Hi, I'm Jen. I'm a clinical social worker who has worked with children, adolescents and parents for twenty years. My goal in each session is to make my patients feel comfortable and identify their feelings. Each session begins with an emotional check-in and an update of what has happened in life since the last session. From there, together we can determine what the specific goal of the session will be, or continue to expand on skills and strategies introduced earlier. I believe in the need to be flexible depending on what the needs are in the moment of the patient. I craft a judgment free zone to help people be their best self.

Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Delmar. What continues to amaze me as a therapist is how resilient people are. I've worked with people going through traumatic experiences and I've seen them go on to live meaningful, fulfilling lives. I strongly believe people can overcome the immense obstacles life throws their way. I have a particular interest in working with younger men (20's and 30's), as they face unique challenges and historically have been less likely to seek help.

I offer support and guidance to children, adolescents, families and individual adults utilizing my training and experience with family-systems and cognitive-behavioral therapies. My clinical orientation is person-centered, meaning, I am guided by genuine positive regard for my clients and a firm belief that my clients are capable of improving their quality of life. I have a reputation for warmth, compassion and good humor among the many individuals and families with whom I have worked.

While it is true that most of us are products of our environment, histories, and current circumstances, we need not be forever defined or limited by them. But how do we move from merely surviving each day to thriving for the long term? Transforming relationships with family, friends, community, society, and most importantly, ourselves, can help us navigate there. If daily life seems overwhelming, unfulfilling, hopeless, or restrictive, my practice can help you clarify your values and needs, expand your coping skillset, create or deepen your connections, and build a meaningful future for your corner of the world.

My approach with my clients is collaborative, interactive, and respectful. I am an eclectic therapist because trauma affects each individual differently. I view the client as the expert on his/her journey and myself as a consultant or guide. I focus on releasing the shame and pain of the trauma/abuse using tools and approaches with which the client is most comfortable. Together we create as safe a space as possible so that this work may occur. I am a strong believer in skill building, empowerment and visibility as antidotes to shame, secrecy and victimization.

Are you experiencing frequent conflicts and arguments about the same things, but nothing ever seems to get resolved? Do you feel the harder you try to make things better, the worse it seems to get? When people feel they are underappreciated, misunderstood, or blamed for things that don't feel are their fault, people stop listening and can become stuck pointing fingers and assigning blame. No one is changing behaviors or focused on solutions. All you know is you feel stuck, scared and realize that your family relationships are in trouble and need help.

My clients often struggle with relationship issues stemming from early childhood trauma; this results in coping mechanisms that work, but may carry a big price tag. They may grapple with sexual abuse, partner violence, sexual orientation and/ or disability related issues. Often, these manifest as substance abuse, cutting, communication problems or self- isolating behaviors. They may have friends and family members who do not truly "see" them, and as a result their own view of self is dim. Other clients are coping with situational anxiety and depression related to Covid, and need to establish safety, structure and hope.
