Work HistoryWelcome.. My name is Dr. Emelda Phillip or Dr. E, and my practice is Dr. E's Wellness Services, LLC. We provide Christian based Mental Health services for Women. I am licensed as a psychotherapist in New Jersey with over 20 years of professional work experience. I am also licensed in Florida. I have a Masters (M.A.) and a Doctorate (Psy. D.) in Counseling Psychology. I also specialize in Wellness for Women and Women of Color. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and coping with life changes. My therapeutic approach is wellness-based care and a combination of Psychodynamic, CBT, and Client-Centered Therapy. I work with my clients to create an open, safe and therapeutic environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign-up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! Therapy is a journey, and I would love to assist you on Your Wellness and Healing Journey!
