Hi! I am a dually licensed clinician: Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Licensed Clinical Alcohol & Drug Counselor. I am a wife, mom, and ultimately a person just like you. Working with people is more than a job. It is a privilege to work with clients through their many life transitions and milestones. I have worked at outpatient and inpatient settings, but now enjoy the ability to see clients evolve past the stabilization phases for years to come. Therapy can be uncomfortable, but that process also will help you to change the issues you are seeking to address. Having worked with an eclectic amount of people has served me in being able to help individuals from all walks of life. With telehealth, I can see clients anywhere in the state of NJ. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques because we can't be cookie cutter when it comes to individual people and the problems they face. I will challenge you to go below the surface while offering a safe space to be yourself. Teaching coping skills and helping to process traumas are an important part of the experience. I invite you to do the hard, but necessary work to learn about yourself, empowering you to be the hero in your own story. It is never too late and being brave enough to ask for the guidance and accountability is the first step in your healing journey. I would be excited to be a small part of the bigger picture of self-fulfillment and change! I incorporate "walk & talk" therapy for clients that enjoy exercise, the outdoors, & a non-traditional therapy setting. Work Phone: (856) 502-1819 Email: a.p.elker@protonmail.com
