"There is great value in asking for help. It tells me you have the desire to live a more authentic life, to develop the skills to manage its ups and downs more effectively, and to deepen connection- within the self and with the world around you. If you find yourself feeling defeated, or caught in a cycle that is not serving you, I invite you to engage in this process with me. Together, we will work to untangle what has gotten in the way of living your best life so that you can begin to do so."

"I am a clinical psychologist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies (CBT and DBT). I work with adolescents, adults, couples and families. My goal is to help clients identify and capitalize upon their ability to cope with emotional distress and live fulfilling lives. My approach is compassionate and change-oriented, with a focus upon developing new ways of thinking, behaving and responding to emotions. I use an evidence-based approach that is collaborative and tailored to each client's unique needs. I have experience in the treatment of trauma, self-destructive and impulsive behaviors, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, and general stress management."

"Are you feeling stuck? Do you find yourself repeating patterns that leave you unfulfilled in your relationships or unable to make changes? I offer a safe and judgement free space where the collaborative process of guided exploration and curiosity will lead to deeper understanding, and self-acceptance. I will help you see the choices in your life so you can become an active participant in the life you want to lead. Together we will consider your family-of-origin dynamics, belief systems, and how those as well as other systems play a part in your current relationship with yourself and others."

"I put a high value on creativity, growth for its own sake, and relationship. You're likely creative and sensitive. You know suffering more than most. You've decided to follow your truth, and sometimes you go it alone. You want a safe place to talk about your experiences from your perspective. You believe your creativity and enjoyment will unfold in a supportive environment."

"Starting therapy is challenging but the process can lead to a fulfilling experience. Whether you are experiencing a crisis, or want to gain a deeper understanding of how you operate, becoming involved in therapy can broaden your life by becoming aware of unconscious influences of the past and their connection to behaviors in the present. If you're feeling unsure about therapy, give me a call and we can set up a free phone consultation."

"At times we find ourselves unhappy and stuck in unproductive and often painful patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving and relating. Through a collaborative, interactive therapeutic relationship I help people achieve greater self-understanding and self-awareness so they can change and grow, and find a way forward into happier and healthier ways of being."

"I strongly believe that therapy is a collaborative undertaking; its success largely depends on you feeling comfortable sharing with me even those feelings and concerns that are hard to talk about in general. I can offer you the warm, non-judgmental atmosphere that you will need to safely explore your experiences and I can also offer an active, engaged participation in the process of understanding what are the causes of your problems and what would lead to a considerable improvement in your situation."

"I am an interactive psychotherapist who uses a supportive relational approach through which we can address your life stressors, explore your thoughts and feelings and articulate your goals. My interest is in working with individuals to foster self-understanding and personal empowerment. Together we can address issues in your life that are troubling you as well as identifying concerns from the past or thoughts and behaviors that may be standing in the way of a more fulfilling life. I tailor my therapeutic approach to the unique needs of each patient, maintaining a belief in each individual's capacity for positive change and personal growth."

"Many people find themselves acting against their own better judgment and best interests without really knowing why. Often, this leads to problems like relationship issues, anxiety, depression, low self-confidence, anger, substance abuse, poor self-care or avoidance. The focus of my practice is to help you know yourself better - your thoughts, feelings and behavior - so you can make choices that will improve the quality of your life. I will work collaboratively with you to help you discover why you might not be reaching goals you've set for yourself and together, we will develop a plan to overcome whatever roadblocks we find."

"My specialties include depression, anxiety, early trauma, issues of loss and bereavement including life transitions - separation, divorce, marriage, changing career paths, pre-retirement."

"I am a clinical neuropsychologist, and I work with adults who are concerned with some aspect of their cognitive and/or academic functioning. Difficulties with memory, attention, reading, processing speed, language or planning/organization can impact many areas of your life. A neuropsychological evaluation can help you better understand these difficulties and learn how to minimize their effect on your day-to-day functioning."

"Dr. Pete approaches therapy from a cognitive orientation, including a variety of evidenced-based treatments while creating an open dialogue about treatment techniques and goals. It is his belief, supported in the research, that many concerns are routed in learned experiences and we can train our minds to function at the optimal envisioned level. Eastern traditions including Buddhism and Yoga have lead to the infusion of third wave cognitive and behavioral therapies into the counseling practice including Mindfulness techniques, DBT, MBCT, and ACT. Dr. Pete founded the Counseling and Wellness Center (CWC)."

"I was born and raised in northern New Jersey and trained as a psychologist in New York City's hospitals, clinics, and schools. I obtained a doctorate from NYU and I now have over 20 years experience as a clinician. I have a diverse practice and have worked with several hundred children, adolescents, and adults. I am pleased to know that people experience me as a compassionate, thoughtful, and competent professional who approaches his life's work with a sense of humor."

"After my post doc with Albert Ellis (the grandfather of cognitive behavioral therapy) I wanted to follow in his footsteps, i.e., to not only help people feel better but to help them get better. I work with each client to help them achieve their goals by getting them to identify, recognize, dispute, and eventually restructure those self-sabotaging, self-defeating beliefs, which lead to dysfunctional behaviors, and emotions. I try to use, as well as to encourage my clients to try to use, a lighthearted and flexible approach to life's adversities."

"My work focuses on facilitating the change, transformation or personal growth you seek in a safe, confidential & nonjudgmental environment. My approach to treatment emphasizes the collaborative nature of the therapeutic process. I encourage you to express your thoughts & feelings, to clarify your goals, to explore the obstacles that have held you back & to develop the strategies that support the progress you desire. I listen, reflect and use clinical methods based on my training and expertise. I believe in the interconnection of mind/body/spirit & incorporate this philosophy, using the techniques that are best suited to your aspirations & your personal style."

"As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can work to explore troubling thoughts and emotions, and begin to identify self-limiting beliefs. As you gain new insights and a greater understanding of yourself, you can start to understand the motivations behind your patterns of thinking and behavior. Self discovery and self awareness can be empowering and liberating, paving the way to making more meaningful, fulfiilling choices in your life."

"Do you ever feel like you're simply going through the motions of life but not really living? Life can be messy and leave us feeling stuck or lost. Therapy is way to work through life's challenges and regain your life. My goal is to create a non-judgmental environment and work collaboratively, focusing on the areas you want to see change. Together we will explore the interactions between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and work at modifying any unhealthy patterns that may be at the core of your problems."

"I believe that therapy is a great tool to help people manage their lives and I find that most of my clients make real progress,reduce their emotional suffering, and begin a process of self discovery that can create positive change. My practice is individualized to meet the specific needs of my clients and I am trained and experienced in the areas of depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and emotional stress due to life changes and loss. I also work with people who have weight loss issues and difficulty with emotional eating."

"Are you looking to make a change? Would you like to reach your goals and dreams? I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's Degree from Fordham University. I am also certified as a hypnotherapist. Over the last 10 years I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with a diverse group of clients. In my work I apply an integrative approach to treatment, combining talk therapy, hypnosis, meditation and energy psychology. You will have the chance to learn coping skills, such as self-hypnosis, which will help you change problematic patterns."
