Hello! My name is Gwendolyn or "Gwen" is fine.

I received my graduate degree and licensure from Rider University in community counseling. I have almost two decades of experience in individual, couples, family and group therapy. My specialties include domestic violence, sexual violence, bereavement and other traumas. I am New Jersey State certified in domestic violence and sexual violence. I'm not exclusive to treating trauma since most of my clients are coming in with different issues. Most of my clients are just dealing with life issues. I welcome all diverse clients. I find that I learn most from my clients.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hello there!

My name is Timothy Dunn, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Central New Jersey. I have been working in the mental health field since 2016, beginning in inpatient treatment, followed by several years as a case manager supporting adults with severe mental illness, and currently practicing in an outpatient setting since 2022.

I serve a diverse population across age, gender, and mental health concerns, with a focus on treating anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse and neglect, and adolescents. I am looking to work with individuals who are ready to “enter the room” and “do the work,” moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m also a husband, father, and proud dog dad who hopes to help heal the world one person at a time.
