Meet Deirdre

DEIRDRE COSGROVE, LMFT

"Therapy is the space where we hold hope that healing is possible, and where we take steps to experience the change we desire."

I work with individuals, couples and families at all stages of their lives. I’m passionate about helping my clients better understand themselves and their relationships, so they can live a fulfilling life unburdened by shame, fear, and feelings of unworthiness. 

I love to help couples rediscover their friendship and intimacy, and to break down whatever walls have built between them. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Gottman Method Couples therapy, to help couples create connection and understanding. I also enjoy working with individuals who find themselves struggling with areas of their lives, whether it be navigating relationships, managing stress and anxiety, finding purpose, processing trauma, or adjusting to life transitions. 

As a trauma-informed, relational therapist, I’m a big believer that we are shaped by our relationships and experiences. It is a privilege to witness my client’s stories and to be a part of their journey toward achieving deeper connection and understanding of themselves and their world.

Who I work with:

I primarily work with adult individuals who are looking to understand and heal from early childhood trauma or adverse life experiences. I help my clients to understand the different parts of themselves, moving toward gaining more perspective and clarity. I enjoy supporting my individual clients to increase feelings of purpose, self- worth and confidence. I work with couples who are experiencing feelings of disconnection, frustration with gridlocked conflict, or struggling to process infidelity or other betrayals.

Taking the next step

You can make an appointment with me by using our online portal at any time or by emailing info@abetterlifetherapy.com. Our team will be happy to support you in finding an appointment time that works for you!

I provide appointments at our Galloway, New Jersey office along with providing therapy via telehealth. I can provide online therapy to people living in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Fee

My rate per 50 minute session is $200.00.

I am an out of network provider which means that I do not accept insurance directly. We do accept HSA’s for your care and can provide something called a superbill after your sessions. A superbill is a receipt that includes all information that your insurance company would need to process reimbursement if they include that as part of your plan.
