Welcome! I’m Simone, a Licensed Clinical therapist at Key to Change Counseling Services, Corp., a Christian-based group practice dedicated to compassionate, culturally sensitive, and clinically excellent care. I deeply honor and respect the foundation of our practice and approach each client with the kindness, grace, and empathy that align with those values. I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive space where clients of all backgrounds and belief systems feel truly seen and supported.

I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, negative self-image, identity-related concerns, trauma, and major life transitions. My approach is rooted in warmth, authenticity, and—most importantly—kindness. I believe kindness is the foundation of effective therapy. When clients feel safe, cared for, and free of judgment, true healing can begin. My goal is to meet each client with compassion and patience, creating space for growth at their own pace.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Monmouth University and am a Trauma-Informed clinician with a broad range of experience, including crisis intervention, behavioral therapy, and hospital case management. These experiences have helped me develop a flexible and responsive therapeutic style that centers the individual needs and lived experiences of my clients. I also bring a strong commitment to cultural humility, ensuring that therapy is always a collaborative and respectful process.

In session, I often incorporate creativity and holistic practices such as art, nature-based reflection, and mindfulness to help clients express themselves in ways that feel authentic and empowering. My goal is not only to help clients develop effective coping strategies but also to uncover and heal the deeper roots of their challenges so they can experience lasting transformation.

Clients working with me can expect a space that is kind, open, and encouraging. We will explore your story together with curiosity, care, and respect. Whether you’re navigating a difficult season, processing past pain, or simply seeking a deeper connection to yourself and others, I am here to support you.

Therapy with me is about honoring who you are, building on your strengths, and helping you move toward a life that feels grounded, peaceful, and full of purpose.

Welcome! My name is Becky, and I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) at Key to Change Counseling Services. I am so glad you’re here! I strive to provide a calm, compassionate, and supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore emotions, strengthen relationships, and develop balance in the midst of life’s demands. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation of our work together as we move toward healing and growth.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Monmouth University and bring over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults, as well as their caregivers and families. My background includes working in transitional living programs and care management, supporting families facing crises and co-occurring challenges such as mental health, developmental needs, and substance use. Those I have worked with often describe me as patient, understanding, and deeply attentive—a therapist who truly listens.

In my clinical work, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and a strengths-based, motivational interviewing approach. My goal is to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, work-life balance, and major life transitions with both empathy and practical strategies.

As a Christian counselor, my faith and the work of the Holy Spirit within me guide my practice. I offer a therapeutic approach that is clinically sound and biblically grounded for those who wish to integrate their Christian faith into the counseling process.

My hope for you is that through our work together, you will rediscover peace, cultivate hope, and recognize that light always exists—even in the darkest moments. It would be my honor to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and wholeness.

Welcome! I’m Natalie, a Licensed Clinical therapist at Key to Change Counseling Services, Corp., where compassion, faith, and evidence-based care come together to support your healing journey.

I specialize in creating a warm and supportive space for clients to process life’s challenges and rediscover their strengths. As a therapist, my goal is to help you navigate difficult seasons, find clarity in the midst of emotional overwhelm, and walk with confidence toward the life you desire.

Before entering the field of social work, I worked as an educator—an experience that shaped my belief that every person has a unique story, and that understanding these stories with empathy and care can be life-changing. This deep compassion for others led me to pursue a Master’s in Social Work from Widener University, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. Since then, I’ve had the honor of supporting clients dealing with grief, chronic illness, relational challenges, and major life transitions, while continuing my passion for youth development as a middle school counselor.

At Key to Change, a Christian-based group counseling practice, I offer a therapeutic approach that is both clinical and faith-rooted. For clients seeking Christian counseling, I integrate biblical principles and prayer into the therapeutic process. For those who prefer a traditional approach, I tailor care that is client-centered, inclusive, and nonjudgmental.

My approach is integrative and responsive—I draw from a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Guided Meditation. I believe in equipping clients with practical tools for emotional regulation, boundary setting, and personal empowerment, while also creating space for deeper healing, reflection, and growth.

As a therapist licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve individuals and families across state lines. I live in New Jersey with my husband of 30 years, and I bring both professional experience and life wisdom into every session.

In our time together, you can expect to feel seen, valued, and supported—whether you are seeking spiritual guidance, emotional healing, or practical tools to manage life’s challenges. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I am committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.
