Hi, I'm Paige! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with a Master of Social Work and experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across residential, school-based, behavioral health, and community settings. I work with clients facing emotional, behavioral, and life challenges who are seeking support, stability, and meaningful change to benefit their quality of life. My approach draws on experience in individual and family therapy, crisis intervention, care coordination, treatment planning, and group facilitation.
I specialize in supporting and assisting in managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, PTSD (trauma), relationship challenges, and behavioral challenges. I use a trauma-focused, person-centered approach to meet my clients where they are at and incorporate CBT and DBT techniques to help clients build insight and coping skills. With youths/adolescents, I also love to integrate art and play into therapy.
I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, and reaching out for support is not always easy. My goal is to meet you where you are - without judgment, and create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. When you’re ready, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. Book an appointment with me to take the next step toward change.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in , NJ offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
