Explore Transform LLC offers a tailor-made counseling and psychotherapy service in New Jersey. Since the pandemic, we have operated fully online via a confidential video portal (teletherapy). To offer you an exceptional level of service, we have chosen to remain out of network. We are committed to adopting an inclusive, person-centered approach to our psychotherapy and counseling service. We also recognize our privilege (and inevitable bias) and how this might influence our worldview. We are invested in continuously working to address this privilege and bias. We work with adults and teenagers. |
