About Me

Welcome to My Practice: Dana Meadows, LCSW
 

Welcome to my practice. I'm Dana Meadows, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I'm dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy to adolescents and adults throughout New Jersey. Understanding that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, I'm here to offer a safe and supportive space for you to prioritize your mental health, create balance, and achieve emotional stability.

My client-centered philosophy prioritizes tailoring treatment to your unique needs. I utilize a strength-based approach, focusing on your inherent strengths to foster self-worth and confidence. We will work collaboratively to identify your goals and develop effective strategies for finding peace and stability, even amidst life's challenges. My areas of focus include anxiety, stress, depression, and navigating life transitions.

My style is compassionate, direct, and affirming. I meet you where you are, tailoring treatment goals and interventions accordingly. Employing evidence-based modalities like DBT, CBT, and positive psychology, I aim to build your confidence and promote lasting growth. As a clinician, I prioritize addressing your symptoms rather than solely focusing on diagnoses.

I firmly believe in the transformative power of a strong therapeutic relationship. If you're seeking guidance and support to improve your quality of life, I encourage you to schedule a consultation. Let's work together to help you discover your own pathways to peace and positive change.

                                Individual Therapy

Dana, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, provides individual virtual therapy sessions at Pathways to Peace Counseling, offering a safe and confidential space for adults and teenagers to explore their mental health concerns. Through personalized one-on-one sessions, Dana utilizes evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors to improve emotional well-being. DBT, on the other hand, is a therapy that emphasizes acceptance and change, teaching skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and increase mindfulness. Clients can expect to gain valuable insights into their thought patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and work towards achieving their mental health goals, all within the flexible and convenient setting of telehealth sessions from the comfort of their own homes.

                                       Group Therapy

Dana also facilitates engaging and supportive virtual group therapy sessions. These groups provide a valuable community space for shared learning and growth. One offering is a mental health book club exploring topics such as self-help, autobiographical narratives, and skill-building resources, fostering discussion and connection through shared reading. Furthermore, Dana leads social skills groups and a women's group designed to build essential skills for maintaining emotional health and overall well-being. Each virtual group will delve into a new topic or skill, providing dedicated time for processing personal growth and navigating individual challenges within a supportive environment.

Autism Spectrum Support

Dana also offers specialized support for individuals on the autism spectrum. With a deep understanding of neurodiversity, she provides a welcoming and affirming space for those seeking support. In addition to therapy services, Dana has experience administering clinical assessments for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This involves a multi-faceted approach, including developmental screenings, comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, and the use of standardized tools like the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) to aid in understanding and support. This focused area of her practice aims to provide tailored guidance and resources to meet the unique needs of this community.
