Kim Lada

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who strives for my clients to feel comfortable, supported, and accepted from a nonjudgemental stance. I may not have a specialty specific population but I welcome all individuals at my (virtual) door. I have experience with all populations but enjoy working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, self esteem, communication issues, relational, boundary setting, and taking care of oneself.

My goal is for clients to make life more manageable and find the best version of themselves. I collaborate with clients to manage and cope more effectively to improve functioning and avoid burnout. I've been in the mental health field for over 10 years in outpatient mental health as well as emergency crisis services. I received my Masters in Counseling as well as my Bachelors in Psychology from TCNJ. I serve individuals struggling with stress, anxiety and depression.

I approach clients gently and warmly until we develop a rapport. Our therapeutic relationship is most important when discussing sensitive topics. I do not shy away from being direct and honest but prioritize clients also feeling supported. I utilize many different styles and theories such as CBT, Solution focused, and client centered. I put strong focus on self care, boundary setting, positive self esteem, and healthy communication.

I aim to create a supportive environment that allows a client to feel comfortable to share their story at their own pace. We can create goals together to improve your mental health as well as overall health.
