Hi, my name is Dr. Nadia Huq. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families. Previously, I worked as a psychologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s Pediatric Psychiatry Department for 7 years. While I am primarily trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), my therapeutic approach integrates multiple modalities to address an individual’s treatment goals. I often collaborate with schools and additional treatment providers in order to provide comprehensive care for my clients.

We all want what’s best for ourselves, children, and others. You may notice a change over time for either you or your child “not feeling like my usual self” and not handling things in the same way at home, work, school, or in interactions with others. If you have ever felt like you do not know what to do or say therapy can be a place to work through feelings, thoughts, and situations that you have tried your hardest and best to respond to but feel at a loss or stuck. Therapy can help with sorting out why these changes have occurred in order to be able to move forward and feel like you are “back on track” and “in a better place”.

In my work with children, adolescents and adults, I attempt to create a warm, peaceful and engaging environment. I work with individuals and groups with a variety of emotional, behavioral and social issues. In addition to considering the individual needs of a client, my approach to treatment also accounts for the support structure a client has in place. Particularly in my work with children, I often find parents and school professionals to be crucial partners in the process of therapy. In addition, many years of experience working within schools, makes me a strong advocate for parents and students who are struggling to succeed in their school environment.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years experience located in Montclair, New Jersey. I offer a range of therapeutic approaches depending on your needs. Together we will target the issues that bring you into therapy and seek solutions in a timely manner.

Life is complicated and ever-changing. The good news is that there are endless possibilities in overcoming the obstacles that are thrown our way. Keeping a growth mindset and an unshakeable sense of hope can be difficult in tough times, but entirely possible. Working collaboratively in a safe and nurturing environment, we can identify the root cause of your suffering and the most effective interventions. It’s time to fully embrace your fulfilling and purposeful life!

My approach gets measurable results. I teach my clients about their mental health challenge, and they then implement strategies that reduce their symptoms. I am friendly and easy-going, and I love finding creative ways to help clients increase their resiliency, confidence, and self-compassion. My goal is to guide clients in identifying, evaluating, and reframing their negative thoughts, and cultivating behavioral practices that are more supportive and enduring. Motivated clients find CBT extremely helpful because learning about how their brain processes emotions enables them to manage those emotions.

Therapy can offer a way to process emotions that may be painful or uncomfortable and learn how to cope with overwhelm in a safe and supportive environment. Whatever brought you to this page, I welcome you for taking this step. Whether you are experiencing anxious feelings, stress, overwhelm, sadness, anger, lack of motivation, fatigue, or just generally feeling as if something is off, we will work together with and through these emotions. I encourage you to commit to yourself to explore the parts of you that need tending to.

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.

I assist parents in becoming "on the same page" regarding their children and I help caregivers to review their own parenting styles.

I believe the creative process, inherent in everyone, can be used as a meaningful tool to help individuals develop personal insight and self- awareness. My clients are guided and supported to use art materials and the creative process to develop symbols and metaphors in their resulting art work which produces the vehicle for expression and communication. Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness are also used in treatment.

Are you struggling in the workplace and/or with your relationships ? I am a skilled licensed psychologist and I work with children and adults within the context of their families. I treat anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD , mood disorders and learning disabilities, and often use cognitive behavioral interventions such as systematic desensitization. My background in School Psychology has sensitized me to the impact that cognitive limitations, learning disabilities, ADHD and spectrum disorders have on day to day functioning in adulthood, where the most typical presenting problems are Anxiety, Depression, and Relationship issues.
