Jim Maguire

Hi,
I am glad that you are taking an important step is seeking help. Weather it is with me or not, I want to encourage you to continue on the path of self acceptance and improvement. Everyone deserves respect and non-judgmental therapy.

Hi My name is Jim Maguire. I am a Board- Certified Mental Health Therapist and have a New Jersey issued license as a Professional Counselor. (LPC). As well as a New Jersey and Michigan certification as a School Psychologist. I have over 20 years of Counseling experience -working with children, adults and families. In addition to working as a School Counselor and School Psychologist, I also worked as an Alcohol and Drug therapist at a leading Mental Health Hospital in New Jersey. At this point in time, I am providing services via Telehealth only. Web site: Atlanticcounelingnj.com
I know that it is not easy to recognize the need and to take the step of asking for help. My personal and family experience is such that I fully understand the obstacles faced in seeking help from a professional. Seeking help, I have come to believe, is a sign of strength not weakness. I do not strictly adhere to any one Therapeutic model.
I am a strong believer that the most important thing in helping others is an empathetic therapeutic alliance. To paraphrase a quote from education: “People don’t care what you know, until they know that you care.” The therapy “room” should be a place where you can express yourself with out fear of being judged. I welcome you.
