Do you feel stuck? That something is missing but you're not sure what? How about that you know what's missing and it's being true to who you are? Throughout the years of experience that I have working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults I have learned that at the basis of all of our life experiences, we all wish to be heard, accepted, and to feel connected to ourselves, others, and our emotions. By being in a safe therapeutic relationship that accepts you as you are, you are able to unburden the heaviness that you've been carrying and with this new feeling of relief, there is hope for something new and healing. I base my therapy work on helping the client become "unstuck". We'll learn how to cope with the "now" using coping skills but we will also work to uncover where these difficulties may be coming from using psychodynamic, CBT, and EFT to build insight and awareness of how our past connects with our "now" and what cycles we can break to have permanent healing. So if you're ready to make that first move to uncovering and discovering your true self, come on in and take a seat in my office wherever you may feel comfortable. And let the real work begin.

Do you want to build a happier, healthier you? Does anxiety, depression, negative body image, stress, or relationship issues show up too often in your life? Do you get down on yourself and feel unsure of how to make changes in your life? These feelings and problems can be symptoms of deeper wounds that most of the time are not obvious to us. Working together in therapy, we can explore what's underneath to help you better understand yourself, your feelings, patterns and behaviors. You have the answers and strength within yourself to heal from pain and self-doubt, and change unhelpful habits or relationships that don't serve you. I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders, eating disorders and negative body image, LGBTQ issues and gender transitioning/affirmation, trauma, and grief. I work with adults, couples, teens, and parents. As a group, Empower and Thrive Counseling offers comprehensive mental health care from dedicated professionals. Making the decision to begin therapy can be a difficult but life-changing one. As with many new beginnings, there may be fear, reluctance, doubt, enthusiasm, and hope all wrapped up together. Whether you've been to counseling in the past or are completely new to it, this can be a unique and fresh beginning. Start now with a free consultation!

My name is Shelly Graziano and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor in New Jersey. I am also a wedding officiant, marrying couples in the tri-state area, while offering pre-marital guidance. In my spare time I enjoy paddle boarding and hiking with my two rescue dogs. I graciously accepted a Graduate Assistantship at Montclair State University, where I simultaneously earned my second Master’s Degree in Counseling. I earned my first Master’s Degree in Education with a focus on biological sciences from Rutgers University, while also earning my teaching certificate. I have a thirst for knowledge and am always looking to learn more. I find utilizing a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as behavioral modification techniques to be a recipe for client success. My modality of choice is a Solution-Focused approach to therapy, while engaging clients in goal-setting. I enjoy working with couples, individuals, and families as they navigate life and its many challenges. I have a deep level of empathy for each and every client I counsel, and I work to normalize feelings that often leave us feeling ostracized. All of us encounter difficult periods in our lives, and I want you to feel you are not alone in your struggles. I am here to listen, engage, and work with you towards your personal goals.
