Terri Hunter, LPC, LPC, LPC, LPC — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Terri!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life transitions, and emotional wellness. My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative, using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commit

My focus

I work well with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, burnout, life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are individuals who spend so much time caring for others that they often neglect their own emotional needs.

My approach

I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can show up as yourself without fear of judgment. My approach to treatment is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, down-to-earth, supportive, and direct when needed. I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being honest and vulnerable while also feeling emotionally safe and respected. I believe healing happens through genuine connection, consistency, and trust.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey toward becoming a therapist was deeply personal. During college, I experienced a difficult period of depression after significant life stressors and found therapy to be life-changing. Having a space where I felt supported and understood helped me regain hope and direction, and it inspired me to help others who may be struggling too.

My goals for you

Together, we identify realistic and meaningful treatment goals based on your individual needs and values. I help clients break larger challenges into manageable steps while celebrating progress along the way. Therapy is not about perfection—it’s about growth, insight, and developing tools that improve your overall quality of life and well being.

Our first session

I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, emotional experiences, stressors, support system, and goals for treatment. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. The first session is simply about creating a comfortable space to begin understanding your story and determining how I can best support you moving forward.
