Michele Frakt
I have been a psychotherapist for over 18 years and I have worked with all walks of life. I have developed programs for the elderly, young children, individuals who struggle with substance issues, sexually abused adults and children and people whom have struggled with various types of trauma. Regardless of the issue all my clients require and deserve validation and unconditional care. I am very passionate with regard to finding creative ways to help people gain the confidence needed to help themselves. My motto for life is that life is not just surviving but thriving. I have received multiple awards for humanistic beliefs and practice. My educational years were all met with high honors and scholarships. I was appointed the first ever health systems specialist designation for my work with nursing homes at the New York State Department of health as a quality of life was to me of the highest importance. I work with physical coaching, nature mindfulness training and positive affirmations for my own self-care and I share these techniques with my clients. I come from a strengths perspective and I believe in the power of self-love. No one therapeutic model works for everyone as we are all unique. I listen and collaborate with my clients in order to help them achieve their highest self. I work with reading and writing tools and I know that behavior change, although challenging, will lead to positive changes in the mind, body and soul. What life throws at us does not define us it is what we do to overcome that creates our greatest achievements. Breathingmindtherapy.com Empath's_essentials "How an Empath Becomes A Hero" Amazon.com

Maria Farraye-Biggs
Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NJ with over 25+ years of experience in a variety of settings including managing a private practice. I have worked with people from different backgrounds/ages and with a wide variety of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, women's issues, parenting issues, ADHD, acculturation/assimilation issues and life transitions. I believe that to have a successful outcome in therapy, the client and therapist must first develop rapport and trust in their relationship. This takes time; however, I will be there with you to achieve that. Just a little about me, I know what it is like to be in your chair as I myself have been in therapy and I can relate to what you may be feeling/thinking. However, I can definitely say that therapy does help. I have had to deal with my own medical issues, have dealt with the challenges of being a first generation, American born daughter of immigrant parents and have struggled with being the parent of an ADHD child. I have come to learn about myself, laugh, cry and be okay and I can help you to do the same. In my work I will use several different therapeutic modalities, depending on the issue at hand. These modalities may include psychodynamic psychotherapy, client centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoeducation and solution-focused therapy. An integrated, client strength-based approach can be used as well. I am known for being a caring, sensitive, authentic, reflective and compassionate listener. I believe in an interactive approach, and I will guide you and challenge in the therapeutic relationship. I strive to make the therapy experience genuine, respectful and safe. I believe that you are the master of your story and that you have it within you to do great things and overcome the obstacles that get in your way. I will be there with you on this journey to assist you. Seeking therapy is not an easy decision to make. I want to commend you for taking the first step for wanting a better life for yourself. If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to support and empower you to identify your goals and achieve them. I look forward to hearing from you and working with you!

Julie Schehr
I am licensed in New Jersey with 25 years of professional work experience. I am warm and engaging and I am usually able to connect with most. I would say my expertise would be helping those who are facing a life change or transition. Someone going through a break-up, graduating college, changing jobs. Also, with an extensive background working on the medical side, I am very comfortable helping those facing a medical diagnosis, or helping their loved one cope with one. I primarily treat using the CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) model, and mostly provide short term therapy with the idea that you learn new strategies and tools to manage life stressors, and you no longer need therapy. I firmly believe no two experiences are the same, so although I have talked to many people, I want to hear your story and how things impacted you. We will focus on the goals you have set for treatment. It takes courage to seek help and take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. My goal is for you to feel as comfortable as possible in speaking with me and to work as a team to meet your desired goals.
