Mikaela Morcombe, MA, LPC, Therapist in Moorestown, New Jersey

Education and Experience: I obtained my training from Fairleigh Dickinson University and received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from their CACREEP accredited program. In addition to my MA, I hold a National Counselor Certification, and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor. I received my experience primarily from a high school setting working alongside other mental health professionals while collaborating with teachers, administrators, and school psychologists. I have also received experience from a community mental health agency where I have worked with higher risk populations providing individual and group counseling services. Currently, I have been employed with NJ Behavioral Health a LifeStance Health affiliate for two plus years providing individual counseling, integrative family interventions, and occasionally couples counseling services. Counseling Philosophy: I strive to provide a safe environment for my clients to explore their concerns at depths that are comfortable to them. I believe it is important to convey unconditional positive regard and authenticity for my clients without judgement, which I hope will allow for personal growth and achievement. Working togethering in a safe environment I hope to guide my clients in increasing their self-awareness, confidence, and overall mental health. I approach counseling from an integrative perspective. I incorporate humanistic, narrative, mindfulness, positive psychology, and cognitive-behavioral therapy elements to provide individualized therapy to each client based on their presenting needs. My goal is to meet my clients where they are and grow with them while tailoring my approach as we move forward towards reaching goals. More about Me: Outside of my counseling career, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, reading, traveling, working out, spending time in nature, photography, continuing my education, and practicing mindfulness regularly. I enjoy walks with my dog, Denali, and hanging home with my two cats. I believe the animal human connection is beneficial to increasing mental wellness! However, on a rainy day I’ll likely be binge watching Netflix while staying cozy at home. Clinical services in New Jersey are provided by New Jersey Behavioral Health PLLC.
