CogniCare= Caring for your thoughts. Here at Cognicare we believe that caring for your mental health is imperative. Whether you're motivated and ready to work on a specific goal or introspective and curious about further exploring yourself, mental health therapy may be right for you. Our therapists are multiculturally competent and identity affirming. We are interested in helping you to navigate the complexities of life and it's impact on your overall functioning. Our practice may be right for you if: you identify as a minority/multiple minorities (female, race other than Caucasian, member of the LGBTQ+ community, etc.), if you are struggling with your sexual orientation or gender identity or just want to further unpack in this area, if you are a parent of a child who identifies with the LGBTQ+ community, if you are a parent in general, couples (including LGBTQ+ couples and non-conventional relationships), if you are struggling to afford mental health care, and/or if you are just someone who would like to prioritize their mental health.
We are a local group mental health practice that provides individual therapy to adults, children/teens and couples through cognitive behavioral therapy (check out our website for info on CBT). We currently specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, the Gottman couples method, minority stress issues and parenting support. We will support you in developing the sense of peace that you deserve. We operate from a social justice perspective and will offer special rates/ payment plans to those in financial distress.If you'd like to get in touch with us, feel free to email us at info@cognicarepsych.com or call the office at 908-800-9590.
