Mount Ephraim, New Jersey was named after a tavern owner called Ephraim Albertson. His tavern was chosen as a stagecoach station for travelers to and from the coast. Ephraim kept fresh horses and a large stable and carriage shed. In 1855, Mount Ephraim got its first post office and in 1877, the first general store opened. By 1900, 24 trains stopped at Mount Ephraim every day. Mount Ephraim is at the crossroads of two major highways that lead to larger centers of commerce.

Michael Michnya
I specialize in building relationships and personal growth: I help parents get more cooperation and compliance from their children with less energy so that the can enjoy each other; I help couples beat the odds to stay happily married; I help all kinds of creative people overcome barriers and roadblocks to fully express their artistic vision; and I help diverse individuals and families adjust to the inevitable and often difficult transitions we all face in life. My most successful clients believe that positive change is possible, are hopeful about the future and are ready for change. They understand that true and lasting change comes from within and requires patience and persistence. They value our time together and trust our relationship enough to do the work (even when it gets hard) both in and between sessions. As long as you appreciate creativity, risk-taking and open, honest communication, attend sessions on time, do assigned homework and are willing to honestly describe what is and isn't working, then I want to work with and help you. I am dedicated to helping everyone I work with access and use their creativity to find and add the resources they need to the strengths that they have so that they can achieve their therapeutic goals as quickly as possible. When you're ready for success, then I would be honored to help you find the solutions that work and make the changes that last so that you can live your very own ‘happily ever after’! I began working with and helping people in 1980 as a preschool teacher. In 1981, while volunteering for the Child Abuse Prevention Effort, I found my second calling. From 1982 to 1986, I worked as a counselor at The Bridge (aka, The Therapeutic Center at Fox Chase), a long-term rehab for teenage substance abusers. After obtaining my master's degree in counseling psychology, I served as the primary counselor and coordinator for Cape Counseling Services Family-Adolescent Alcohol Program providing individual, group and family counseling to children, teenagers and families from 1986-1990. As a program manager at Family Service Association between 1990 and 2014, I trained and supervised over 30 in-home counselors working with families in which children were at risk of out-of-home placement (usually due to abusive or neglectful parenting, but often due to teenage non-compliance and acting out behavior), a less intensive in-home parenting education program as well as three juvenile diversion programs. Since then, while building my private practice, I have provided individual, group and family counseling at a short-term rehab for adults with addictive disease, at a for-profit community agency, and in a federally qualified health center. In my various roles as teacher, counselor, coach, program manager and clinical supervisor, I have helped thousands of people change their lives for the better. My vision is of a world full of kind, loving, compassionate people who live and work peacefully together to provide abundance for all. My purpose is to help people learn, grow and make new and better choices to improve their lives and their relationships so that they live as long, healthy, happy, loving, connected and meaningful lives as possible. My mission is to use my "signature strengths" of creativity, optimism and knowledge, and research-tested methods, to encourage and foster the personal, relational and spiritual growth and change needed to make those changes possible.

Chukwudera Arthur Egesionu
My name is Arthur Egesionu and I graduated from Liberty University, VA in 2014. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey. I have been practicing professional counseling for about eight years and have worked with clients from varying cultures, stages, and ages. My competency in multicultural counseling is evident as I connect with clients based on a clear understanding of their orientations and peculiar instances. Forming such therapeutic bond is my first goal in therapy. I have also adopted CBT, motivational interviewing and brief focused approaches in working with various population. Presently, I am completing my PhD in clinical psychology with minor in forensics from Walden University, MN and my research is related to drug and addiction recovery process. In practice, I’ve worked with clients dealing with mental health issues as well as helped in relationships, family, parenting, career, and crisis counseling. In my simple disposition, I believe in empowering clients to maximize their potential by recognizing internal strengths and using available resources in attaining goals and requisite health. And I’ve experience in helping clients develop healthy coping and adaptive skills relevant in dealing with personal, relational, and interpersonal concerns!

Alexandra Brink
The most important thing I bring to the table is my hope for my clients. You may not be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you've made a huge step by reaching out! Let's sit down and try to work this through, because I believe there is hope. My name is Alexandra (Alex) Brink. I have my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Therapy from Regent University and received my License in Professional Counseling (LPC) in 2014. I have an academic focus in Marriage and Family Studies and have worked the first half of my career with children with mood, behavior, and/or developmental disorders, and the most recent half I've specialized in treating adults with anxiety, among many other issues or concerns. I have a strong grasp of Behavior Therapy when working on parenting skills and with the children themselves. During my time with adult individuals, my style tends to be more person-centered and yet solution-focused. I'm not afraid to pull from many different counseling modalities in order to best serve your needs. A strong therapeutic relationship is needed in order to progress through the therapeutic process. To me, that means that you are comfortable with me and I really understand where you are coming from. Something that might set me apart, is I am rather holistic in my approach. This means, I'm examining your whole experience (body, mind and soul). I've found that balancing physical and mental health, as well as any spiritual concerns can really make a difference in your success. A little about me: For now I work part-time and primarily stay at home with my three children. I've been married 11 years and currently live in the Pittsburgh, PA area. I have been getting into painting lately and it's been so fun to have something just for me. I have struggled regularly with chronic illness for 15 years now. I'm no stranger to how grief, illness, and major life changes can effect a person. Strong supports in my life have helped me get through and I hope that I can be the extra support that you need now. I look forward to meeting you.

Jaime Malone
I am licensed in New Jersey with 21 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & parenting issues. I also have experience working perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Counseling is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and a healthy way to invest in yourself. I think of it as a cooperative problem solving process, where you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I strive to add additional strategies and strengths to the ones you already have, so you're able to face new (or old!) problems with a wider variety of approaches (and hopefully more confidence to do so). Counseling also helps you gain back time in the rest of your life. Have you ever been distracted from what's right in front of you because you're focused on the stressors in your life? Counseling gives you a dedicated space and time to focus on those stressors, so that you can hopefully enjoy the other important parts of your life more fully! I attended college at Johns Hopkins University (Public Health) and then completed my graduate degree at Fairleigh Dickinson University. I have worked in schools, hospitals and treatment programs, as well as private practice setting. I have been delivering counseling services online since 2020 and find it a very effective format for counseling that helps make fitting it into your life realistic! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
