Are you feeling more worried or anxious than normal, or are you experiencing extreme sadness that you just can't shake? Maybe you are a couple trying to figure out where to go in your relationship....
My name is Melissa and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey and a Certified Professional Coach. I received my Master's in Psychology with a concentration in Counseling and have over 12 years of post-graduate experience working with individuals, couples and families.
Counseling therapy can take many forms and I believe in using tools and approaches that fit your specific individual needs. Whether we use cognitive behavioral therapy, solutions-focused brief therapy, mindfulness interpersonal, or a number of other counseling approaches, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, confidential relationship which is the foundation of any good counseling therapy. Because no matter what tools and techniques we use, research shows that the relationship between the client and the counselor is the most important element in helping you make the changes you want and need to make. Choosing the right therapist is important for a successful outcome from counseling therapy.
There is no time like the present to start moving in the direction you want to go and I look forward to potentially working with you to help you live out a successful, well-balanced life!
