North Plainfield Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Lynn Benson

I work with clients across their lifespan who may have anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to a new life experience. I work with children and teens to help address self-esteem, social skills, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, or sensory processing challenges. The adults I work with might be experiencing a life-altering event, navigating their purpose in life, managing relationships, stress, dealing with a chronic illness, or struggling with parenthood.

Jillian Drummond

I work with individuals across their lifespan who struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, trauma, and racial and cultural identity. I help clients through the challenges of life, including relationships, love, or experiencing grief and loss. I want my clients to know that they are not alone, and what they are feeling is normal. There is no need to put off seeking help – we all need it from time to time.

Elana Weinstein

I'm open to a variety of client populations and issues. I like to work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Perhaps they need guidance on a particular issue, such as a change in their environment or family dynamics, or need to make peace in a relationship. No matter the reason, I'm willing to help. I understand transitions can be difficult and I'm here to guide them to a place of strength, so they can feel empowered to achieve success in their lives.

I work well with clients who have low self-esteem as I am extremely passionate about an empowerment approach with clients.

My ideal clients are adolescents, adults, families, and groups that are having difficulty managing complex emotions within their life.
