Finding the right therapist is almost as important as the therapy itself.

ELIZABETH MCKERNAN, MFT,LPC
Owner/Therapist
My goal is to empower clients to overcome personal life challenges and improve their overall well being by using evidence based treatments that best fit the individual and/or couple.
I am a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor and have been practicing for 27 years as a therapist. I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University and my Bachelors in Psychology from Temple University. I have extensive training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My clinical style is more eclectic in that I draw from a number of clinical modalities to meet the individual’s specific treatment needs. I am client centered and my therapeutic approach is to offer a safe, nurturing and supportive environment.
I specialize in treating individuals with a history of Trauma, including, but not limited to, Abuse (sexual, physical, emotional), Victims/Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Divorce, Relationship Concerns, Life Transitions, College Adjustment, Social Anxiety. Grief and Warriors of Cancer/Families of Warriors with Cancer.
I look forward to working with you and being a part of your journey as we work together to achieve your goals to live your best life.
