Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Metuchen, NJ covered by United Healthcare

Hi! My name is Tabitha and I have been a therapist for over 6 years. I have spent the majority of my career working with children and families.

I work with clients who are in need of someone who is caring, professional, and who is willing to provide guidance without placing blame or judgement. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach where I help clients modify their thinking to have positive effects with their emotions and behaviors. I take into consideration the whole person including psychological, spiritual,physical, emotional,behavioral. I treat all clients with respect and help them find more appropriate and positive ways to handle life stressors and issues.

I obtained my Master’s Degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and am trained in Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I am a licensed professional counselor and licensed in drugs and alcohol.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important. I will work with you in finding healthy ways to live a more fulfilled life.

Are you struggling with navigating anxiety, depression, a major life crisis that has you isolated, feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or fearful of the world around you. Did you know that beyond the fear is freedom? What does that freedom look like for you? Let's figure it out together! The process of therapy can help you develop the tools and insight needed to take control and make positive changes in your life and/or relationships. I believe that a genuine connection between a therapist and a client is a key component of the therapeutic process.

It is my hope to provide you with a space where you will feel safe and connected. No matter why you seek therapy, my role as your provider can assist you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. Working together we can identify your unique strengths, explore patterns of behavior that limit your growth, and help you establish and attain goals.

Hello, I am glad you are here. Taking the first step towards your mental health is a big step, and I want you to know that you will be welcome with kindness, understanding, and zero judgment.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a unique background. Before becoming a provider, I spent 9 years as a registered nurse working closely with people experiencing mental health challenges. That experience taught me the importance of listening, understanding each person’s story, and treating the whole person not just the diagnosis. I earned my degree from Walden University and provide care for adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and involved in your care.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, as well as a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I graduated with my Master's of Social Work from Monmouth University in 2018, with a concentration in Clinical Practice with Families and Children. I have multiple years of clinical experience in working with individuals in multiple populations and environments, with the goal of becoming the best versions of themselves.

"Be the change you want to see in the world" quote by Ghandi stands out to me when I think about how I want to make an impact in other's lives. Life can be stressful and challenging at times and sometimes speaking to someone who is non judgmental in a safe space is a great outlet. I am a bilingual (english/spanish) therapist and have 10 plus years of experience working with children as young as 3 to older adults. I am determined to helping and supporting you in finding what will help you best in reaching you goals. Finding the right therapeutic relationship and connection is important in your treatment. I am interested in getting to know you better and helping in your personal growth.

When I was growing up, I always thought I wasn’t dealt a good hand in life. I had family issues that would top any reality tv show to date. I often felt like there was no one I could really open up to and share my inner thoughts and feelings with. I was wearing “masks” before the pandemic, always smiling when deep down I wanted to cry. I tried therapy a couple times and it just didn’t work for me. I felt like I wasn’t understood, that I was being judged. I decided to give it another shot and found my match, a therapist that looked like me, that could relate to me and my struggle. It felt genuine and not forced. That’s what made me want to get into the field of Social Work. Now, with 8 years of professional experience, I live out my purpose every day as a guide to help people unlock the tools of empowerment that they already possess. Whatever the issue, (whether it be getting through everyday life, coming to terms with past traumas, getting over a bad break-up, parenting/abandonment issues, lack of self-esteem, or a host of other problems), my eclectic approach to therapy will allow you to embark on a journey of self-reflection, self-love, and self-care. I look forward to helping you find your inner peace while getting closer to your winning hand in life.
