Rebekah Squire, Therapist

I started my college education at Passaic Community College where I received my associate’s degree in Liberal Arts. While I was in community college, I thoroughly enjoyed my psychology courses and was interested in learning more about the human mind, and behavior. From community college, I transferred to William Paterson University where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I decided I wanted to continue my education to earn my master’s degree and attended Montclair State University for Clinical Mental Health Counseling. It was my empathetic nature, interest in addiction, and desire to learn more about mental health that aided me towards my graduate school journey. I completed my clinical internship at a community outpatient counseling clinic at Montclair State University. During my time as a clinician, I worked with a variety of clients, including children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. I provided individual, couples, family, and group counseling. I strive to create a non-judgmental environment for my clients where they feel welcomed, respected, heard, and have the support they deserve while collaboratively working towards their goals. The most rewarding part about being a mental health counselor is being able to witness individuals bettering themselves and overcoming obstacles whether they are big or small. As a counselor, I know that every individual is unique; therefore, I work with the client based on their needs and at a pace they are comfortable with, while also trying to challenge them in making steps towards their progress. The theoretical orientations I incorporate into my counseling sessions are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy Approach, Psychoeducation, Supportive, and Mindfulness. I am a firm believer that our thoughts and feelings influence our behavior. The first step in creating change starts with self-awareness. We will work to identify any dysfunctional and distorted thoughts in order to work towards actively modifying and challenging negative beliefs and patterns. As the clinician, I am here to work with the client on whatever it may be that they would like to achieve. That being said, sometimes it is appropriate to work through areas in the past in order to help aid growth in the future. I am a supporter of the idea that creating balance is essential to self-care. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I love cooking and trying new delicious places to dine. To decompress, I like to watch shows and movies of various genres. I really hope to travel more in the future to experience various lifestyles and cultures. I have two dogs who I adore who fill my life with love and laughter.

Tara Guzman, Therapist

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of New Jersey, as well as, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York. I earned my Master’s Degree with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling from Iona University. I have an extensive background working with children, adolescents, and young adults in various settings. My work began at a school for children with special needs where I was exposed to many different types of treatments and additional resources that I have been able to incorporate into my therapeutic approach today. My clinical work has comprised of providing therapy to youth and young adults dealing with severe emotional, behavioral, psychiatric, and/or substance use concerns at a residential treatment center and in several community-based, mobile therapy programs. I have always had a genuine interest and eagerness to work with the younger population and feel so grateful that I have been able to higher my education to turn this passion into my career! I have become well-versed in treating clients experiencing symptoms related to depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, impulsivity, low self-esteem, and disruptive and self-destructive behaviors. My goal in treatment is to provide a safe and comfortable space to help clients work on being the best possible version of themselves. I focus firstly and most importantly on a Person-Centered approach that allows the foundation of therapy to be built on a trusting, therapeutic relationship while allowing the client to be in control of their treatment. I utilize Psychodynamic Therapy, which focuses on understanding your emotional patterns and their roots. Through this, I work with clients to develop better coping strategies that target solving current problems. Psychodynamic Therapy has been proven to help promote self-regulation, self-awareness, and emotional growth. I additionally incorporate components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Play Therapy into most of my work. Through these therapies, I aim to create a creative and enjoyable atmosphere while focusing on challenging and changing cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving distress tolerance, and discovering inner resilience. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to help younger clients under 18 reach their goals, which means involving their caregiver or other family members into treatment to facilitate a better understanding of the client’s needs and encourage implementing the skills they’ve learned at home, in school, and/or in the community. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, relaxing at the beach, traveling, or playing outside with my puppy, Jax!
