Edin Wall

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative space to explore our experiences, patterns, and the stories we tell ourselves. It’s a place to pause, reflect, make meaning, and begin to create change. I view my role as a therapist as both a mirror and a partner in this change. I help you reflect on your experiences with curiosity and compassion, while supporting you as you move toward the life you want to build.

Allison Krauss Randall

Allison Krauss Randall

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Welcome to Safe Haven Counseling, LLC. My name is Allison Krauss Randall and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience providing counseling services to women, men and children who have experienced trauma, loss and stress in their relationships and lives. I am trauma informed and trained as well as trained over 200 therapist nationally regarding the impact of trauma on our attachments and relationships.


I know both personally and professionally how important healthy, meaningful relationships are to our overall wellbeing. I also know the profound impact when our most important relationships are full of stress, hurt, betrayal, and trauma. I have extensive knowledge on the impact of trauma when we desire loving, supportive connections. I want to create a "safe haven" where individuals can feel a sense of calm in the storms of their traumatic relationships, to explore, process and heal the broken pieces of our hearts when our connections hurt rather than support.

Salina Mecham

Salina Mecham

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Salina Mecham. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of Utah, along with certification in substance use treatment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), and Domestic Violence Intervention Treatment Counselor (DVP), and I am fully licensed in Utah, Washington, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including residential programs, behavioral health hospitals, and community mental health. I began my career in group homes for youth, where I developed a strong foundation in working with individuals in high-stress and high-need situations. Since then, I have continued to support individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

I am a trained Level 1 Gottman therapist (working on Level 2), this is helpful to those struggling with relationship issues. I am also a trained Level 1 IFS therapist, which is a great modality for people struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc. I have invested countless hours in learning other helpful modalities and concepts that add to my knoweldge.

People tend to seek me out because they are looking for someone who feels normal and approachable. Sure, I have a quirk or two, but people often describe talking with me as feeling like they are talking with an old friend who happens to know a lot of mental health specific things and who gives solid counsel and makes them feel valid in this crazy world.
