Do you understand your experiences intellectually, but still find yourself reacting in ways you don’t understand? You may know where your patterns come from, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns.
I work with adults who are ready to understand not only why they feel the way they do, but also to create meaningful change in how they experience themselves, their relationships, and their lives.
My work is especially focused on trauma, attachment wounds, narcissistic and emotional abuse, sexual trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, self-worth, and major life transitions. I bring a warm, compassionate, and deeply individualized approach to therapy. I believe you should feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences without feeling judged, rushed, or pressured to “just move on.”
Together, we look at the connection between your experiences, emotions, thoughts, body, and relationships. My goal is not simply to help you cope with symptoms, but to help you develop greater self-understanding, self-trust, emotional freedom, and a stronger sense of who you are.
Are you feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by change, or weighed down by conflict in your relationships? Many of my clients come to me with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship issues, parenting stress, or the lingering effects of past trauma. Some are brand new to therapy, while others have tried it before and left feeling like they didn’t get where they hoped—maybe the fit wasn’t right, or progress stalled. They come ready to deepen insight, break old patterns, and truly level up in their personal growth.

***Trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I’ve witnessed how EMDR can help clients move from “stuck” into incredible growth.

With over 10 years of experience in mental health, I’ve worked extensively with adults, young adults, teens, and families navigating a wide range of stressors. I have also worked with youth in an in-home therapy setting and provided parenting support/education. I facilitated a community group, that ran for a few years, supporting parents and caregivers of children with special needs.
.
I have also worked with many clients with co-occurring chronic health conditions and am a Type 1 Diabetic myself, which has given me unique perspective in this area.
.
In addition to direct clinical work, I also managed a mental health program, which included mentoring and supervising therapists. I'm passionate about fostering quality care in mental health.
Maybe you’ve reached a point where you know something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure what that change looks like. You may be struggling with anxiety or stress, questioning yourself, going through a major life transition, or finding it difficult to feel confident and connected in your relationships. I work with adolescents and adults who want to better understand themselves, break patterns that no longer serve them, and feel more balanced and purposeful in their everyday lives. I believe mental health is about more than simply getting through difficult moments. It’s also about building the self-awareness and confidence to create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
Long lasting change comes from developing a deeper understanding of ourselves. It can be incredibly challenging to focus on our own emotional life and internal experience. I provide a warm, supportive space to explore and process whatever is on your mind. I have extensive experience engaging in psychotherapy with adults facing a wide range of life experiences, from managing depression, to adapting to major life changes, to facing grief after loss of a loved one.
Hi! My name is Claudine Destine; I am a Dual-Certified Family/Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 9 years of experience. I have a Master's degree in Nursing. I have experience treating Depression, Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and other mental illnesses.
Susan Goodwin is a highly qualified and experienced therapist holding licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). With a passion for helping individuals overcome mental health and substance use challenges, Susan brings a wealth of expertise to her practice.
My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.
Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.
I bring my strong passion and devotion to every therapy session. My wide variety of experiences across disciplines and populations has helped me to develop a well-rounded clinical approach to treatment. I have experience working with individuals, couples, families and populations including, but not limited to: Autism, life transitions, depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, trauma, crisis management, as well as men’s and women’s issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Wayne
Searching for therapists in Wayne starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. Therapists may support people with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.
Wayne is a smaller market, so nearby in-person appointments may vary by schedule, office location, and current availability. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New Jersey while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, focus areas, and session format in one place.
Therapy in Wayne can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and may be accepting new patients, so you can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
