Therapists in Perth Amboy, NJ

I am a Ph.D. psychologist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of New Jersey with over 20 years of experience helping people like you. I have extensive training in family and systems therapy. I use cognitive behavioral therapy in my work with clients. I am also a certified life coach. I start with you and your concerns and help you achieve your goals. My goal is to enhance your life and enable you to live the life you are looking for. Although I have worked with children and adolescents, I focus my efforts on adults and the stresses that come with being in adult relationships. That includes marriage and relationship issues, work/family balance, living with family members with mental illness, cross-cultural issues and adjustment, as well as depression, and anxiety. I have worked extensively with adult survivors of childhood trauma. I use a great deal of positive psychology in my work. I will listen carefully, strive to understand and adjust the sessions according to your needs and abilities. Nonetheless, I will encourage you to take steps to reach your goals and objectives. If you suffer from depression or anxiety, I will not only try to make you undepressed or non-anxious, I will work with you to find meaning, joy, and happiness. If you are confused or looking for direction, we will work to help you find the confidence you need. Engaging in therapy takes a lot of work. Change, even improvement, requires effort. My job is to guide, give direction, and support. Your job is to reflect, think, and help me know you and your situation better. Together we can work "miracles". I would love to work with you to help you meet your goals.

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!

Hi, I'm Meredith and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and teens struggling to determine who they are currently and to understand their own personal developmental process. Using a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, humor, and person-centered work, your counseling will start with building a trusting and welcoming rapport and then supporting you as you work at your own pace towards your goals. As adults and teens, we are often in positions to care for others. We help, we volunteer, we go the extra mile even if that extra mile costs us an hour less sleep. And in everything we do, there is so much pressure to be the perfect woman, the perfect employee, the perfect student, the perfect mother. For some of us, "perfect" feels more like "impossible." As a counselor, I see the struggles that so many people have on a daily basis with the idea that they need to be perfect and how it reframes their idea of self I have also seen firsthand the long term impact of being everything to everyone. I’d like to get to know you and work together to go the extra mile for you and your personal wellness and happiness. It is my hope that by working together we can challenge those thoughts of perfection, work to help you accept yourself, and learn to breathe, balance and grow. I began my private practice part-time in 2012 while also working for a local university as a professor/clinical supervisor for graduate students in a mental health counseling program and continues to work extensively with college and graduate students and the unique pressures they face. In addition, I have an extensive background as a mental health and social justice activist and recognize both the sociocultural and environmental issues that women face, particularly women of color, and do not shy away from giving that side of my clients' perspective time and support. My practice is secular and inclusive, all are welcome.

At some point in life, we all will face some challenges. What I have learned is that not everyone has the proper skills to manage problems effectively.

I use person centered therapy where I focus on the totality of the client that includes their mental, physical, emotional, relational, spiritual (if applicable), and recreational health and how they are meeting those needs. I use cognitive behavior therapy to help clients identify thinking patterns and cognitive distortions/faulty thinking errors that are impeding their progress and ways to replace those thinking errors with rational thought. I ask about family history, trauma, and if those trauma's are impeding present day life. I used shot term solution therapy where needed to help client's develop goals and strategies with their input to meet their needs. I help clients identify coping skills for problems and ways to implement those skills.
