Tina Losi Petersen, LPC — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm Tina!

I specialize in working with individuals navigating stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, health and wellness, life transitions, and career decisions. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can set goals and focus on being your best self.

My focus

I work with clients managing anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring personal goals, I'll create an empowering plan for growth. If you're struggling with anxious thoughts, self-doubt, or relationship struggles, I'm here to help.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This hands-on approach gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your needs, I may incorporate mindfulness. Together, we'll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.

My communication style

I create a supportive, non-judgmental environment through open communication and active listening. I'll give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences while guiding you with empathy to find solutions. If we're working through something challenging, you can expect me to listen when you may feel like no one else is.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep passion to help people. I value being there for others while helping them feel good about themselves. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether they focus on improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another personal objective. As you gain new insights, your goals may evolve, and we can adapt our plan at any time.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous. I believe you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges.
