Introduction

Welcome to Purpose Mental Health! My name is Sandy Shehata, founder and owner of Purpose Mental Health and a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. I work with children, adolescents, and young adults up to age 25 experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, family conflict, trauma, and complex PTSD. I hold a Master's in Professional Counseling from Seton Hall University and am pursuing a doctorate in Counseling Psychology at Saint Elizabeth University, specializing in trauma-informed care. My experience spans hospitals, community mental health, private practice, and humanitarian organizations, supporting survivors of war, trafficking, abuse, displacement, and interpersonal violence. My approach emphasizes safety, empowerment, cultural responsiveness, and honoring each person's unique story. As an Egyptian immigrant and Coptic Orthodox Christian, I value the role of culture, faith, and identity in healing. I am fluent in Arabic and welcome diverse backgrounds. At Purpose Mental Health, I believe healing means rediscovering meaning, reconnecting with your strengths, and moving toward a fulfilling life. Your story matters, and you deserve to heal with purpose.
