Paula Schneider
I am a licensed clinical social worker who has had extensive experience working with individuals, families and couples struggling with a variety of challenges. My workplace experience involved treating both those who have struggled themselves with addictions and eating disorders, but also many of the problems that accompany them such as anxiety and depression, relationship issues, parenting issues and family of origin issues. I have also worked with those family members who struggle to understand and help their loved ones dealing with with these issues. As such, I am well-versed not only in 12-step philosophy and program, but also in other approaches including therapeutic community settings, cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapies, motivational interviewing, structural family therapy and internal family systems therapy. I've also had significant experience with individuals who struggle with the effects of having grown up in families in which their needs were not well-met, and are looking to explore their experiences and make changes that will help them to move forward in a more positive way. Often these clients struggle with anxiety and depression, relationship issues and challenges with their own parents, spouses and children. As a "mature" woman, with family and experiences of my own, I believe strongly that blame and shame are destructive, and that self-understanding, self-acceptance (of past and present experiences and emotions) and healthy relationships are the key to overcoming the challenges and obstacles we face. I work with my clients in a supportive, interactive setting and aid them in establishing their goals, guiding them as they work toward achieving those desired outcomes. I approach my clients with admiration and respect, understanding the courage required to begin working with a counselor, and the necessity to take cues from my clients as to how quickly we move forward and what areas we explore. I believe that my clients actually best know themselves and what they need. With that said, I also know that it is my job to be reflective, challenging, honest and encouraging. I appreciate the opportunity to be invited into my clients' lives and to share in their progress.
Manuela Marin
Hi! My name is Manuela and I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. I am passionate about helping individuals unpack and work through some of the things that keep them stuck in negative cycles. Sometimes it feels like you are making progress but then take a few steps back. While this is part of our growth, it can bring feelings of frustration, irritability, guilt, shame, and other emotions accompanied with the belief that things will never change or that you can’t change. This sometimes will lead to depression and just a general dissatisfaction with life. You feel like you’ve lost your spark. Let’s dig deep, and unpack the stories you are telling yourself about yourself and about others. Let’s work on getting you to a place where you can see things clearly and are able to own your emotions…not let them own you. This stuff can be so hard! Some of us live our lives carrying hurt and pain that we have never shared with another person. Or perhaps you tried to share it and were minimized or dismissed. That hurt won’t heal if you keep it all inside and never confront it. We cannot heal what remains hidden. I am also able to integrate faith in our work together if this is something you would like. When utilizing a faith-based approach, I combine psychological perspectives with wisdom found throughout Scripture only when it is relevant and appropriate to your circumstance. Reaching out for help takes so much courage and vulnerability, and it can be really scary. I want you to know that when we work together, I will do everything in my power to create a sense of safety and trust so that you feel comfortable bringing all of your "stuff" to our sessions. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. Let’s work on figuring out those hard places where you seem to get stuck and tackle those together. I look forward to working with you!

Before seeing your Glen Ridge therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process.

When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Glen Ridge therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Glen Ridge licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Glen Ridge counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
