Maya Angelou "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
Welcome! It takes great courage to connect with a new therapist. I welcome you to this experience. As a psychologist and a registered nurse (ret) I have helped with many forms of difficulty. In practice for over 3 decades, I have learned what works and what doesn't. I match your style and strengths with the change you desire. I have been fortunate to study with educational leaders. My experiences in medical, psychiatric and emergency settings taught me a wide range of interventions that can be helpful.
I do not treat Parkinson's Disease. It is medical condition that should be treated by a medical doctor and a physical therapist. I do not treat eating disorders unless they are in remission. I refer post partum psychosis to a specialty center as it is beyond the scope of my practice.

Hello! My name is Tajuddin Abdullah, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience providing individual therapy across partial hospitalization and residential programs, as well as within New Jersey public schools.
I enjoy working with clients of all ages, with a particular passion for supporting adolescents, teenagers, and young adults as they build self-esteem, strengthen resilience and communication skills, and set realistic, achievable goals.
I’ll take time to understand what brings you to counseling, explore your goals, and discuss any challenges you may be facing. Together, we’ll identify strategies and approaches that best fit your needs.
Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my family, taking mini vacations, competing in cornhole, and talking about my favorite Philadelphia sports teams.
With 29 years of experience in the field, I remain deeply committed to helping individuals and families impacted by the far-reaching effects of mental illness and every day life stressors. I believe meaningful change begins when clients feel safe, seen, heard and supported. I create a nurturing, emotionally safe environment and emphasizes the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for healing. Known for my nonjudgmental, compassionate approach.
My work is collaborative and individualized, integrating evidence-based practices through a trauma-informed and attachment-based lens. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, strengths-based, and relational approaches while incorporating Sandplay Therapy, expressive and play-based techniques, mind-body practices, meditation, stress management, and psychoeducation. When clinically appropriate, these methods are thoughtfully blended into a comprehensive approach that supports healing, growth, and overall wellness.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Family Studies from the University of Maryland in 1998. After returning to New Jersey, I began working in community mental health while pursuing my Master of Social Work at Rutgers University, graduating magna cum laude in 2002. I completed three years of study and specialized training in Sandplay Therapy. I went on to provide intensive in-home family and individual therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and parents in crisis. After four years of postgraduate supervision and clinical work, I earned my Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential in 2008.
I continued to provide therapeutic services through New Jersey’s Children’s System of Care and I also worked in outpatient settings, supporting children, teens, adults, and parents.

Do you feel like your brain is constantly running on overdrive?

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pennington
Searching for therapists in Pennington starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that fit your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Pennington is a smaller community, so the number of nearby in-person therapy offices may be more limited than in larger parts of New Jersey. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Pennington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person sessions when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
