Most people, at some point in their lives, encounter periods of difficulty, change & transition; when personal issues affect their work & relationships. Issues such as family, marital, relationship, abuse of alcohol/drugs, or a variety of mental health concerns. I believe therapy provides options for change, in a safe nonjudgemental environment, and change is the catalyst for personal growth. Through empathy, supportive listening, and a partnership of learning, I can help you to understand and overcome your emotional struggles, helping you to develop positive coping skills, achieve greater emotional stability, self-esteem and self-respect.

The rug has been pulled out beneath you; your relationship is over. The life you once had is now gone and the future so uncertain. How could this have happened? Your emotional wounds so raw and painful.. it's hard to even get out of bed. The crying spells just can’t seem to stop no matter how hard you try to get through the day. Focusing on your work or daily tasks seems impossible. Your partner who once declared their love has now caused so much pain.Your confusion and heartbreak are unbearable at times. You can't help but be stuck in thoughts of the past and fears of the future;unable to be in the present moment. Lost & alone.

My ideal client is someone who is able to utilize skills and insight gained in therapy to improve coping and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, etc. The client would be dealing with difficulty managing emotions, coping with stressful or difficult life events such as career challenges, trauma, relationship difficulties, communication challenges, loss, and illness. They would be looking for guidance and be open to learning about symptoms. Their ultimate goal would be to learn to manage emotions and to be able to adapt to new or changing circumstances in life.

Are you experiencing anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, lowered self-confidence, or just not feeling "yourself"? Or are you an individual looking to address life, relationship, or other stressors that are having an impact on your present moment experience (i.e., sport, academic, or work)? My approach is personalized tailored to an individual's needs in a warm and supportive atmosphere.

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in New Jersey. I am also a licensed school counselor as well as Student Assistance Counselor in the State of New Jersey. As a mental health professional, I have worked with clients from a variety of ethnic, cultural and social economical backgrounds. I am experienced in both individual and group counseling.

Ready for something to change, but not sure where to start? I'm here to help. My name is Aubri Kaufman and I believe therapy is a collaborative experience towards growth, healing, and self-acceptance. I'm a person-centered therapist, meaning I prioritize treating my clients with the respect and empathy they deserve as we work together to overcome challenges and meet your goals.

My approach integrates mindfulness, narrative therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, to support individuals in managing anxiety and stress in a safe and nurturing environment.

As a Licensed Associate Counselor for the State of New Jersey and National Certified Counselor, I have worked with diverse individuals and families with varying socio-economic, ethnic, religious, and marginalized communities. I enjoy working with clients to overcome stigmas associated with co-occurring disorders with mental health and substance use disorders. It is my responsibility and privilege to assist clients in developing a higher level of self-awareness and trust in themselves, others, and, just as important, their therapist.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! As a counselor, I feel it is imperative to create an environment which enables clients to truly express what their thoughts and feelings are; a person must feel comfortable in their therapeutic setting. Counseling does not need to be a fear-provoking or anxiety-inducing experience, rather it should be a place a client looks forward going to in order to become the best version of themselves possible. I enjoy using various therapeutic modalities with clients, including Cognitive Behavior, Mindfulness, Emotion Focused, Solution Focused, and Psychoanalytic Therapies, among others.

**CURRENTLY NOT ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS.** W.O.W. Counseling & Consulting, was created to assist you overcome challenges and achieve personal goals. For persons who feel stressed out by issues that are never-ending, who are coping with trauma, anxiety, depression, loss, debilitating shame, relationship issues, career challenges, or other life transitions; WOW Counseling can help you process, validate, and if necessary, reframe your experiences, as you learn new, positive behaviors, and make changes.

For the past 25 years, my life's work has been moving people into mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. I rise early to give people strategies for healthy living. When your mental, emotional and spiritual wellness is aligned, you're moving forward and reaching for what's ahead with courage and strength!

My approach to each client is based first on respect and empathy, no matter the issue. I believe strongly that the role of the therapist is not to push or insist on changes, but to use the client's own experiences and goals to formulate solutions that work specifically for the client. My techniques are based on Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which analyzes our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, in order to move us towards our goals in a measurable way.

I believe therapy can help one learn to navigate strong emotions and better regulate one's responses to life's challenges. Feeling understood and validated by one's therapist can allow one to develop insight into thoughts, feelings and behaviors. In knowing the context and meaning that underlies how we relate to the self, to others and to the world, we have greater choice in breaking free from distressing patterns that may be keeping us stuck. Over time, the therapeutic relationship becomes the vehicle that allows one to carve a personal and professional life that feels satisfying and deeply meaningful.

You have had days that make you feel like switching off the sun, crawling underneath your skin, and checking out from this catastrophic cantankerous world. You have been emotionally shipwrecked by life, fragmented by negative experiences, and you feel broken beyond repair. Yesterday was too much, today you're drowning in the sea of despair; and, tomorrow should not see the light of day. Existing feels like too much to ask, survival seems impossible, and you're thinking, "I can't do this..." Maybe you can't, but we can, and we will. You may feel alone, but you are not alone. You may sway and bend, but you will never break.

Perhaps you have difficulties with relationships, find yourself shutting down or pushing people away. Or maybe you are overwhelmed, stressed or unhappy and are looking for hope and answers. Are you experiencing questions about your faith, or perhaps you're trying to process trauma or your sexuality, gender or have loved ones who are? I am here to help you process and to bring clarity to steps you can take to move toward healthy responses and relationships. I am here to help. I hope to connect with you soon.
