Have you found that talking and talking about your problems does nothing to make them go away? You are not alone. My goal as a psychotherapist is to collaborate with you—to unlock access to your emotions and help you gain new awareness of the unconscious forces that shape your life. We’ll work together to discover what resources you already possess to heal yourself.

There are many things in life that can prevent us from moving forward and reaching our potential. My work focuses on your current struggles and finding ways to overcome them at your own pace in a safe environment. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is the most important element in this process. I look at each client as someone with unique needs and I will utilize whatever approach will be most effective and in your best interest.

Tired of analyzing, re-analyzing and over-analyzing, but never getting anywhere? Feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed? Do you find yourself constantly resorting to the "quick fix" and/or negative patterns of behavior? My practice offers a unique blend of PSYCHOTHERAPY & COACHING where enhanced insight/self-awareness are accompanied by an "action plan." -Designed for the "do-ers," -versus those who prefer to "talk about doing," my practice promotes forward movement through the development of greater self-esteem/self-confidence, enhanced coping skills, improved problem-solving strategies, and a core belief that one CAN achieve stated personal, relationship & career-based goals.

I have experience working with people from many different backgrounds facing many different kinds of challenges.

Hi, I'm Evan. A trained mental health counselor disguised as a regular person you can just talk to. Sliding scale available, particularly for afternoon appointments. See full profile for current availability. I have worked with an array of people and issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress management, health improvement, and more. I take a person-centered, collaborative approach to our work together. Ultimately, I believe that you know best what you need and want. I'm here to help facilitate that process so that we can reach your life goals.

If you have been traumatized in the past, by a relationship, an incident, an accident, something that seems unforgivable and unmanageable to you, even now, I can help. If you find yourself worrying about who you are and where you are going in life, and worried that you will NEVER change I can help. I can help by helping you to get to know yourself, sometimes for the very first time, and by helping you to begin to treasure yourself, first for surviving, and eventually for learning to flourish, through good times and bad.

I specialize in: 1) working with adults, particularly those who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, social phobias, panic attacks, trauma, abuse, procrastination, habits, addictions, eating disorders, relationship/boundary problems, and trouble managing day-to-day tasks under stress, 2) families and couples, 3) mothers and their babies, together in the therapy room.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity for connection, growth, and change. In my work as a therapist, I aim to create an environment that respects the uniqueness of each individual and allows them to feel secure and understood. Over the years, I have worked with individuals striving to create significant change in their lives - to develop more satisfying relationships, a greater sense of purpose, and the confidence to recognize their own strengths. It has been an incredible privilege to be a part of this process and it has taught me that the potential for transformation is truly limitless.

Asking for help is not easy, so congratulations on taking the first step toward self-improvement and fulfillment. Through our partnership, I hope to help you better understand yourself in terms of how you function in your personal relationships, and help you see patterns that may be causing distress. My style is one that primarily focuses on empathy and insight. Though talking about issues that come up in therapy may initially be difficult, with time you will notice you are seeing yourself in a new light, and that you are able to accomplish positive change.

As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I focus on helping patients develop the tools to continue to manage their symptoms and difficulties on their own. I provide evidence-based treatments demonstrated to be effective for the presenting problems of the individual patient. My approach is time-limited. I define success as being able to facilitate improvement and help my clients reach their goals in as few sessions as possible. If you are interested in a focused, collaborative approach to therapy, call me for a consultation.

If you're feeling burnt out, stuck, or hopeless, I want you to know that there is support available to you. I will work with you to break free from patterns that feel unhelpful or hurtful by utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) in a collaborative approach. I will assist you in finding empowerment within yourself and your life. I am LGBTQIA-friendly and work with adults of all ages who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, impulsivity, or relationship issues. 

Perhaps, the two of you simply can't communicate, or you have just had a useless fight. You may have even thought of divorce. You know you don't want that. Maybe one of you has a job requiring travel or late hours. The time left goes to your kids. In the middle of the night, you realize you are losing each other. Imagine having the tools resolve fights before they end up in the kitchen sink or the attack-blame dance. You want to feel your partner respects you.and will have your back. Regain the freedom to laugh.

If you are dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, depressive thoughts, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts or compulsive behavior, it is likely you're feeling "maxed out" and worried about how you can deal with the stress, let alone whether your work and personal relationships can survive as well. These issues can create great suffering and a sense of isolation. I developed my private practice with the knowledge of how helpful quality therapy can be. I chose to become a licensed psychologist after working in other industries and educational systems; those experiences ignited my determination to professionally help others.

Above all, therapy is a place to be your real, authentic self. I support clients experiencing a range of life challenges by fostering a safe, trusting environment where they can develop self-compassion as they gain insight about current life situations, contextualize the impact of past experiences, and develop clarity on future goals. Through the use of highly effective evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will create strategies for empowering you to take control of your thoughts and behaviors, and let go of the negative patterns that no longer serve you.

In a world full of unpredictability, change, and painful experiences, we all struggle. In the face of the many factors that are out of our control, understanding ourselves is critical to taking ownership over our own lives and well-being. As a therapist, I can help you to: acclimate during/after major life transitions or trauma, recognize and change patterns that aren’t working for you, and identify coping skills. I am especially passionate about helping young people with: exploring their identities, developing self-acceptance and compassion, and cultivating a fulfilling life.

Once you have made the decision to seek therapy, the next step is to find the "best fit" therapist for you. My goal as a clinical psychologist is to assist each client on his/her journey to personal success. I've helped people make positive and meaningful changes in their lives by assisting them to work through feelings and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Thus assisting clients to create and maintain the life they desire. My areas of interest and expertise include, but are not limited to, mood and anxiety disorders and borderline personality disorder.

I don't believe in diagnostic labeling; yet we don't waste time reinventing the wheel. The personal issues you want to confront and resolve in therapy and the unique ways in which you are stuck call upon my creativity, long, varied professional experience of theories and methods--from Freud to object relations to body work--and life experience of other cultures and modalities to find new ways for you to healthily move forward.

For me, therapy is about lasting change. I have a collaborative and introspective approach that is shaped by experience, empathy, curiosity, and respect. We'll work together so that you can find your own creative solutions to best live your life. Together, we will explore your life stories and examine the relationship of those stories to how you are living in the present and your desires for the future. Feeling connected, understood, and listened to is vital to success in treatment. It is that process that empowers you to reach aspired levels of purpose, productivity and fulfillment.

TELEHEALTH AVAILABLE, WHITEHOUSE STATION, NJ OPEN I work with clients who seek to improve relationships, are coping with work-related stressors, suffer from anxiety, depression, traumatic histories, and chronic illness. We work together to improve what is possible and to accept what isn't possible. While being "positive" has its benefits, there are times one must be realistic and allow negative emotions -- to learn to cope with sadness, anger, and disappointment. Clients often feel shame about their struggles; I seek to eliminate shame, help clients accept their humanity and vulnerability as well as their strengths
