As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey with decades of experience , I understand that taking the first step to reach out for help and outside support oftentimes can be hard. In fact, doing so is a sign of strength.
Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed at home or work; do you have strained relationships with others , unresolved issues from your past, or not feeling good about yourself? Whatever challenges you are currently facing or obstacles getting in the way of your inner peace and happiness, it is important for you to find a safe place where you feel respected, valued and affirmed. I utilize a strength based, reality and client centered approach in working with individuals, couples and families. Here, you will be listened to with empathy and compassion. The bottom line is you are not alone. We will work together to navigate your journey toward a better, brighter and more fulfilling tomorrow. One of my clients said it best (used with her permission)
"Each week it feels like you ask to hold something heavy that I've been carrying for years. You have me explain how I got it, why I've kept it and why I no longer need or want to carry it anymore. By doing that, you keep it for me and I don't have to pick that weight back up. You've made me feel so much lighter, thank you". Therapy will be a journey we will navigate together and it will be my honor to do so.

I have the privilege of working with Doreen Guddemi, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and expertise.
Doreen has the ability to empathize and understand my concerns as I am working through a life transition. She provides a nonjudgmental space for me to express myself. I feel genuinely heard and understood during our sessions. Doreen shows remarkable empathy and compassion and has provided the valuable perspective that has helped me make positive changes in my life. I'm grateful for the wonderful impact Doreen has had on my life. :-)

Doreen has a great way of listening to my thoughts and ideas and complimenting them with her own views. She allows me to freely express myself without judgement and then allows me to be more open with my self. I have enjoyed working with her tremendously!

Before coming to Betterhelp I had some negative experiences and was hesitent to try again with online therapy. Luckily, I was persuaded by a family member to give it another try with Doawhilet Betterhelp. From the very start, I felt comfortable and at ease with Doreen as if I had known her for awhile . What she said, what she didn't say, how she said it, when she said it, created a professional yet personal environment that made me feel safe and relaxed allowing me to easily put my trust in her. A level of trust shared between therapist and patient that enabled me to share my deepest thoughts and feelings needed to work towards a better, healthier and happy me. I am a work in progress, progress that Dorren helped me to make possible, when I didn't think I could. Team Dorreen and Me with all the possibilities.

I’ve been speaking with Doreen for over a year now and her actionable advice and thoughtful insights have been life-changing. Words cannot express how grateful I am for her support!

Doreen was not only understanding and helpful, but she was sincere. It is so difficult to find a therapist who genuinely cares and actively listens to what you want to discuss. Right from the beginning, Doreen made it clear that although we set goals in the beginning of the program, it was my choice on what we discussed and how the sessions went. If I was unavailable or needed to reschedule, she was more than accommodating. She was insightful and overall kind. I've learned things about myself that I've never known before and I've been in therapy for most of my life. She is truly amazing.

I already had a very positive outlook on therapy before, but Doreen completely changed my viewpoint on the application and usage of therapy just in the short 1st month I had sessions with her, which I can't be more thankful for. Her strength based approach is one that helped me realize that certain things I do already are either underutilized or underappreciated by myself, and by focusing on them or fleshing it out, I can simply enrich my relationships and draw boundaries with valid reasons given to those around me. She is an amazing listener, extremely patient with any hiccups or schedule change requests, and truly is a gem of a person that doesn't see everything as a hammer that needs to be nailed with her solution, but rather a way of life that needs to be adjusted or understood better. Highly recommend her to anyone new in therapy or wanting to appreciate their situation and personal relationships, hope to continue using her services in the future!

Doreen gives validation to my problems and struggles. She believes in me to be hopeful, while also accepting the bad times and feeling vulnerable. She makes her clients well-rounded and works to help me see issues from different perspectives other than my own! Doreen reminds me of my strengths as a human being and I cannot thank her enough for being an active listener! The subscription is worth it!!

Doreen is extreme good at the work she does and I feel lucky to have a therapeutic relationship with her. She has the perfect blend of empathy, expertise and real world practicality that makes her easy to talk to and makes me want to consider her input more than I have with others in the past.
