Therapists in South Orange, NJ

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of anxiety and related disorders using cognitive behavioral principles (CBT) with adults and teenagers. Problems treated include panic disorder, OCD, social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety, trauma, specific phobias and depression. I frequently work with families and couples to address the impact of these difficulties on relationships, and collaborate with other treating professionals (e.g., psychiatrists, pediatricians, general physicians). My approach includes helping patients reach both insight as well as behavioral change for lasting and meaningful improvement.

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.

Tema Therapy is a multi-lingual Center created to serve the various needs of people and families who consider being multi-cultural or multi-lingual as a part of their identity. The founder of this facility, Dr. Irina Volynsky, had multiple experiences of being asked to evaluate or work in therapy with children and adults whose native language was not English, who were misdiagnosed, and were not receiving appropriate help. Upon further consideration, the barrier presented was not only about the language but also about the different cultural context in which norm and pathology were understood differently.
