Find Support for Every Stage of Life
Life’s journey is filled with unique challenges, and seeking support is a sign of strength. At Maplewood Counseling, we offer a safe and compassionate space to help you navigate difficulties, strengthen your connections, and find a path toward healing. We provide specialized guidance tailored to your specific circumstances, whether you are coming in as an individual, a couple, or a family.
For Couples, the path of a shared life can bring unexpected turns. We help partners who feel more like roommates than a couple, reigniting the emotional and physical intimacy that may have faded. Our therapists guide you through resolving recurring arguments that seem to go nowhere, teaching you communication tools to break the cycle of blame and misunderstanding. We also provide a space to heal from betrayals of trust, helping you rebuild a stronger, more honest foundation. Whether you are navigating the complexities of blended families, facing major life decisions, or simply wish to deepen your connection, we are here to support your partnership.
For Individuals, life can sometimes feel like a heavy weight. You might be struggling with a constant sense of worry, a persistent sadness that clouds your days, or the sharp pain of grief after a loss. We help you develop strategies to manage anxiety, lift the fog of depression, and find your footing again. If you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, or facing a crisis of confidence, we will work with you to rediscover your purpose and build self-esteem. Our individual therapy provides a confidential environment to explore your personal challenges and empower you to create a more fulfilling life.
For Families, Parents, and Teens, a harmonious home can sometimes feel out of reach. We support families caught in cycles of conflict, helping you understand one another and restore balance. For parents, we offer guidance on managing behavioral challenges, co-parenting after a separation, or navigating the stress of raising children in a demanding world. We also provide a space for teens to talk openly about the pressures they face—from school stress and social anxiety to questions about their identity. Our goal is to help your family communicate with more empathy, resolve conflicts constructively, and become a source of strength for each other.

Your Partners in Healing
Compassionate, Experienced, and Down-to-Earth Support
Finding the right therapist is the most important step in your journey toward healing. At Maplewood Counseling, our team is built on a foundation of deep experience, genuine compassion, and a commitment to providing care that feels both professional and deeply human. We understand that when you are facing a challenge, you need more than a textbook approach; you need a real person who listens, understands, and partners with you. Our therapists bring years of specialized training and, just as importantly, a down-to-earth perspective that makes it easier to open up and build the trust necessary for true progress. We meet you where you are, without judgment, creating a space where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable and empowered to grow.
Personalized Care for Every Journey
Support for Couples
This personalized approach is at the heart of everything we do. For couples, this means we don’t just offer generic communication tips. We get to know your unique dynamic, the history of your connection, and the specific pain points causing disconnection. We help you translate years of unspoken feelings into productive conversations that foster empathy and reignite your bond.
Support for Individuals
For individuals, we see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. Whether you’re grappling with anxiety, loss, or a feeling of being stuck, we tailor our methods to your personal history, strengths, and goals, helping you build practical skills to navigate life’s complexities with greater confidence.
Support for Families
Families also benefit from our ability to see and honor each member’s perspective. We help create a balanced environment where parents, teens, and children can learn to communicate with respect and understanding, transforming conflict into connection. We recognize that every family system is different, from blended families navigating new roles to parents seeking support for their child’s well-being. Our therapists are skilled at guiding these complex dynamics with a steady, compassionate hand, ensuring everyone feels heard and valued.
No matter what challenge you are facing, our commitment is to provide support that is as unique as you are, helping you move forward with clarity and hope.

Why Choose Maplewood Counseling.
Personalized & Specialized Care
Your Path, Your Plan
We don’t believe in generic templates for mental health. Your experiences, challenges, and goals are yours alone, and your treatment plan should reflect that.
One-on-One Attention: From your very first session, you will have the dedicated, uninterrupted focus of your therapist. We listen deeply to understand your story, creating a safe space for you to share without judgment.
Tailored Strategies: We work with you to develop a personalized roadmap for your healing. This isn’t about checking boxes; it’s about finding what truly works for you and empowering you with tools that fit your life.
A Real Relationship: Unlike large, impersonal platforms, we focus on building a real therapeutic relationship. This trust and rapport are the foundation of effective, lasting change. You are not a case file or a user profile; you are a person we are committed to supporting.
Collaborative Approach: We believe that therapy is a collaborative effort between therapist and client. You are the expert on your own life, and we are here to provide guidance, support, and expertise to help you achieve your goals.
Confidential & Non-Judgmental Space: Our counseling sessions offer a safe, confidential space for you to express yourself without fear of judgment or criticism. We understand that vulnerability takes courage, and we honor that by providing a compassionate environment for growth and healing.
If you’re looking for counseling that genuinely puts your needs first, we invite you to reach out and begin creating a path to well-being that’s uniquely yours.
Testimonials

I have worked collaboratively with Debra Feinberg for a number of years as she has referred clients to my women's group. The feedback that I have received about Debra is that she is a warm and caring therapist who has assisted her clients in overcoming their fears, concerns, and difficult life situations. In my personal interactions with Debra, I have found her to be very professional, conducting her private practice in an ethical, competent fashion, placing her client's confidentiality above anything else. She was very instrumental to me as I began my own private practice, and I view her as a mentor given her solid skills in the field of counseling. I would recommend appropriate clients to her without reservation as she is a stellar therapist and person.

I am a patient of Robert Jenkins. When I first met Robert he was warm and welcoming with good intentions for what we were seeking in our Couples session. I myself also had some individual sessions where Robert was extremely empathetic towards my personal emotions do to my circumstances. I highly recommend Robert Jenkins as a Counselor if you are looking for someone whom has a more detailed understanding of Psychology in a very distinct way. Thank you again Robert for being so supportive. Looking forward to more future sessions.
