Therapists in Rockaway, NJ
Trying to get over feeling depressed by yourself is never going to be easy. When you are feeling really low it can be so tough to get through your normal daily responsibilities. If your depression saps you of your energy and motivation, then it puts you in a difficult position. You want to be able to enjoy your life in the community to the fullest but are being held back by these nagging depression issues.
Rockaway-area counselors understand just how difficult it is to deal with depression. If you allow a qualified counselor to assist you, then you can start to heal over time. Coping with depression is easier when you have caring allies on your side. Never face depression alone when you have online counselors who will help you whenever you are in need.

Hi and welcome! I've been successfully providing therapy for over a decade. I specialize in therapy covering issues such as: anxiety depression relationships polyamory/non-monogamy/open marriages confidence gender-related issues parenting habits PTSD/trauma anger management and more. The therapy models I use, which you may have heard of, are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), attachment styles, and positive psychology. I also use principles from solutions-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I advocate for and work with the LGBTQ+ community. I am also an advocate of properly used plant medicines such as MDMA, cannabis, and psilocybin. You can expect that we will work together to address the concerns that bring you to therapy. We will look at your innate strengths (because everyone has them) as well as other tools you may want to add. On a personal note, I was born and raised in Utah. I made my way out to New Jersey in 1999, where I received my university education, started a family and have been living ever since. I've been through a divorce as well. My personal interests include vegetarianism, rock climbing, backpacking, yoga, and exploring the good eats of the area! Looking forward to meeting you and working together! Regarding my AVAILABILITY posted on this site, I have more availability than what is posted. If you would like to schedule a session, please contact me so that I can make sure we get you scheduled appropriately into a time that works best for both of us.

I believe the human connection is one of life's most powerful gifts. Meaningful relationships can propel people to do great things and be the best version of themselves, which is why I approach every counseling relationship with the utmost respect and a humble heart knowing how brave people are to allow me into their innermost thoughts and feelings. My twelve years of diverse experience in the counseling field has taught me that establishing trust, non-judgment, and open dialogue is essential to best outcomes when working in the counseling relationship. My graduate work was completed at The College of New Jersey, a CACREP accredited counseling program, with a focus in school counseling and substance use prevention, education, intervention, and referrals. My twelve years of field and professional experience include working with children and families in the school counseling setting in areas of concern such as academic, social, emotional counseling, and crisis intervention. Common counseling topics that surface for youth and families are emotional health concerns (i.e., anxiety, depression, anger management, etc.), loss and grief, self-esteem and self-image, relationship and dating issues, family conflict, substance use and abuse, college and career planning, time management and organization, post traumatic stress, and perfectionism, to name a few. My educational background, national and state certifications (National Board Certified Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, Student Assistance Coordinator, and Masters in School Counseling), and professional experience have allowed me the opportunity to also work with clients of diverse backgrounds in a private practice setting and through contracted work within my state's Children's System of Care. I intentionally work within a client-centered philosophy that encourages a variety of theoretical and practical therapeutic approaches to counseling as I genuinely believe there is "no one way" to approach every client, situation, or session. Theoretical practices that frequently guide my work with clients include Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Humanistic and Systems Theory. I have also found that displaying genuine concern and regard for the well being of those whom I work with is the most effective way to ensure positive outcomes. I would love to work with clients whose commitment toward emotional growth and health compliment my dedication and enthusiasm to support and encourage them during their personal journey.

Hello, my name is Sarah, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of New Jersey. As a therapist I aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space in which individuals can seek help in understanding issues they are facing in order to guide them towards healthy, more balanced functioning. Grounded in a respect for each person’s unique life perspective and choices, I listen closely with a goal of working collaboratively to address individual therapeutic needs. I believe that change and growth take place in the context of the authentic relationship between client and therapist, which is based upon acceptance, compassion, and care. Additionally, I believe that distress is a part of life, and rather than having the unrealistic goal of eliminating distress, I strive to help individuals tolerate, accept, and find meaning in struggle. I treat adults coping with depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, and grief using a variety of treatment approaches based on the client’s needs, to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) among others. I draw on Eastern philosophy in my practice and like to incorporate an element of psychoeducation by sharing articles, books, or other resources when applicable. I have a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. As a clinician I have provided both outpatient and inpatient treatment, worked in psychiatric emergency services, and got my start in community mental health working with seriously mentally ill adults.

Hello! My name is Ebony Yelder and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience providing counseling and psychiatric services. I have worked in a variety of settings to include, behavioral health hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, in home counseling, as well as for the Department of Defense providing counseling services for our military and their families. I am passionate about helping individuals cope with daily life challenges as well as more complex mental health concerns. I received my Bachelor’s in psychology from Penn State University and my Master’s in psychology from Argosy University. My passion for helping people was born out of working as a case worker in New York City for foster children early in my career. My therapeutic approach incorporates Client Centered, Positive Psychology and Solution Focused modalities. I believe that the single most important factor in being able to effectively support a client seeking treatment is by first establishing a strong and quality rapport. Reaching out for help can so often be scary as well as an anxiety producing. Therefore, I make sure to provide a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable addressing the issues that are important to them by instilling confidence that there will always be unconditional positive regard. Together we can take this journey and collaborate on ways to help you achieve your goals and optimal emotional health! Congratulations on taking such a big step to reach out for help and support! Well done!
