Hello! My name is Marcy King and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in northern New Jersey. I have been active in this field for the past 14 years. As a social worker, I have worked in community mental health settings, schools and private practice. I have worked with individuals with anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, those dealing with life stressors and transitions, parenting, family issues and anger management. My number one goal when working with an individual, couple or family is to ensure that all involved feel safe and comfortable in our therapeutic relationship. The relationship and connection between therapist and client make all the difference in the work that can be achieved in session.

Hi! My name is Crystal Pizarro and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Board-Certified National Certified Counselor (NCC) in NJ with 15 years of expertise. Using Christian-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (C-CBT), I love helping adults who are experiencing Anxiety, Adjustment + Transition Challenges and/or Stress. The duration of C-CBT varies among each client but typically consists of 3-5 months of weekly 45-minute sessions. In traditional Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the focus is on challenging + replacing unhelpful thoughts with more productive ones arising from the client, leading to healthier emotional & behavioral experiences. With Christian Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (C-CBT), unhelpful thoughts are replaced with truths arising from God's Word, leading to healthier emotional & behavioral experiences that align with God's Will for your life. If this approach resonates with you, I would love to speak with you further. Please feel free to message me and I would be happy to answer any questions for you :) Have a wonderful day! Warmly, Crystal V. Pizarro, MA, LPC, NCC Christian Cognitive Behavioral Counselor
