Megan Shurtleff
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
My clinical experience includes working with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety (generalized,
OCD, PTSD), depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorder, attachment-related issues,
adjustment issues, and grief. I have worked with various populations across different settings including
working with adolescents in a community program, dual diagnosis clinical setting, and in crisis
intervention in a hospital setting.
Using a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to
address their current difficulties by identifying root causes and individualized goals for change. My goal
is to empower individuals to create a pathway to achieving these goals by developing and
implementing strategies and coping skills that can best help them achieve lasting and meaningful
changes on their terms.
I am a licensed LSW in NJ, working toward LCSW licensure. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in both
Psychology and Anthropology, and my Masters of Social Work from Binghamton University. I utilize an
eclectic approach to therapy, allowing therapeutic experience to be adapted to best suit each
individual’s needs and circumstances. I provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space to work
through the change process. Modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational
Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
I specialize in working with clients from the ages of 14 to adulthood, who are inquisitive, self-aware, and deeply motivated to understand themselves better, improve their relationships, move into a place of self-respect/love, and develop adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and problem-solving. I have worked for many years with children, teens, adults, and families dealing with trauma and change and searching for authenticity, often in a world that values the superficial. Therapy is a process of seeking meaning, managing change, letting go of what no longer makes sense for who we are and what we want, healing, and growing.
I am most suited to help clients dealing with loss, prior childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, identity (in all its manifestations), divorce, self-esteem, grief, and emotional regulation. The goals are different for everyone, yet I believe that we all want to feel more balanced, more joyful, and more healthfully connected with others.
As a psychologist with 25 years of post-doctoral experience, I’ve been exposed to various modalities, settings, and clients dealing with differing issues, life changes, and developmental expectations. I’ve also found that my professional practice has evolved as I’ve matured, raised children, and survived losses and challenges. We are in this together.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
I do my best to listen in the service of understanding and provide thoughtful responsiveness, which I have found helps my clients connect to their inner life and with others. Using gentle honesty and compassion, I value autonomy and collaboration to help people feel less alone while finding a sense of purpose within their lives and in the world.
