Working with a professional when life gets challenging can make the challenges you face a little less overwhelming. I provide therapy to adults, adolescents, and children. I collaborate with clients to understand and motivate anyone who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, personality disorders, or transitional periods. I work with clients who have diverse backgrounds. I also work well with men and anyone who might be apprehensive about beginning counseling.

Are you thinking about making a change? Are you fighting anxiety or racing thoughts? Do you want a healthier relationship with food and your body? Are you thinking about setting a new goal? If so, I can help you take your struggles and turn them into strengths. I work with children, adolescents, and young adults facing a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, social and performance stressors, and school avoidance. I am particularly passionate about helping young people and their families navigating eating disorders, substance use disorders, and addictive behaviors.

I firmly believe that life is easier lived when lived in relationship. In relationship, we can receive support, understanding, growth, and acceptance, making difficult life experiences much more bearable. We find and make relationships in so many domains; at home, with friends, in communities, and even with a therapist. That is why I think finding a therapist you feel safe with is so important.

I specialize in treating problems related to anxiety and depression using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I help clients develop healthier thinking patterns and relationships, while also teaching concrete coping skills designed to help you address the specific areas that you want to work on.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of adults suffering from anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, & substance abuse difficulties. I work from an evidence-based framework with emphasis on mindfulness practice, acceptance of difficult internal experiences, and valued-based living to increase quality of life. This approach to treatment is known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT proposes that painful human experiences and life's struggles are all inevitable, and teaches how to learn acceptance of inevitable human difficulties and continuing to live a rich and meaningful life.

Hi. My name is Nicole Purwin, and I’m an LCSW licensed in the state of NJ. I have over 20 years of experience working in mental health with a multitude of clientele and their loved ones. I am a graduate of both Fordham University and Rutgers University. In my practice and artistry, I strive to provide a therapeutic safe space where all clients truly feel seen, heard and non-judged. I integrate my style and treatment dependent upon each individual and their wants/needs.

Clients come to me for relief of symptoms of anxiety and depression, and to learn to process how trauma or complex trauma may be impacting their lives today and how to move forward from it. They also seek to gain insight into why they do what they do, to improve their agency or control over their own lives, to learn how to recognize and deal with feelings, to build their self-esteem and to find more pleasure and serenity in their lives. As we work towards the goals clients become ready and willing to make the real behavioral changes that will make a positive difference in their lives.

Many of my clients come into treatment with clear goals, such as finding ways to cope with anxiety, improving the quality of their relationships, or shifting their patterns of disordered eating, whereas others may be less sure of their goals but know that something feels "off" in their life. Our work will start with a thorough assessment and exploratory goal setting to help identify our focus areas. We will then work collaboratively to identify interventions that are most effective for them, such as learning targeted coping skills, identifying and shifting interpersonal patterns, or increasing insight into thoughts and emotions.

If you struggle with anxiety or depression, it's likely that you ruminate often, engage in self-criticism, and avoid activities you wish you could enjoy. I provide therapy that combines a warm, accepting style with counseling expertise. I am certified in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and integrate other approaches to match my client's needs. I will use my skills to help you change self-defeating thinking and behavior, manage difficult emotions, and deal more effectively with the obstacles that keep you from being your best self. I'll work with you to develop a personalized plan for therapy and map out positive steps forward.

It goes without saying that these have been trying times. With the stresses, losses, and fatigue brought on by the pandemic, and anxieties and uncertainty about the future, many of our daily routines have given way to depression, anxiety, tension with others, and unhealthy coping. Psychotherapy can provide the support needed to improve how you feel and function by reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms, reducing excess drinking or substance use, increasing awareness and skills in personal interactions, and improving your overall outlook on life.

As humans, we tend to avoid our more difficult and complex emotions in hopes that they will disappear. However, it is more often the case that the feelings we turn inward find their way out, and sometimes in a less-than-ideal way. Therapy is a unique space to explore the parts of you that tend to stay hidden. It is a space to “look beneath the hood” to understand more fully who you are and "why" you are. With this newfound insight, we can explore ways for you to engage more fully in your life and relationships, dig into your sense of purpose, and reconnect with (or discover for the first time) feelings of stillness and joy.

There are days that your mood takes over and you find yourself feeling alone and overwhelmed by the lack of understanding from those around you. You feel as though you are always misunderstood, stuck in negative situations, and you do not have anyone that can support your desire for change. Therapy can help provide insight, self reflection and awareness of patterns that inhibit personal growth.With the right support and guidance, healing and change are possible.

If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, irritability or loneliness, you are clearly not alone, given how many therapists there are here! As a psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, I practice a powerful mindfulness-based intervention called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Often psychological pain has more to do with how we fight and judge our thoughts and feelings, and we end up in an exhausting internal struggle that we cannot win. We will work together to explore this struggle, gain distance from it, and learn skills and strategies to reduce impact and influence on your life.

My name is Carlo and I am a licensed clinical social worker. My therapeutic approach is to actively listen to gain an understanding of you as a whole person. This is done with the goal of attaining an awareness not only of the issues you face but the strengths you possess which can be tapped into to help enact a collaboratively-developed and individualized plan of action that facilitates reaching your short and long term mental health and personal goals. Depending on the needs and goals of the client, I typically use interventions based in Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic and Solution Focused therapies.

You have tried everything you could to feel better, but you’ve reached the point where you need some extra help. The anxiety, depression, and/or trauma that are weighing on you daily has started to impact your job or school performance and relationships. You are feeling burnt out. Therapy may be new to you and it’s common to feel nervous about starting the process. We can work together and create a plan to help you manage and decrease stress. I will teach you healthy skills to use for coping, communication, reframing thoughts, and changing behaviors. I can help you feel empowered so that you are more in control of your life.

Starting therapy can be a daunting experience. Reaching out for support takes courage and is the ultimate commitment to yourself and wellbeing. I will strive to make your process less daunting by offering an accepting and supportive space where you can meet your mental health needs.

Have you recently experienced a difficult event or struggled for years with unexplained panic or anger without relief? My goal as a therapist is to serve clients who are looking for a guide and ally to lead them toward improved emotional health, better relationships, and life satisfaction. If you are ready to make a change or at least willing to explore the possibilities that therapy can offer then relief is possible.

There is little in this life I have found more uplifting then helping people overcome challenges and return to experiencing life in the present moment, where there is true peace, joy, and stillness. I believe in the power of each individual to take control of their lives and in doing so - accomplish their goals, feel happy, present and alive. We all benefit from connecting to a trusted source we can share deeply personal things with, opening ourselves in vulnerable ways with no risk of judgment. I take great pride in being that person for many and am blessed to do this work. This is my gift and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Do you want to feel better about yourself and your life? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or other difficulties? I can help you to start to feel less distressed. Clients tell me that I am easy to talk with. I establish a safe, trustworthy relationship in which you can be yourself and express your deepest fears and concerns. You can learn new ways to manage your overwhelming feelings. We will reduce painful feelings, look at self-defeating thoughts and behaviors, improve communication skills, identify and make life-transforming choices, and work together on developing the happiness you deserve in your life.
