I pull from my personal, spiritual and clinical experience. I have extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for 20 years. Also, trained in family systems therapy with a focus on immigrant, relational and transitional difficulties.

Arya Therapy Center of New Jersey offers structured, compassionate mental health treatment designed to meet you where you are and help you move toward meaningful change.
I am a clinical and health psychologist with a background in mind-body-spirit approaches to wellness, and over a decade's worth of experience counseling university students. My practice is focused around supporting BIPOC students in thriving through the unique demands and challenges they face on their journey through academia. I endeavor to co-create with my clients a space that feels warm, safe, grounded and connected, and that allows for open, honest, and focused collaboration. My approach is holistic and integrative, it centers the unique experiences, perspectives and goals of each client, and it is increasingly informed by liberation psychology and decolonizing perspectives. I am currently offering both short-term (i.e., approx. 6-12 months) and longer term psychotherapy around the following issues: -anxiety -insomnia -adjustment to school -time management/organization -stress management -grief/bereavement -chronic pain management -adjustment to chronic physical illness/disability -excoriation/trichotillomania disorders -creating dietary and/or physical activity changes that are sustainable, nourishing and balanced -tobacco cessation -death anxiety -boundary setting -engaging in radical self-care/nourishment/healing while negotiating academic demands -soothing and toning the nervous system to cultivate resilience in the face of stressors and trauma -exploring and clarifying core values (especially, but not exclusively, spiritual/religious-based values) -showing up to life in greater alignment with core values -challenging internalized "impostor syndrome" -creating a deeper, more present and attuned connection with the body and its wisdom -exploring and unpacking the holistic impact of colonization on the Self, and identifying concrete ways to holistically disrupt and divest from harmful systems and cultivate empowerment
Each staff member in the practice has immense experience in different struggles. We are able to find a therapist that will fit most needs and it is all done through Teletherapy. We can see any individual that is a resident of NJ and struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, adjusting, co-occurring, and substance abuse. We understand the stress of college and the transition period mixed with the struggle of daily life can be overwhelming and would love to be a support for you. Our goal is to help you create happy memories that you can look back one day as well as reach your goals.

Finally deciding to seek out therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming and even increase uncomfortable feelings. Finding the "right fit" with a therapist may mean having that momentary discomfort of making that first phone call... but you are worth it when it means finally getting the support you deserve. I am open to chatting or emailing to find out if I am the right fit for you or if I can help you find someone who is. Don't be afraid to ask questions. (You can also find me on Facebook at Castle Counseling, LLC and on Instagram @castle_counseling_ to get a little sense of who I am ). My practice is women-centered with a holistic and integrative focus on helping you process traumatic or challenging life experiences. I hold an advanced certification in complex trauma. I use evidence based practices with a focus on compassion-focused, somatic-based interventions. I work to create a safe, connected and nurturing space where you can feel grounded in healing. My work is highly individualized based on your unique needs. I will always treat a you as a person and not a "diagnosis". In working with difficult emotions my goal is always to instill hope and provide education about regulating the nervous system and restoring a sense of safety. Using a combination of both cognitive (talk) and somatic (body) based strategies we will work together to discover your unique pathway to healing. We will strive to cultivate peace and joy in your daily life and to give you real life tools to use outside of the therapy office. I know, first hand, that recovery and healing can feel difficult, but it is not impossible! As a women's centered practice, we will work together to help safely connect body, mind and spirit through an active understanding of how the body stores emotion, holds experiences and is very often the key to healing. My goal is to offer you a truly safe space where genuine personal growth and relief from suffering can occur. Please feel free to call, reach out and ask me any questions...I am open to just talking with you and helping you find the right path on your healing journey.
Crossing Wellness is a group practice in Pennington, NJ. We offer both in-person and virtual counseling. Please see our website for descriptions of each therapist. As both a college professor (at TCNJ) and a private practice clinician, I am keenly aware of the challenges and stressors of college students as well as the opportunity for growth and wellness. As an EMDR therapist I specialize in treating trauma, but I am also a lifelong substance use counselor as well. Not everyone who has a problem with substance use needs to be abstinent from all use, I work with people to reduce the harmful consequences and return to recreational use.
My name is Laura Shaffner, and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and counselor. My counseling style is warm and intuitive. I especially enjoy working with people around life changes, self-esteem work, anxiety, and relationship issues. I use the framework of holistic psychology primarily in my work, along with incorporating other frameworks that may best suit you. This may include cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, or psycho-dynamic counseling, along with yoga and mindfulness techniques as modalities for self-care. Holistic psychology believes that healing is a conscious process that can be lived daily through changes in our habits and patterns. The practice of holistic psychology is rooted in the ideas of freedom, choice, and ultimately, self-empowerment. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Please know that a counseling session with me is always a supportive, safe space to talk about anything that is on your mind. Oftentimes, we seek counseling to get through a difficult experience, manage overwhelming emotions, or improve relationships. While counseling is effective in helping one get through isolated challenges, the goal of counseling is to help identify patterns of ideas, emotions, and behaviors that may contribute to repetitive maladaptive experiences. Our current experiences are often shaped by past experiences. It is common to get stuck in ways that make it difficult to move past a particular state of being. It is important to recognize that counseling is a collaborative effort. The true work of counseling often occurs between sessions in self-reflection, self-awareness, and a commitment to self-improvement. It takes courage to seek for you to reach out and seek help. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to be your sounding board and help you with whatever concerns you are facing today. I very much look forward to working with you!
Sometimes along our journeys we learn ways of thinking and feeling that aren’t most helpful to us later on. I offer an opportunity to consider unlearning what isn’t serving us and to find new ways of thinking. Other times, we’d all just benefit from an extra layer of support; time set aside that’s all ours. Most of all, the work we do will allow you to feel some relief, comfort, connection, the opportunity to experience positive feelings, and sit with the hard ones. I offer therapy to adults struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, obsessive thoughts, trauma, grief, career challenges, and motherhood. I specialize in treating disordered eating and body image concerns. I work extensively with runners. I practice a holistic approach and am skilled in meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and coping techniques. I understand that the best therapy happens when you and your therapist are a great fit. I offer a compassionate, thoughtful, and effective approach. I believe in the healing power of animals and my bulldog, Olive, joins us for sessions.

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. The core foundation of my work with clients is establishing a warm and empathic space that allows them to express, explore and understand their struggles which have resulted from a unique mix of internal and external dynamics. I believe in working in a collaborative and flexible framework, drawing from various theoretical orientations and perspectives on mental health and suffering. I have worked extensively with clients dealing with depression, anxiety and other clinical diagnoses. I also have experience working with issues related to life transitions, grief and loss, trauma/abuse and difficulties in relationships including family conflict. I am deeply interested in struggles stemming from identity and identity intersectionality related issues around sexual orientation, gender identity, SES, race and more.
