Let’s Connect

Thank you for your interest in Inner Strength Counseling Services, LLC.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel like a big decision. My goal is to make the process of connecting with a therapist feel straightforward, supportive, and comfortable.

Whether you’re looking for virtual therapy or are curious about Nature-Informed Therapy(NIT), I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation.

Free 15-Minute Consultation

A free 15-minute consultation is an opportunity to briefly discuss what brings you to therapy, ask questions about my services, and determine whether we may be a good fit to work together.

This is a brief consultation rather than a therapy session or clinical assessment. If we decide to move forward, we’ll discuss the next steps and which type of service may best support your needs.

Curious About Nature-Informed Therapy?

60-Minute NIT Introduction — $110

If you’re curious about Nature-Informed Therapy but would like to experience it before committing to ongoing sessions, the 60-Minute NIT Introduction offers an opportunity to learn more about this approach and experience nature-informed therapeutic practices firsthand.

This introductory experience provides space to:

  • Learn what Nature-Informed Therapy is and how it differs from traditional therapy

  • Ask questions about the NIT process

  • Experience mindfulness, sensory awareness, movement, reflection, and connection with nature

  • Explore whether Nature-Informed Therapy feels like a good fit for you

Investment: $110
Length: 60 minutes

This introductory experience is not a substitute for the required clinical Initial Assessment. If you decide to begin ongoing clinical Nature-Informed Therapy, a separate 60-minute virtual Initial Assessment is required before treatment begins.

Nature-Informed Therapy

Nature-Informed Therapy is available for adults in Middlesex County, New Jersey and surrounding areas as a self-pay service.

Nature becomes more than simply the setting for therapy. Sessions may incorporate movement, mindfulness, sensory awareness, reflection, grounding, nature-based metaphors, and meaningful connection with the natural environment to support the therapeutic process.

NIT sessions may be scheduled for 60, 90, or 120 minutes, depending on your treatment needs, goals, clinical appropriateness, and availability.

If you’re new to Nature-Informed Therapy, you may begin with the 60-Minute NIT Introduction above or schedule a free consultation to discuss whether ongoing NIT may be right for you.

Virtual Therapy

Virtual therapy is available for adults residing in New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina.

I currently accept:

  • Aetna

  • Blue Cross Blue Shield

  • Cigna

Insurance-based virtual therapy is provided through Headway. UnitedHealthcare credentialing is currently in progress.

Self-pay virtual therapy is also available for clients who prefer not to use insurance or who are out-of-network.

Accessible Self-Pay Options

I believe therapy should be as accessible as possible while maintaining sustainable, high-quality care.

Limited reduced-rate options may be available for self-pay clients in specific circumstances. Please inquire during your consultation to learn whether an access option may be available.

Access options are limited and based on availability and clinical appropriateness.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out.

A consultation is simply an opportunity to connect, ask questions, and learn more about what working together might look like.

Schedule a Free 15-Minute Consultation

Or, if you already know you’re interested in Nature-Informed Therapy, you may choose the 60-Minute NIT Introduction to experience the approach firsthand.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Supporting QTBIPOC Mental Health and Well-Being
Mental health and well-being are universal needs, but for QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals, accessing support can come with unique challenges. These communities often face compounded stigmas related to both mental health and their identities, creating a need for culturally competent and inclusive care.

To support QTBIPOC individuals, check out resources from the Human Rights Campaign: QTBIPOC Mental Health and Well-Being for helpful information. Additionally, BlackLine provides confidential support for Black, LGBTQ, and other marginalized communities. You can reach BlackLine at 1-800-604-5841 for crisis intervention, emotional support, or advocacy.
