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. |
Our lead clinician, Chris Warren-Dickins LLB MA LPC, is an experienced Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with more than 13 years of experience as a psychotherapist.
Chris specializes in anxiety, depression, and trauma. Chris makes regular use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and Polyvagal Theory, and they also integrate Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). No matter the approach, a person-centered perspective is at the core of Chris' work; this means that they will work hard to understand you, placing your voice at center stage. |
