Psychodynamic Therapists in 07043

My practice is a psychodynamic approach utilizing verbal therapy, art psychotherapy, and mindfulness. As each client has their own individual and unique experience, backgrounds, and personalities as does the treatment I provide. I work together with my clients to determine their goals and what approaches work best for them. I specialize in working with children/adults/families experiencing grief, teenagers who are transitioning from high school to college, youth and adults feeling overwhelmed and anxious.

I am psychotherapist devoted to helping adult individuals and couples achieve improved relationships, contentment, self-confidence and acceptance. I work with clients through teletherapy or in-person sessions to identify underlying problems and improve ways of coping, with specialization in couples counseling, grief and complicated grief, anxiety, depression and adoption. My post-graduate training includes psychodynamic psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, marital/couples issues, adoption throughout the life cycle, grief and bereavement and the spectrum of issues relating to trauma.

Join me on a journey of self discovery and empowerment. I provide a safe environment in which to understand the roots of your difficulties and to change self-defeating patterns of behavior, which interfere with work and intimate relationships. I love my work and continue to learn so much from the courageous people I work with as they struggle to make changes in their lives. I have 30+ years of experience working with individuals and couples. My treatment approach may include psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.

As a systemic thinker, I am always looking at a person in relationship to their environment, and the people in it. With a strength-based approach in family therapy, I also use psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral principles, while providing a safe and empathic environment for our work together. I have treated families, couples and individuals for 16 years with a broad scope of culture, age and relational issues. I have helped many people through transitional events that affect them throughout their lives; school, career, marriage, parenting, illness, loss, divorce and retirement. My interest is in the relationship you have with yourself and those around you.

Sometimes our troubles and feelings become overwhelming and we struggle to cope. Sometimes we feel disconnected and alone. Therapy is for you if there are things you would like to change and understand in your life that are too painful or shameful to grasp alone or even with a friend. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals and families of all ages. I am passionate about helping you understand old patterns so that you can then grow yourself into the fullness of who you truly are in the here and now.

I am a mature and long-time clinician. I focus on family issues, parenting crises, divorce/custody, and the problems of older adults. In the past few years, I have become quite comfortable with virtual office treatment. I am warm and engaging and able to establish meaningful rapport. Virtual therapy isn’t comfortable for all but surprisingly it can offer an intensity that is sometimes not easily established in the traditional setting. I am glad to offer assistance with the technology of virtual therapy for those who are less experienced.

Hello and welcome to my practice. I am a clinical psychologist with more than 20 years of experience helping people to improve their lives. I work with children, adolescents and adults struggling with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal challenges. My education and training is extensive and diverse with a MEd from Harvard University and a PhD from Columbia University. I see clients from all backgrounds, ethnicities and genders. My approach is creative and multifaceted and tailored to your needs. Together, our goal is to effectively identify and address the issues interfering with living a better life.

If you are struggling with anxiety, feelings of unworthiness, a sense of loss & grief or relationship problems I can help. I have been working successfully with individuals, couples and families for almost 30 years. Together we will clarify your goals and through our mutual collaboration positive change can occur. If you commit to the process you will make a dramatic shift in your life; (stop repetitive, self-defeating behaviors; start to heal from deeply rooted pain which you may have previously been unable to resolve; learn to actively listen and genuinely hear what your partner, family member, client or boss is saying to you.

My work as a clinical psychologist has grown out of my interest in the interplay of how we develop, what we experience, and how we make our way through our challenges. My commitment in the therapeutic process is to a thoughtful understanding of how your experiences have brought you to this point and what the underlying causes of difficulty in your life are. Through our collaboration we work in an atmosphere of respect to deepen that understanding, reduce distress, create better ways of coping, promote healing, and structure changes that allow for greater balance and the possibility of joy.

I believe we all have an innate orientation toward health, growth, and the expression of our full potential. We may experience, however, blocks in the form of thinking, feeling, and/or bodily symptoms that cause significant distress, interfering with our ability to function optimally and to access our resources and our more complete selves. This may manifest itself in the form of overwhelming feelings such as depression, anxiety, and/or rage; disordered eating and body image; flashbacks and/or other symptoms of unprocessed traumatic experiences; or other signs that we have lost touch with the fullness of who we are.

The ideal client is a person who is interested in addressing personal and/or clinical issues as well as any situational concerns. My aim is to help people improve their lives and stay healthy. I will assist you to find inner strengths and areas to improve upon to define your best personal balance. My work relies on evidence based psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy to assist you to improve coping. I have worked with individuals and families.

I have established a private practice that is a warm, nonjudgemental, confidential, and culturally sensitive setting. In this comfortable environment you will feel safe to explore and resolve any issues that have become to challenging for you to resolve on your own. I am an experienced professional, licensed by the State of New Jersey. Depending on your needs I provide individual, marital/couples, and/or family counseling. My education and experience include psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and ego resolution, as well as spiritual counseling which make this a successful comprehensive service.

As I reflect on my many years of practicing psychotherapy , I have found that what has been the most helpful is the authenticity of the therapeutic relationship. This is where you, the client, will learn to trust and open up about yourself. This process of self reflection will help you identify and understand the deeper parts of you. Whether your problem is self esteem, family issues, or intimacy , understanding yourself in a meaningful way will allow you to be more content in your daily living. Psychotherapy is a place where you can learn to feel better about yourself.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with individual children, adolescents and adults. I believe successful treatment is based upon a warm and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Changing patterns of behavior, ways of thinking and relating to others can be daunting and requires a patient and understanding therapist who can help you tackle the problem from different angles.

Your family doctor would not offer the same treatment to every patient dealing with physical pain. You should expect the same type of individualized and nuanced treatment when you or your family member experiences pain of an emotional nature. A licensed psychologist with 20+ years of clinical experience and an integrative orientation, I've modeled my psychological treatment approach on the family doctor paradigm. My goal is to explore, assess, identify, and then compassionately and collaboratively address the unique presenting life issues of each patient with knowledge, positivity, and creativity.

When life becomes overwhelming, therapy becomes an opportunity to identify barriers to satisfaction, manage the difficulties you are experiencing, and to feel better. I understand that finding the right therapist takes time and making the first call is difficult. When you are ready to do so, I can help you decide how and when you'd like to begin. I offer a warm and supportive space in which you can safely express your worries and concerns. My encouraging and interactive style allows you to explore your circumstances, while equipping you with coping skills to manage when feeling overwhelmed.

I provide long-term psychodynamic therapy to adults and couples. I focus on exploring interpersonal and trauma-based patterns, and how they shape personality, emotions, and everyday functioning. I also use mindfulness, problem solving, and other strategies if your needs call for them. Meeting more than once per week can facilitate this work but I am open to your preference. I seek to create an open, engaged, comfortable, and constantly evolving therapeutic relationship that motivates you to work through your struggles. I individualize my approach to your unique needs and continually adapt as therapy proceeds.

Welcome- - Sometimes we all feel a little stuck, unbalanced, and overwhelmed with choices. Life is busy and it can be difficult to navigate. I offer individuals a space where you can pause, reflect, and move in a forward direction. I believe that everyone can benefit from a little support.

We often put self-care on the back burner, with therapy coming in last. If you feel stuck, low or overwhelmed, now is the time to start therapy and make positive change in your life. There is no problem too small or big; work or relationships, postpartum and parenting, trauma and grief all deserve reflection and healing.
