We are offering mental health first aid to first responders and frontline workers at a reduced cost at our Montclair location: 460 Bloomfield Avenue. Mental health first aid is an intervention model used to facilitate psychological closure and reconstruction following exposure to a traumatic event. Goals are to stabilize, normalize, restore adaptive functioning, and identify individuals/groups who may need additional help. The goal is to intervene quickly to stop the symptoms from becoming entrenched. "It's not the stress that kills us, it's our reaction to it." (Hans Seyle)

Beyond Survival is a virtual therapy group for adults healing from coercive control and other harmful relationship dynamics, including manipulation, gaslighting, isolation, and post-separation abuse. Many survivors find that even after a crisis has passed, the effects of coercive control remain difficult to understand, explain, and heal from. Whether you are struggling with self-doubt, loss of identity, boundary-setting, ongoing legal or co-parenting challenges, or simply feeling misunderstood in your healing journey, this group offers validation, connection, and support. Together, participants rebuild self-trust, strengthen boundaries, and move toward lives defined by choice, agency, and meaningful connection.
