Haddonfield Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Dayna Sharp

I have helped many people to relieve their symptoms of acute--recent--trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (six months after a traumatic event), and have also developed a speciality in treating adults struggling with complex trauma. When someone suffers with complex trauma, they have often suffered multiple traumas, some of them during childhood.

Stephanie Sanger

Melissa Wetherington

Throughout my years of being a therapist, I have learned that having trust & rapport with my clients has been extremely important in their progress. I believe it's essential. My practice is a place of healing, transformation, and empowerment. I will provide you a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental place where we can explore your struggles. We will make goals that are tailored to your needs. This way we can both measure your progress. I will use therapy techniques that are effective. Some common ones that I use are- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). You will be able to practice the skills you learned to help you build your self-confidence. I am passionate about my work and am constantly working on developing my counseling skills. I participate in trainings on a regular basis. I am working on becoming a Nutritional Integrative Provider (CMHIMP) because I believe that a holistic-based approach is needed in order to truly help people.

Sidney Cohen

Combination of 39 years of experience in the mental health field, plus ongoing continuing education in the diagnosis and treatment of PTSD. I am particularly an advocate of reframing PTSD along the lines of what highly-acclaimed trauma researcher and author Dr. Peter Levine has characterized as Post-Traumatic Stress INJURY. Finally, I acknowledge that during my earlier adult years, I was treated for my own personal challenge with PTSD.

Brian Finnerty

I believe the single most important factor in therapy is the relationship between a person and their counselor. I am passionate about human relationships and sexuality. I take pride in my openness and ability to see the world from your perspective. My experience working in human sexuality has helped me develop a nonjudgmental, person-centered approach. I treat people, not symptoms or behaviors. I approach counseling from a cognitive behavioral perspective. I believe that by learning more about how we think and feel we can learn to influence our behaviors and connections with others for the better. My approach is collaborative and holistic. I offer online counseling throughout NJ and PA. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I have worked in mental health for a decade in roles ranging from case manager to counselor to program director. I graduated from Drew University with my BA in Psychology and John Jay College with my MA in Mental Health Counseling.

We believe that parenting is one of the most important jobs on earth. We understand that financial or work pressures, marital tension, family dynamics, the frenzied pace of the modern world and the new challenges brought by the pandemic and cultural shifts make parenting even more challenging. We are here to help.

I am a certifies EMDR therapist and use EMDR lens ( to learn more about EMDR go to https://www.emdr.com/what-is-emdr/) and use other modalities when needed. I work with clients on the somatic level helping connect what our brains "knows" and how our body "feels" so they are in sync.

Jennifer Gomez

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children, teens, and young adults in therapeutic settings like residential programs and behavioral schools, as well as public schools. In specialized work with trauma survivors suffering from anxiety and depression, I have advanced training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Depending on your needs and your goals, I use a combination of techniques including TF-CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Coaching. As your therapist, I'm part of your team that wants you to succeed. I help you do that through teaching you strategies to feel more in control of your emotions and problems you're facing so that you're able to focus on achieving your goals and living your best journey.

Kirsten Lyons

Traumatic experiences (big and small) can impact how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us for years or even decades. The aftermath of trauma looks different for everyone, but many of my clients report ongoing experiences of depression, anxiety, anger, poor sleep, and troubled relationships. But there is hope: If we work together, I'll utilize various mind-body approaches to help you feel safe again, move through your trauma, and grow in the direction of your goals.

Adrienne Hermes

I offer a variety of evidence based practices (EBP) to assist you with managing symptoms and overcoming the past experiences which have an impact on you today. The EBP that we use will be agreed upon mutually. Not ever modality will fit your goals or needs in therapy. Some examples of models I use are Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experience, Trauma Sensitive Yoga Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and narrative therapy.

Lauran Terragrossa

I use an eclectic combination of, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, somatic techniques, mindfulness based stress reduction, mind body connections, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Together we can explore your behaviors and gain a better understanding of their purpose and come up with realistic changes to help you live your best life.

Amanda White

Melanie Greenberg

I graduated from Widener University with a dual master's degree in social work and education in human sexuality. My approach is eclectic but I prefer to join the client and meet them where they are in an empathetic way. I am trained in trauma-focused CBT and internal family systems, but like to allow the client to take a narrative stance and tell their story from their perspective. I believe connecting the mind and body is important to create a whole and healthy self through mindfulness and somatic therapy. This means we take you as a whole and try to reconnect ourselves with parts of our body that might bring challenges through different techniques that can include movement, breathing, yoga, tapping, art, and music. I believe the most important piece in therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. Without the relationship and trust, everything is just words from a book.

Margaret Fromuth

I implement systemic theory focusing not only on the individual but the relational and intersectional influences of each client. I focus on meeting the client where they're at and building upon the strengths each person has within them. I like to provide a space for clients to feel heard and will utilize many philosophical and theoretical frameworks for each clients' needs as they work on their self-journey.

Aleisa Myles

If you have been through unspeakable horrors, or if you are carrying the reverberations of a history that still lives on in you today, I know it can be hard to find any hope at all. It can be a long way, from silence and shame to trust and connectedness; from disempowerment to bold resistance and advocacy; and most importantly, from shatteredness and self-alienation to a reclamation of life and love. I have over 10 years of experience working with survivors of severe and cumulative trauma.

Lindsey King

I have experience working with individuals and families in a variety of ways. I enjoy working with people who are experiencing family conflict, co-parenting struggles, depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD symptoms, relationship issues and many more. I have worked in an intense family based program, college counseling center, and foster care system. I work from a systemic lens with a relational framework to help ease the stress that you are experiencing through the many challenges in life. By using a strengths based approach I will help you build a foundation to a happier and healthier life. I offer a variety of scheduling options to meet twice a week, once a week, every other week, or once a month. I hope to partner with you along your journey to become the best you can be.
