Hi, my name is Phyllis. I am licensed in New Jersey and have over 15 years of working with people in different capacities, including social work and as a therapist. I have a graduate degree in Human Services with a Specialization in Marital, Couple, and Family Therapy. I tend to view people and their concerns in relation to their relationships with others. I enjoy helping clients find their voice and learn skills they can use to get their needs met. My approach to therapy is individualistic, positive, and strengths-based. I use a tailored approach to therapy for each client’s individual needs. I know it can be scary to be vulnerable with a therapist and will do my best to ensure you feel safe while working toward your goals at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I use a mix of person-centered, solution-focused, and narrative therapy. I enjoy helping clients feeling empowered to make changes in their lives. I enjoy watching clients feel strong enough to set boundaries in their relationships and change behaviors that no longer serve them. I like sparking curiosity and hope abut the future. My ultimate goal is to create an atmosphere that allows for free expression so you can feel empowered to live your best life. Please be advised I cannot hold sessions in a moving vehicle. Please join session once you are parked if you are driving. Specialties: *Grief *Anger Management *Women’s concerns *Family Dynamics *Relationships *LGBT community

Hello and Welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Jocelyn and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from The College of Saint Elizabeth (currently known as Saint Elizabeth University) . I have been licensed for over 16 years. This degree has enabled me to learn many skills and techniques to help you with the concerns that you choose to work on. I worked in a domestic violence safe house for over twelve years and have learned about the commonalities and differences in relationships, and how the lack of communication, empowerment, self-esteem, and co-dependency can affect relationships and how these can affect us as we go through our daily lives. It is not only romantic relationships that need our attention; our relationships with family, friends, and co-workers often need attention. As an LPC , I use Client-Centered Therapy as my main mode of therapy which means that I will listen to your concerns and we will work together to come up with a plan for your particular concerns. I am an empathic listener, and my main goal is to learn who you are as a person as soon as possible because the better I get to know you, the more easily and quickly we can begin our work together. As a counselor , it is my intention to assist my clients in changing their lives for the better, and to move their lives and relationships in a positive direction. My goal is to collaborate with you to help you find your best self and to help you find your individuality. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral therapy as needed, and I also use Motivational Interviewing when appropriate. Making the decision to seek counseling is very difficult. I commend you for taking this first step! I look forward to working with you!

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am Susan Shafer, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor for the state of North Carolina, 500hr Certified Yoga Instructor and Certified Practitioner for Emotional Freedom Techniques, also known as tapping. I hold a Masters Degree in Community Counseling from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte and have been providing therapy for almost 15 years. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in a variety of settings. My areas of specialty include working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, ADHD and trauma related hardships. I invite you to check out my website : shafer.services My counseling approach is eclectic and I use approaches that integrates effective wellness practices with traditional psychotherapy including CBT, Mindfulness and Emotional Freedom Techniques. I believe in creating a space that allows clients to express themselves openly and without judgement. My work focuses on helping clients to connect to their inner strengths and increase their awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. At times, I combine yoga practices and psycho-educational techniques that allow clients to experience the power to connect the body and mind through breath and movement. Another form of treatment I highly encourage clients to consider is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also referred to as 'tapping', which is a scientifically researched method of using self-applied acupressure to reduce stress, shift negative emotions, change unwanted behaviors and work to resolve with trauma memories. I have been trained in these techniques and completed mentorship to become an Accredited, Certified EFT Practitioner through EFTi. It takes courage and trust to begin counseling and I appreciate your willingness to allow me to be a part of this journey. Together, we will identify your goals and skills to help you overcome the challenges you are experiencing or have experienced. One of my greatest joys as a therapist is to witness individuals resolve issues and gravitate toward a life fulfilled with inner peace and joy. When you are ready to begin, I am here to walk the next steps with you!
