Being a parent is one of the best things in the world but when your little one starts acting up, it can be a trying experience to say the least. If your child is becoming more than a handful at home as well as school, there may be a mental health condition like attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) involved. There are many therapists in Point Pleasant who are experienced in diagnosing and treating ADHD as well as other mental disorders.
Taking your child to one of the fabulous places in town such as the Point Pleasant Beach, Riverfront Park, or Jenkinson’s Boardwalk can be overwhelming if they have ADHD. However, if you get treatment, you and your little one can enjoy these fun activities any day of the week.

I have worked with clients on grief and loss, depression and anxiety as well as substance abuse concerns. I take a warm approach with clients and use a client centered approach to therapy. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy and approach the sessions in a collaborative manner always working together with people I am working with. I respect that you took this step to seek out a listening ear and I look forward to working together with you on this journey. I was born in New York and as a young child my family moved out to Los Angeles and I have been here ever since. Growing up I was always fascinated by the field of psychology and when I was going for my Bachelors Degree I therefore choose to major in psychology. I attended Touro College Los Angeles for my Bachelors degree and then pursued my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Touro University Worldwide. When working with clients I take a warm and empathetic approach and really try to hear what the client is saying. Therapy can be very rewarding but it is often challenging to talk about the difficulties that we face. In session I strive to create a supportive and safe space where we can work together mindfully and without judgement to increase wellness. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile.

I am so glad that you are here. My name is Shoshanna Joss. I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in the state of New Jersey. It is not easy to reach out for help and then try to find the right match in a therapist. You have made a great first step! I have worked as a social worker for over 15 years. I completed my master’s degree from The University Of Michigan and my undergraduate degree from Temple University. I have done extensive work with families, couples, and young adults. Much of my experience is with grief therapy, supporting those who are experiencing transitions in their lives (a common occurrence in many of our lives), caregiver support, anxiety, depression, chronic illnesses, and trauma. I am certified as a trauma informed therapist. I am a strengths-based counselor. I believe that every one of us has the ability to grow and change. Often, we all need help realizing our true potential. I believe therapy is a partnership. I want to work on goals together that you want to achieve. Additionally, I have a certificate in Alternative and Integrative Medicine. I am able to incorporate mindfulness and meditations into our sessions. I believe that you should leave a therapy session feeling supported but challenged. We all have stories and beliefs that we have about ourselves, often challenging and confronting our stories leads to positive change. I check my emails twice daily.

Dr. Dianne Fabii
Warmest greetings and thank you for visiting! You have made the first important step in seeking solutions to current challenges in your life. It is my hope that by sharing your journey, you will emerge stronger, healthier, and more confident in handling personal difficulties. It would be my honor to support you and to help you find the resources and support you need. Our mental and emotional health is as important as our physical health. This courageous step of seeking counseling will empower you to overcome personal trials, and to achieve your best sense of self. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey, though I currently live in Florida, where I work as a school counselor. I am available a few evenings per week and on weekends to work with Better Health clients. During the summer and school holidays, I have daytime availability. With more than 20 years of extensive experience working with adults and children of all ages on a variety of issues, I have heard both heartbreaking and inspirational personal stories. The wide range of concerns of my clients include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, loss and extended bereavement, trauma, career development, parenting challenges, children of divorce, executive functioning skills, and self-esteem. I draw from a variety of theories and holistic approaches to inform my practice, and to help you achieve your wellness goals. Additionally, I have helped hundreds of clients with job search strategies and finding fulfilling employment. A unique aspect of my background is that I have spent extensive time in southern India, and am well-versed in Indian culture, especially as it relates to marriage and family relationships. My doctoral dissertation focused on arranged marriage practices among Indian-American families and how young adults are driving change in this tradition. Therefore, I am quite comfortable in working with clients of this cultural background. One of the most important factors in creating change is establishing and maintaining mutual trust in the therapeutic relationship. This partnership requires honesty, respect, empathy, compassion, communication, and commitment to do the work of increasing self-awareness, practicing self-care, and growing in understanding to achieve potential. I very much look forward to working with you to help you find your path toward your best life, filled with joy, meaning and satisfaction.
