Therapists in Matawan, NJ

Lighthouse Counseling & Sand Play Training Center, LLC was conceived in 2000 in a tiny office in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey by Gretchen Morgan and Mary Pat McGeehin. Their search for effective treatment led them to include the use of Sand Play Therapy, EMDR, yoga and therapeutic group work with their clients. This was in response to the expanding body of research which illustrated that the mind-body connection was integral to the healing of mental health issues. In 2004, they expanded their practice to include like-minded affiliate clinicians and moved to a larger facility in Eatontown, New Jersey.

I believe it is necessary for a person to feel valued and understood during their counseling experience. You and I can work together to develop the skills you need to live a happy and healthy life. My approach is client centered and strengths-based, knowing the importance of being aware of and sensitive to your age, personality and stage of change. I will work with you to develop goals, empowering you to use your own life skills to manage your emotions and behaviors, and achieve your full potential.

Tired of being unhappy? Having difficulty in your relationships or watching members of your family struggle? Don't suffer from worry, depression, anxiety and uncertainty alone. You can take charge of your situation or guide your children to a better start in life. Sometimes we become overwhelmed and unsure of which direction to go. I can help you clarify your goals using different techniques and tools to help you make the small steps that lead to big progress. I foster an accepting, safe, caring, environment utilizing a variety of therapeutic methods to tailor therapy to fit your needs and situation.

Everyone needs a good counselor to process through their world. I dedicate myself in helping individuals, children and marriages improve their lives in ways that truly work. My own life struggles lead me to be a genuinely caring therapist who loves to see people set free and living their best life! Imagine better communication, thinking and freedom from strongholds that have been burdening you down? I am a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, licensed by the NCCA since 2009 in many different venues from in home crisis centered therapy, running a house for the state of NJ for adolescents and now my own private practice.

In my professional capacity as a licensed social worker and psychotherapist, I have had the honor to accompany persons of all ages and backgrounds in their quest for insight and self-discovery. I believe that trust and vulnerability are at the core of the client-therapist relationship and that the client’s innate wisdom and judgment rule supreme. With that in mind, strategies and interventions in achieving clearly defined yet dynamic goals arise through a process of critical inquiry. In this process, I have witnessed individuals redefine and recreate who they are as they move toward greater lucidity and self-fulfillment.

My approach to therapy considers that the mind and body are integral parts of a whole being. Achieving balance between these parts is an important component of the healing process and my goal is to help clients achieve this stability. Anxiety and depression can be unbearable and sometimes immobilizing; relationship problems can weaken our capacity for experiencing happiness; death, divorce and trauma can leave us hopeless and empty. My therapeutic approach strives to help client's emotional wounds heal in order to regain inner peace and improve personal growth.
