Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Sewell, NJ

Welcome to Coach & Counsel LLC. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful agent of change and that healing begins only in a space that is truly safe for self-exploration. In my practice, I work collaboratively with my clients; I believe that therapists are the experts of the process, and that clients are the experts of their own experience. I aim to create an empathic, compassionate and nonjudgmental environment, so that you can be unafraid to express any areas of yourself that have been tucked away.

I am here to be a listening ear, a guiding hand, and a solid support for you in your journey. I have been working in the human services field for over 25 years and have experience with many different people. I have studied transpersonal and applied psychology in undergraduate school and I have my Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling: Clinical Mental Health Track. I have always loved helping others find insight into their lives and watching them flourish. Every human being has the potential to thrive and there are no lost causes. You can find fulfillment and peace!

Are you feeling lost and stressed by life's challenges and uncertainties? Are you experiencing the desire to make changes in your life, but don't know where to begin? You are not alone. Life's obstacles have hit hard for many people, especially since the pandemic. Let us work together in identifying old patterns, false beliefs and make changes to best meet your personal goals.

Life can be hard enough without the added pressure of living up to judgements, opinions, and expectations. You are checking off boxes except where your self-care is concerned. The top priorities are about everyone else and you feel, left behind, because you are not where you desire to be mentally, physically, and/or spiritually. You stress, doubt yourself, and take what feels like the "easy" way out. Caring less about your needs, wants, and desires in an effort to mask the hurt, stress and anger. You deserve space to focus on "you" and focus on those areas that are important to you and will help support and empower your success.

You might be feeling upset and out of control about your life. You might have recently discovered that you're neurodivergent (or not even sure) and you want to explore the possibility in a safe environment. You might have been through one or more traumas.

You feel lazy and unmotivated. You have the time to get things done, know what you need to do, but don’t seem to have the energy or motivation to take action. Your family and friends keep telling you that you have potential, should do more, and get yourself together. You know they're right, but you just don’t feel like it. You can see what they see in you, but for some reason, your body isn’t working with your mind to take action. You’re tired of just sitting around not living the life that you know you can have. You want more for yourself and know you can get it. You just need the skills to help you.

I am a clinical and school psychologist and work with adults, adolescents, and children. Cognitive Behavioral approaches are woven into everything I do, with different techniques tailored to the specific needs of each client. I believe therapy should be challenging AND fun.

I have been working with children and adults for over 25 years, diagnosing and treating mental health issues. I believe there is a very large range of "normal" and we all struggle with life at times. My professional goal is to provide a safe atmosphere to identify and discuss stumbling blocks and guide others to a place where they can confidently be themselves, fulfill their potential and find joy. It can be challenging to ask for help, but taking that risk and facing your fears opens up a world of possibilities.

I believe strongly that clients come in all different shapes and sizes and from different walks of life. Therefore, I do not have an ideal client, as my wish is to help anyone who needs it regardless of their experiences, needs, and goals. I welcome the experiences I will gain from having diverse clients.

My ideal client is a young adult under the age of 35 who may have difficulty with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, adjusting to new circumstances, stress, family strain, relationship issues, and cultural stress.

My ideal client is one that is open to change. A client that, even if they see no way through, they trust that I am there to do all I can to help them, not just to listen, watch the clock, and end a session, but to be invested in their transformation from start to finish. My ideal client is one who is comfortable, even if not at first, celebrating themselves and not being fearful about trying again. Things aren't always successful on our first try, but my ideal client will understand this, embrace the lesson in each situation, and be willing to use what they've learned to try again.

My ideal client needs help with the services I specialize in. I typically consider the client's current habits and strengths to guide us on where to start goal setting. Showing up to therapy is a huge step, and I commend any client who takes that initiative.

My ideal client is someone who understands the areas of their life that need improvement. They have an idea of potential treatment goals for therapy and is open to the process. Additionally, they believe there are many ways to address previous traumas and can identify preferences for treatment. For example, a client who is open to incorporating journaling, meditation, or other holistic practices in addition to traditional talk therapy. My ideal client intentionally commits to the therapeutic process and is open to collaboration in the therapeutic space.

My ideal client is female, male, or nonbinary and is kind and generous, has good ethics, and loves to help others. They have been experiencing low self-esteem and have been numbing out emotions through food, technology, work, or other distractions. Their numbing-out practices have held them back from being their authentic self, productivity with work, maintaining healthy and loving friendships and relationships, having enough energy, and their overall self-esteem. They are ready to commit to putting in the work in therapeutic services to help them develop and maintain healthier coping skills.

I enjoy working with clients who are willing to work with me to get them to where they can thrive in life. I especially enjoy working with clients who are open to exploring their past and exploring how they can use that information to better understand themselves on a deeper level. My ideal client wants to improve and change to have a more fulfilling life. I enjoy providing clients with the safe and compassionate environment they might need to process their emotions and past trauma to help begin creating a life worth living.
