Therapists in New Jersey

*I do not offer video or phone sessions on BetterHelp - Only text-based therapy* People ask me, "When is it time to see a therapist?" I don't know anyone who can say everything in their lives is going well all the time; we all have challenges from time to time, but you don't have to go through them alone. I'm here to help you use your strengths to keep what is going right, and help you find your strengths to fix when things are going wrong. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and families. I bring warmth, empathy, and a touch of playfulness and creativity to my work. You can hear me speak more about my approach and counseling philosophy here: http://bit.ly/podcastdrjm I began specializing in family, children, and adolescent therapy ten years ago. I know parenting can be challenging, and I know that children and teens often need a different approach to therapy than adults. I earned my PhD through researching the ways in which social media impact well-being, and I use evidence based practices with all of my clients. I have advanced training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I am an active researcher in how social media impacts our well-being. I have a PhD in Mental Health Counseling, completing my degree with a dissertation about Facebook's effect on mood and affect. I believe the best counseling relationships are built on trust and mutual respect, and are collaborative in nature. Therapy should be a safe place to explore difficult topics. If you are looking for a warm, genuine, and caring therapist, working with me may be a great fit. I look forward to our work together, contact me today and let's get started!

Greetings, Its my guess that I have as much experience as any counselor alive today. Counseling is one of the most common & natural things that people do with each other. Counseling goes on almost all the time. Wherever humans are, there is counseling going on. In fact, more people need to counsel more people for a saner world. Everyday counseling is useful, but for more intricate & difficult problems, people need counseling from someone who is experienced and capable of navigating clarity out of confusion. My success in helping other is born of focus in three areas. I've taught Psychology since age 24 (until presently), I have engaged in clinical counseling since I was 30 and I have a legal background (Law School & Law Clerk) since age 33. I have been the director of several Behavioral Health & Substance Abuse clinics. I've specialized in treating sex offenders and anger management programs. I've been a devoted to Rational-Emotive Therapy (and its variations), however I long ago characterized my clinical philosophy as an Existentialist. I practice brief therapy techniques that does not waist time or money. Thank you for your consideration. Prof. Michael A. Davis, BCPC,LPC
