Person-Centered therapists in Wildwood, New Jersey NJ
Person-Centered
Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities; in the expert’s mind there are few.” This Zen Buddhist quote guides my way of being a therapist. I strive to keep a “beginner’s mind”: to stay curious, open, and humble. To not assume things, or forget the uniqueness of every person and situation I encounter as a therapist. My aim is to stay present to what is happening, not to “fix” you or tell you how to live, but to use my awareness to help you find your own answers and to define your own path.
We’re just going to talk. To slow down, be present, and to notice thoughts, emotions, and patterns. We’ll be real and we’ll be honest. You can express yourself without pressure and without fear of judgement here.
The next step is to just reach out: call, email, or visit my website to book an initial consultation. I look forward to talking with you.

Fatma Aydin, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
It is often difficult to ask for support in the face of life’s challenges, and I appreciate you taking this step! I work with young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and identity and self-esteem concerns, among others. My goal is to create a comfortable and safe space where we work collaboratively to help you face those challenges and make the changes you desire to live a more fulfilling life. We all have vulnerabilities, and strengths we often don’t realize. I therefore work with my clients to build on their strengths and resilience, and develop self-compassion.
I recognize the impact of culture on our identities and experiences and I have enjoyed working with clients from diverse backgrounds at outpatient, community mental health, and university counseling settings. These included the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Northwestern University, DePaul University and University of Illinois at Chicago.
I welcome clients from all walks of life and feel humbled by their willingness to invite me to be a part of their journey.

Psychologist, Ph.D.
My focus lies in providing empathetic and individualized care to those navigating Serious Mental Illness (SMI), PTSD and Trauma, and life stress and transitions. Grounded in a recovery-oriented approach, I strive to empower patients by fostering a therapeutic alliance built on trust and collaboration. Through evidence-based interventions, my goal is to support individuals in their unique recovery journeys, addressing all presenting concerns with sensitivity and openness. I am committed to creating a safe space within which patients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and work towards holistic wellbeing. With my clinical practice rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I bring a flexible and individualized approach to therapy, recognizing the uniqueness of each person's experience. I aim to balance both warmth and accountability, creating a supportive space for patients. By providing a tailored therapy experience, I aim to foster lasting growth and change, empower patients in their journeys, and help them achieve a balanced and fulfilling life consistent with their own values.

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.
