MEET TERESA MARTINO-WOODS, LPC, ACS
As a mom myself and a licensed counselor in Matawan, Monmouth County, I understand the unique challenges you face - from the intensity of postpartum life, to the mental load of raising young children while juggling work, identity, and self-care.
My mission is to create a safe, supportive space for all women: working moms, stay-at-home moms, and every mother who wants more than just “getting by.”
Together, we’ll build stronger connections with yourself, your children, and your life through tailored women’s therapy and mom-focused support designed to help you feel grounded, capable, and seen.
As your Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), I want you to know, I’m just like you. I’m a wife to an Emergency Responder and a mom to two boys. And even with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I still face my own challenges.
But I also know firsthand that with the right support and a compassionate counselor, life as a woman and mother can start to feel lighter, calmer, and more fulfilling.
That’s why I’m so passionate about helping you. Parenting is hard but you don’t have to do it alone.
Schedule your complimentary consultation today and begin your journey toward feeling more like yourself again, with specialized therapy for moms in Matawan, NJ and virtual sessions across New Jersey.
