client is developed based on their unique personal history, strengths and needs.

I provide therapy that is about growth, self-understanding, and becoming the person that you really are. Many of my patients come to see me at times of change or transition in their lives. Some come for help that is focused, specific, and relatively short-term. For example, many anxiety problems and life transition issues are suited to short-term work. I know how important it is for patients to feel heard and understood, by a therapist who is non-judgmental. Outcome research on psychodynamic therapy has shown that therapy sets in motion a process of personal growth that continues to develop even after therapy ends.

Are you longing to develop a deeper connection with your inner self? 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?

It is my life purpose and passion to help others develop inner resilience and self compassion to navigate their deep personal growth journey. I offer both traditional psychotherapy and holistic modalities, giving people HOPE and tools they need to heal emotional wounds and behavioral patterns. I specialize in working with individuals, couples and families who are motivated to have better relationships with themselves and their loved ones.
