An effective therapist can help you overcome difficulties and enhance your life. My name is Asya Rivinson, and I am a psychotherapist licensed in NJ and NY.

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety and related disorders using cognitive behavioral principles (CBT) with adults and teenagers.

It’s time to get joy and excitement back into your life. It's time to start showing up for yourself! I work with individuals and couples to get unstuck from negative thought patterns and behavior.

I am a clinical social worker skilled and experienced in providing individual, family and group therapy to adults, adolescents and children.

I also use Motivational Interviewing techniques to help you to achieve desired goals.

As a licensed psychotherapist in New York and New Jersey, I offer in-person and virtual sessions to individuals, couples, and families.

If you are separated or divorced, please reach out for more information on a weekly support group.

**ACCEPTING NEW REFERRALS**Are you feeling emotional pain and don't know what to do? Are you tired of feeling that way? Are you struggling with negative self-talk that impacts your relationships at home and at work, as well as self-esteem? You don't have to go through this alone. We are here to help you see and claim your GREATNESS.

I work with people who are dealing with stress, relationship issues, and family conflicts. Some are afraid they are "not good enough", or struggle with people pleasing, which comes at a great cost to themselves. There are those who have a hard time figuring out who they are and what they want in life. My job is to help you manage stress, improve relationships, find out your wants and needs, and gain more self-confidence. The first step is to get a sense of one each other, in order to gain comfort and figure out what interventions will work best.

I am dedicated to supporting the individuals I work with in addressing a range of areas including anxiety, chronic illness, grief, life transitions, family and relationship issues, and trauma. I strive to build a trusting relationship where clients can speak openly, better understand their feelings and inner experiences, and develop awareness of narratives and patterns that may be getting in the way of living a more fulfilling life.

I work with individuals that are seeking to feel more comfortable within themselves, individuals and/or families that are struggling to communicate and do not know how or where to begin. I am here to help them navigate through their self-acceptance and the acceptance of others and help them achieve a feeling of empowerment that has been lacking or has not been identified.

My approach to therapy considers that the mind and body are integral parts of a whole being. Achieving balance between these parts is an important component of the healing process and my goal is to help clients achieve this stability. Anxiety and depression can be unbearable and sometimes immobilizing; relationship problems can weaken our capacity for experiencing happiness; death, divorce and trauma can leave us hopeless and empty. My therapeutic approach strives to help client's emotional wounds heal in order to regain inner peace and improve personal growth.

Our Art Therapy practice is a special place for children, teens and adults for self discovery, emotional wellness, building self-esteem and expressing feelings.

Transitions can be so difficult for us. If you are struggling with adjusting to a major life change, such as the end of a relationship or a significant loss, I can help you work through the challenges you are having and guide you in processing your feelings. If you are having difficulty within your relationship, I can work with you either individually or as a couple to improve communication, reconnect and understand each other better. If you are feeling depressed or anxious, I work closely with you to find the most effective ways to feel better.
