*note: Monday 8pm is for biweekly appointments Hello! My name is Rukiya and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey. Professionally I have been working as an outpatient clinician in community mental health for the past five years and working in the field for the past 8 years. I work with adults from different communities who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, stress, identity concerns, and self-esteem. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, grounded in the belief that individuals are the experts of their own experiences. I help clients to reconnect with themselves and their communities at their own pace. Personally, I went into this field wanting to understand myself more and others around me. What came out of it was finding myself, finding community, and finding the language to name things that were happening to me and around me. I believe people are the experts of themselves and I get the honor to hold space and help connect the dots. Outside of Therapy I am a writer and a poet. I am a former peer educator. I'm passionate about creating a space where someone can find the best version of themselves because it was a gift that was given to me. Also, fan of basketball and Women's sports. To learn more about me and my approach I have website innerwebtherapy.com where I also share resources for building support, growth, and community.

Hi, I'm Marjorie, an experienced clinical social worker, licensed in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. My specialties include working with adults from varied backgrounds, identities, and cultures who suffer from symptoms of depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and/or mood disorders. There may be times in your life when you are struggling. Perhaps you are overwhelmed with anxiety or depression which is interfering with your day-to-day living and/or work. Perhaps you are experiencing unhappiness in important relationships, or you are resorting to unhealthy ways of coping such as self-isolation, disordered eating, self-harm activities, or other self-sabotaging behaviors. You may generally feel "less than," or feel as if you don't fit in, feel conflicted about your identity, feel debilitated by worry, fears or depressive symptoms, and/or may be suffering from loss of significant relationships. The "work" of therapy can offer relief from painful symptoms and conflicts while addressing your particular patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, particularly those that are holding you back from a more productive and fulfilling life. My goal is to listen and work with you to understand your unique experiences, identify patterns of underlying thoughts and feelings about yourself and others, examine how your past may have informed your present, and provide a safe space for you to explore yourself. Together we will identify those patterns that are not working for you to find strategies, personal to you, to overcome them. My therapeutic modalities include Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches and often include DBT practices such as mindfulness and guided meditation techniques.

Whether you struggle with burnout, communicating with others, loneliness, functioning at your standards, or finding joy in the day to day, I will provide a space for you to explore these barriers with interest and compassion. I am experienced with accurate diagnosis, treatment, and self-exploration of those who struggle with symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, low motivation, grief, phobias, OCD, disordered eating, over-functioning, and lack of self-awareness/ communication skills.

Hi there, I am Albert. Do you feel that specific life events have had a great impact on how you are managing and functioning daily? I am a clinician who believes that the past influences the present and future and if trauma has been a part of the human experience the impact on human functioning is even greater. It is my goal to create a safe and caring counseling atmosphere and setting so that the individual feels safe to explore the effect of trauma or any life event(s) that have impacted their life. Clients are encouraged to explore and engage in new aspects of themselves; finding new abilities which increase their positive daily functioning by increasing their living tool kit with new creative and important tools. I utilize evidence-based modalities to address the unique and specific needs of each client and I do so from a trauma-informed perspective. I provide long-term psychotherapy; I also work with clients doing short-term solution-focused therapy that is goal-specific.

Do you ever find yourself wondering, “Why am I not myself anymore?” You may look like you’re holding everything together on the outside while feeling completely different on the inside. Maybe you overthink conversations, second-guess yourself, feel anxious all the time, or live in survival mode. This can happen after unhealthy relationships, especially when there has been manipulation, control, constant criticism, or emotional invalidation. Over time, those experiences can affect how you see yourself, your decisions, and your ability to trust your own instincts. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who understands how complicated these relationships can be—because it can feel like nobody else understands the struggle. My name is Lisa Duncan, LCSW, and I do. I have a particular interest in helping people recover from emotionally unhealthy, manipulative, or abusive relationships, including experiences commonly described as narcissistic abuse. Let's figure out what *you* actually want and need. I also work with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and major life changes. My approach is empathetic, practical, and collaborative. Therapy with me is a conversation. We’ll talk about what’s happening, look for patterns, make connections, and sometimes challenge the way you’re looking at a situation. I’ll give you tools and strategies you can actually use in your everyday life. I use CBT, strengths-based, solution-focused, person-centered, and trauma-informed approaches, but I don’t believe therapy should feel like following a script. We can work on understanding why you responded the way you did, recognizing patterns that may have developed as a way of coping, rebuilding trust in yourself, and learning how to set boundaries without feeling guilty or constantly wondering if you’re doing something wrong. You don’t have to come to therapy knowing exactly what you need. You may just know that something isn’t working anymore. That’s enough to start.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and comfortable showing up as themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in authenticity. I strive to create a space where clients can be honest about the parts of themselves they may feel embarrassed, overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck with—without fear of criticism or shame.

Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware but find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or repeating cycles they want to better understand and change. My style blends practical skill-building with deeper emotional exploration. I draw from approaches including CBT, DBT, person-centered, existential, and motivational techniques to help clients increase self-awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication and boundaries, and better understand the underlying experiences shaping their current struggles. I value humor, honesty, curiosity, and creating a therapeutic relationship that feels human, not overly clinical or rigid. As a queer and affirming therapist, I’m especially passionate about creating a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ clients and anyone who has felt misunderstood, pressured to mask parts of themselves, or uncertain about where they fit. Whether you are looking for insight, coping tools, emotional support, or meaningful change, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.
