Deborah J. Armstrong Psy.D. Haddonfield Psychology Individual Counseling Anxiety Women's Concerns Grief Loss

As we create the time and space to reflect on our lives,
we make room for the possibility of transformation.

Counseling may offer a time and place to:

increase your ability to relax and experience peace

learn to better understand yourself and others

remove inner obstacles to realizing your dreams

Every problem offers an opportunity to grow. People who choose to work with me use counseling to:

improve their ability to build the kind of relationships they want

increase their ability to master feelings of panic and anxiety

grow through loss

They may also use the counseling process to:

gain relief from troubling memories

transcend distressing job experiences

reduce the risk of burnout

reduce performance anxiety

overcome text anxiety

overcome the consequences of difficult childhood experiences

It takes courage to grow into who you were created to be. A problem can become a transition to better things as you develop new ways to enjoy using your abilities and experience. Midlife transitions may include:

pursuing another job or career

returning to college or graduate school

exploring new ways to invest time and energy as children mature and leave for college

developing a new vocation or ministry as retirement approaches

composing a new life after losing a partner to death or divorce

I also counsel individuals who are:

navigating their way through college or graduate school

starting their careers
preparing for marriage

adjusting to the birth of children

adapting to the challenges of parenting

Some people find it useful that, as well as being a psychologist, I am certified as an EMDR therapist.* Other people find it helpful that I graduated from Palmer Theological Seminary. Still others value that I focused on young adult development during my psychology internship at Princeton University Counseling Center.

I offer a free phone consultation to first-time callers. To ask questions, or to schedule an appointment, feel free to call me at (856) 993-2814. For further information about the counseling process, please see:

EMDR: A Way to Gain Relief from Distress

* Over 20 years of research have demonstrated the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in reducing anxiety. EMDR has helped people in the United States and a total of 70 countries overcome the psychological impact of difficult experiences and reduce their distress, so that they have become more free to move forward with their lives.
