Therapists in Ventnor City, NJ
Learning to live a peaceful, independent life is no easy task when your mind and emotions are out of control. You try to think through every decision, but you’re sidetracked by unsettling thoughts. Next come emotions that you don’t know how to handle.
The Ventnor City Cultural Arts Center provides art education in the Ventnor area. If the art of living well seems too difficult to learn, sadness and worry distort your worldview. You need a helper to guide you through each lesson. Talk to a counselor in the Ventnor City area to master the art of good mental health.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile! My name is Adriana and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of New Jersey. I have twenty years of experience in the field, starting right after I graduated from the University of Miami with my MS.Ed in Mental Health Counseling. I grew up in New Jersey, did my undergraduate studies at Albright College in Reading, PA, earning my BA in Psychology and Sociology. My experience began working with folks with severe and chronic mental health issues, and have been able to work with them, along with other populations since that time. Over the last twenty years, I have been part of the senior management team of behavioral health agencies, one in Miami Beach and one which is a State wide one in New Jersey and I have had the privilege to work with many different people and specialties such as anxiety, compassion fatigue, esteem issues, life transitions, depression, trauma, multicultural issues, severe and chronic mental health, co-occurring (behavioral health and addiction disorders), faith based, and homeless. I believe that the core of any effective therapy begins with a therapeutic alliance. Good relationships foster trust and openness, thus, while I may use different styles of therapy, there will always be some good, old fashioned person centered values in there. Styles that we may use include psychodynamics, cognitive behavioral and mindfulness. In reality, it will be a combination of what will work best for each individual. My main goal is to help you feel comfortable, explore some issues, process and work through them in the manner that is most suited for you. I have been able to work with people from various ethnicities, races, education, religions and socioeconomic backgrounds. I have a Christian/Roman Catholic background and can incorporate that into our work together, if you so choose. I look forward to possibly working together!

I am a licensed professional counselor with over four decades of experience in a variety of modalities, from art therapy, to group therapy, to couples counseling. Although I have worked with people of all ages, my primary concentration is now on counseling individuals ranging in age from young adults through the geriatric population. Particular areas of focus may include those experiencing relationship issues, wishing to adopt a more healthy lifestyle (including plant-based eating), suffering from compassion fatigue, and caring for someone or being diagnosed with cancer. I am sincere and engaged, and will work with you at your own pace and level of comfort in order to meet your unique needs. I have limited availability on BetterHelp, but if there is a more pressing need, I will work with you to find a mutually convenient time to schedule a session. I check messages several times a week. I look forward to our work together and I am eager to help you achieve your goals.

I am an LPC in New Jersey with 30+ years of experience. I worked at East Orange General Hospital from June 1985 - June 2014. I started as a Mobile Crisis Counselor - this means I went into the community to bring patients back to the hospital who were experience a true psychiatric crisis and evaluate the patient for psychiatric commitment. I transfer to there Outpatient Department and treated an array of patients from depression to the persistently mentally ill. While in Outpatient I helped develop and run the MICA (Mentally Ill Chemical Abuser) Program with a counselor from our addiction services. In 1995 I wrote polices and procedures for our first Partial Hospital Program and became the manager of the program. I then went on to help develop the Child and Adolescent Program. At this time I also handled the quality assurance for behavioral health and all the hospitals surveys for behavioral health. I then became Director of Behavioral Health - Inpatient, Crisis, Addiction Services, Partial Hospital Program, and Outpatient. I believe that in guiding the client through what they believe is their issues I can help them find healing so they can be there best possible selves.

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.
