Ready to take a different path?

Online Therapy for Those Who Are Living with Trauma, Depression & Anxiety.

Alternative Path Counseling & Art Therapy provides online, trauma-informed therapy for adults throughout New Jersey, with a particular focus on women navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and major life transitions.

Therapy integrates traditional psychotherapy with creative, somatic, mindfulness-based, and art therapy approaches when helpful. You do not need to consider yourself creative or artistic to benefit from this work.

If you have often felt like you are just going through the motions of life, not finding joy in things you once did, finding yourself reacting to the world in ways that feel difficult to control, or just can’t tolerate stress any longer, there is alternative path you can take.

Let’s help you break free and choose a different path.
