Anxiety Therapists in Old Bridge, NJ

Hello! I'm Liam, a Licensed Social Worker from Australia who is dedicated to helping individuals on their journey towards becoming their best selves. While my work focus is on the serious mental health community, though I specialize in working with individuals dealing with anxiety and depression, I also work with a wide range of populations and experiences.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship or identity issues or the complex emotional impact of loss and trauma? Maybe you are one of countless neurodivergent individuals attempting to blend into our largely neurotypical world, experiencing the stress, anxiety and complications that go with it. Each of these stressors can impact our ability to be fully present in our lives; causing us to feel pain, hopelessness and isolation. The good news is that you don’t need to navigate this alone. You can heal and you can grow. My goal is to help you define your vision of health and happiness then help you to achieve it.

My ideal client is actively contemplating making changes in their life. They are prepared to discuss, explore, and process their trauma history and to find meaning in their experiences. They are able to work towards identifying how they would like to see their quality of life change (for example, reduce and better manage anxiety) and are prepared to take the necessary steps to do so. Additionally, the client can tolerate being challenged when their thinking or behaviors are inconsistent with their goals.

Are you struggling to find the words to express what you're feeling? Does it feel like something is "off" or "just doesn't feel right"? Do you want to do something about it but don't know where to start? Sometimes we find ourselves facing challenges that we've never encountered that leave us feeling "stuck." Major life changes can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed or numb. Therapy can improve your self-esteem, lead to feelings of empowerment, and help you obtain a better understanding of yourself.

My ideal client is the client that has an idea of what they want in life but is overwhelmed with life stressors such as anxiety and depression. This client needs a safe space to explore their life options and the triggers that are causing negative thinking patterns, self-doubt, and low self-confidence. This client needs support, encouragement, and a non-judgmental approach to achieve their goals.

Are you struggling with emotional issues? Are life's stresses becoming overwhelming for you to handle on your own? You should not suffer alone. In my practice of individual, couple and family therapy, I use psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral and family systems approaches to empower you so that you make better choices in order to solve life's problems.

My ideal client is prepared to initiate changes in their life to promote wellness. They are prepared to process internal and external contributors to their mood, discuss options for improvement, and practice healthier skills that will assist in achieving their personal goals. My ideal client is internally motivated and desires emotional balance from concerns such as anxiety, depression, impaired self-esteem, trauma, and interpersonal conflict. They arrive to treatment with goals in mind, and will actively work to experience relief of distressing symptoms.

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety due to life changes and transitions or they might be experiencing symptoms of anxiety for the first time and be concerne as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

Taking the first step to attend therapy can be nerve wrecking and intimidating but can also demonstrate great insight and self-empowerment. My belief and intention in providing therapy is to collaboratively work with individuals to meet their unique needs and to develop a healthy and positive sense of self in order to accomplish personal goals. I also believe the therapeutic process is most effective when a strong therapeutic relationship is established; therefore, I provide an empathic, supportive, open, direct, and nonjudgmental environment with some humor mixed in when appropriate.

Support is here; don't delay...I strive to provide an environment that advocates compassion, support, and understanding. My goal is to help resolve conflict by offering strategies and techniques to promote change while helping you feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I utilize various approaches, including solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral techniques. I provide therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I offer services to support you with including, but not limited to, stress, sadness, and anxiety. I would enjoy speaking with you further so that I may answer any questions.

Anxiety has hijacked your life. You’re really good at imagining the worst case scenario. Your mind is excellent at anticipating the future, and at replaying things that have already happened. You question whether you are good enough and often feel self-conscious. You overthink everything. And your body buys in to this story – heart racing, shallow breathing, your stomach in knots. All of this worry is overwhelming. It impacts almost every aspect of your life. It prevents you from doing what you want to do, from living the way you want to live. Your life is becoming smaller and smaller … AND YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH.
