Inspired Hope

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW

Hello All! Thank you for visiting my profile “People can cry much easier than they can change.” -James Baldwin. Change can be hard, brutal, and ugly, especially when trying to go it alone. Change is something that is easier said than done. We all get to various points in our lives when we must make that change in order to evolve from the feelings and/or situations that we need to transition from. My goal is to support you while navigating those changes in your life in a safe and nurturing therapeutic relationship where you can gain the skills needed to reach your mental wellness goals. I believe that YOU are the expert in your life. I am simply here to offer insight and to help guide you to the answers that reside within. I am an educator, a therapist, and a certified Parent Coach with a specialization in children and families. I have over 20 years of experience working in a variety of settings with a diverse mix of needs which include, speaking fluent teen lol (adolescent therapy), parenting skills, helping separated couples co-parent, family systems, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and defiant behaviors. We all have challenges that we need to get through. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, open, and honest. I believe that the best work is done in a trusting and nurturing relationship. I want to support your ability to grow, find your voice, and build confidence so that you are equipped to face your challenges with the tools needed for success. Contact me for a complimentary consultation to discuss your goals and how we can work on achieving them together.

Megan Shurtleff

Counselor/Therapist, LSW

My clinical experience includes working with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety (generalized, OCD, PTSD), depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorder, attachment-related issues, adjustment issues, and grief. I have worked with various populations across different settings including working with adolescents in a community program, dual diagnosis clinical setting, and in crisis intervention in a hospital setting. Using a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to address their current difficulties by identifying root causes and individualized goals for change. My goal is to empower individuals to create a pathway to achieving these goals by developing and implementing strategies and coping skills that can best help them achieve lasting and meaningful changes on their terms. I am a licensed LSW in NJ, working toward LCSW licensure. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in both Psychology and Anthropology, and my Masters of Social Work from Binghamton University. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, allowing therapeutic experience to be adapted to best suit each individual’s needs and circumstances. I provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space to work through the change process. Modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.

Morgan Avis

Registered Social Worker, LSW

In my therapeutic practice, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identifying folks with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I take an intersectional approach with clients to understand client's varying identities and how they interact with one another to create the client's perception of themselves and the world around them. I also like to utilize Systems therapy, where I examine with clients how they are impacted by the various interconnected systems in their lives, including but not limited to family, work, community, and societal structures. Through these means, I support clients in developing coping strategies and challenge their ways of thinking, so that when they leave my practice, they have strong skillsets in place to utilize even after sessions are completed.
