Hi, I'm Paige! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with a Master of Social Work and experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families across residential, school-based, behavioral health, and community settings. I work with clients facing emotional, behavioral, and life challenges who are seeking support, stability, and meaningful change to benefit their quality of life. My approach draws on experience in individual and family therapy, crisis intervention, care coordination, treatment planning, and group facilitation.
I specialize in supporting and assisting in managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood and personality disorders, PTSD (trauma), relationship challenges, and behavioral challenges. I use a trauma-focused, person-centered approach to meet my clients where they are at and incorporate CBT and DBT techniques to help clients build insight and coping skills. With youths/adolescents, I also love to integrate art and play into therapy.
I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, and reaching out for support is not always easy. My goal is to meet you where you are - without judgment, and create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. When you’re ready, I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing and growth. Book an appointment with me to take the next step toward change.

As a neurodivergent woman of color, I understand the unique challenges of identity exploration and intersectionality.
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.

Life has taught me that growth rarely happens in a straight line, and that having a space where you can be honest, feel understood, and make sense of what you’re experiencing can make all the difference. I bring that belief into my work with each client.
I’m a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) with a background in art therapy, and I bring a warm, genuine, and collaborative approach to my work. I work with adolescents and adults, including LGBTQ+ clients, navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, relationships, grief and loss, and major life transitions. I often work with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and want a space to better understand what they’re experiencing and find a way forward that feels true to them.
I take a person-centered, collaborative approach, incorporating mindfulness and expressive arts alongside practical strategies tailored to your needs and goals. Together, we can build self-awareness, develop coping skills, and explore new ways of navigating life’s challenges.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re not sure where to begin. I’d be honored to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and support you in taking the next step toward feeling more grounded, understood, and connected to yourself. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in , NJ offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
