SERVICES
Therapy that’s practical, direct, and built for real life.
You don’t need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before you get here.
Maybe you know something from the past is still affecting you. Maybe work has taken over your life. Maybe you’re anxious, burned out, or going through a change that’s thrown you off more than you expected.
Trauma + EMDR Therapy
When something is over, but your brain and body haven’t gotten the memo.
Trauma doesn’t always look dramatic from the outside. You can be working, showing up, getting things done- and still feel on edge, disconnected, irritable, stuck, or like part of you is constantly bracing for something.
Therapy can help you understand what your system is responding to and actually work through it rather than just getting better at pushing it down.
Depending on what you need, we may incorporate EMDR therapy alongside other evidence-based approaches.
This may include:
Trauma + PTSD
Cumulative trauma
Distressing experiences
Hypervigilance
Emotional reactivity
Avoidance
Feeling disconnected or stuck
First Responder, Veteran + Healthcare Professional Therapy
You shouldn’t have to explain the job before you can talk about what it’s doing to you.
Some careers expose you to things most people don’t regularly see, ask you to function under enormous pressure, and then expect you to go home and carry on like it was a normal Tuesday.
I work with first responders, veterans, healthcare professionals, and others in high-stress careers who want a place to talk honestly about the impact of the work without being judged, sensationalized, or spending half the session explaining the culture.
We can work on the things happening on the job- and the ways they follow you home.
This may include:
Critical incidents
Cumulative exposure
Burnout
Anxiety
Trauma
Substance use
Relationships
Sleep
Anger + irritability
Difficulty switching off
Work Stress, Burnout + Peak Performance
Being good at what you do doesn’t mean it isn’t costing you something.
Maybe you’re successful on paper but completely depleted behind the scenes. Maybe you’ve gotten very good at functioning under pressure and very bad at knowing when you’ve hit your limit.
Therapy isn’t about making you less ambitious or telling you to solve burnout with a bubble bath.
We’ll look at what’s actually driving the stress, what isn’t sustainable, and what needs to change so you can keep performing without constantly running on empty.
This may include:
Burnout
Work stress
Perfectionism
High-pressure careers
Boundaries
Performance concerns
Career changes
Difficulty disconnecting from work
Anxiety, Depression + Life Transitions
Sometimes life is just… a lot.
Not everything fits neatly into one diagnosis or traces back to one major event.
You might be overthinking everything. Feeling flat or disconnected. Struggling in a relationship. Going through a career change. Questioning decisions you normally would’ve made without thinking twice. Or simply realizing that the way you’ve been handling things isn’t working anymore.
You don’t have to wait until things are falling apart to get support.
This may include:
Anxiety
Depression
Relationships
Career changes
Major life transitions
Substance use
Self-esteem
Stress
Feeling stuck
HOW THERAPY WITH ME WORKS
Direct, collaborative, and focused on what actually helps.
I’m not going to sit silently and make you do all the work.
Therapy with me is active and collaborative. I’ll listen, ask questions, point out patterns, challenge you when it’s useful, and help you figure out what to do with what we’re uncovering.
Depending on what brings you in, I may use approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), solution-focused therapy, and other evidence-based strategies.
You don’t need to know what any of those mean before you start. That part is my job.
INVESTMENT + INSURANCE
Let’s get the practical stuff out of the way.
Wakened Potential Counseling is in-network with Aetna, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Meritain Health, and Humana.
If you’re using insurance, your cost per session will depend on your individual plan, deductible, copay, and benefits.
Prefer not to use insurance? Private pay sessions are $120 per session.
Not sure what your plan covers? That’s okay. We can sort through the logistics before you get started.
ONLINE THERAPY IN NEW JERSEY + FLORIDA
Therapy that fits into your actual life.
Sessions are offered virtually for adults located throughout New Jersey and Florida, so you can meet from home, your office, or another private space without adding another commute to your week.
You don’t have to have it all figured out before you reach out.
Maybe you know exactly what you want help with.
Maybe you can’t quite put your finger on what’s wrong- you just know something needs to change.
Either one is enough of a place to start.
