Our therapists provide counseling services for teens in New Jersey

My name is Lilah Souza. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and licensed professional counselor (LPC) who works with a variety of different backgrounds including children, teens, young adults, adults, LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent individuals, and so on. 

I consider my approach to be warm, empathetic, client-centered, and eclectic. I do CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and expressive arts based therapy with my clients to help them get to a place where they can cope with life's challenges and feel like they're enough. 

Reaching out for the first time is always the hardest step. Thank you for taking the time and the courage to reach out and I hope we can work as a team in your mental health journey.

I earned my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The College of New Jersey. Through my experience in addiction and mental health treatment, I earned my Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) credentials. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, family-origin concerns, life stressors, and substance use concerns. I also work with couples and families seeking to improve communication, strengthen relationships, and foster healthier connections.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach, recognizing you as the expert on your own life. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and attachment- and family systems perspectives to support meaningful, lasting growth.

Reaching out for therapy can be the first step toward creating meaningful change. I would be honored to support you in exploring the changes you hope to make while providing a compassionate, collaborative space to grow. Our first session will focus on understanding your story, identifying your goals, and creating a plan that feels right for you.

Dearest Community, allow me the opportunity to introduce myself as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with Thriveworks Counseling. My name is Bianca Price, and I bring more than 20 years of dedicated service to individuals, youth, couples, and families throughout the state of New Jersey. Throughout my career, I have held multiple roles within the children’s system of care, ranging from direct work with children, families, adults, and couples to various levels of management. This versatility has deepened my appreciation for system partners and for the distinct role and meaningful impact I now have as a Mental Health Therapist.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I use current, evidence-based clinical interventions to create meaningful and lasting change for individuals receiving mental health support. I am proud to offer comprehensive telehealth services and remain committed to providing high quality care, professionalism, and responsiveness to each person’s unique needs.

I am currently accepting new referrals and would be both honored and excited to become your provider of choice. I look forward to collaborating with you as you take the next steps toward making a decision that can positively impact your life. Wishing you all the best!
