"If you are struggling with feelings of depression, relationship issues, marital stress, job loss, anxiety, or other life challenges, feel free to contact me. I am a warm, respectful, experienced clinician who brings 25+ years of practice in consulting confidentially with a wide variety of people. You will find me to be open and caring and my office a safe and inviting place to talk. I am most effective with people who are thoughtful and willing to look inside themselves."

"As a therapist, I feel strongly that adolescents, children and their parents, can overcome obstacles and increase life satisfaction not only as individuals but also as families. Many of the problems, both social and academic, that children and adolescents face today stem from difficulties managing emotions. This takes shape in a variety of ways; temper tantrums and moodiness, low tolerance for frustration, hyperactivity, limited attention, poor social skills, low self-esteem, defiance of authority, lack of direction and motivation, substance use, and a decline in academics. I can assist individuals and families in developing strategies to reduce these disruptive symptoms."

"Struggling from anxiety, depression, panic, or relationship issues, among others, prevents us from attaining the quality of life we want. There are so many reasons that you may feel trapped in the present or fear the future. It is important to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable with, to really listen, and explore these issues and provide help. I provide a supportive and safe environment in which we will work together to explore, both situations and feelings that are in your way."

"It can happen in any relationship. The day-to-day grind of work, school, family and other responsibilities can cause a loss of connection. What were once minor disagreements can become a source of ever-escalating conflict. Many couples find it difficult to break the cycle and get "unstuck." I can help you. I provide compassionate, practical counseling to individuals and couples and can help you: improve communication, regain physical intimacy, recover from and affair, understand how past experiences affect present difficulties, manage parenting / step-family challenges, build trust, prevent a divorce and get a good start with premarital counseling."

"We believe that an accountable ally is one of the greatest agents of change. We welcome the opportunity to be that ally. With decades of experience working in private practice with Children, Adolescents, Adults and families, we are confident we will help you negotiate the challenges of the change process. Anxiety, Depression, Behavioral Issues, Grief, Trauma, Divorce and Hostile Domestic and abuse situations are some of the common areas of practice."

"Active listening, giving clients a lot of feedback and always focusing on the client's goals are hallmarks of my work. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience in individual, marital and family therapy. I was originally trained as a family therapist but have expanded over the years to other techniques-especially cognitive behavioral therapy. I have strong professional connections with psychiatrists if an evaluation for medication is necessary. My professional style is interactive, supportive and direct. I have a general practice with areas of specialty in depression, anxiety, eating disorders and grief work."

"Making the decision to come to therapy is not always easy. I look forward to making this a helpful experience and to building a close collaborative relationship with you. Therapy provides an opportunity to learn more about yourself and to learn how to continue moving your life in a valued direction when you are feeling stuck. Childhood and adolescence can be a difficult time. I believe in taking a compassionate and focused approach to helping each person and their family find the support to continue moving their lives in a valued direction."

"I am a seasoned family therapist, supervisor, and educator, practicing in NJ. I have worked extensively with young children and adolescents and their families on a wide variety of issues. I have taught family therapy at the graduate/institute level. I believe all problems can be helped by improving our connections with others. Children's problems are always helped by strengthening the parent/child bond especially when crises like separation, divorce, illness and death arise. My work has evolved over the past 22 years to incorporate the body as well as the mind. I specialize in Family Therapy in Action and Supervision in Action."

"My greatest reward as a therapist is helping my clients explore ways to make changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will really listen and accept us as we are, without judgment. I provide my clients with that warm, nonjudgmental environment, a safe place to explore any issues."

"Therapy is effective when there is a good match between you and your therapist. I am an active participant and will help you work through depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work-related problems or just feeling stuck in non-productive patterns of behavior. I provide a warm, nonjudgemental and confidential space where you can make sense of your problem, thoughts and feelings to develop a better understanding of yourself and have more satisfying relationships."

"As a psychologist in private practice for many years, I have a wealth of experience and training. This allows me - within the framework of a humanistic psychology approach - to tailor the therapy to the individual client. So depending on the client's present needs and situation, I provide a therapeutic approach most likely to meet the client's goals. Additionally I want to mention that I have extensively practiced group therapy and published a great deal on that modality, so I consider it my major subspecialty in an otherwise general practice."

"I specialize in providing creative art therapy services to children, adolescents and adults and am dedicated to helping my clients discover their own unique path to happiness and wellbeing. Words alone often cannot express the emotions experienced for many people who are struggling to overcome trauma or challenges in life. By combining traditional psychotherapeutic theories and techniques with the creative process, art therapy can provide opportunities to explore behaviors, emotions, experiences and our relationships with each other. In working with trauma-affected children, I incorporate play, sensitivity and caring throughout the therapeutic process."

"I view psychotherapy as a colloborative process. I work with clients to help them make important changes in their lives or to overcome difficult life circumstances and obstacles. I strive to understand each client as a unique individual and to build upon the inherent strengths that the person brings to therapy. My practice style is client focused--I am primarily interested in helping you achieve the goals you have for therapy. Our relationship is critical to the success of the work we do."

"Prefer help from a therapist who is also a part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender community? Or worried that most therapists will not truly understand you or that you will have to censor yourself in therapy? I had these same concerns and they motivated me to become a psychotherapist and life coach who could help others like me. Whether you are looking for short-term solutions or more in-depth therapy, we will work together in a safe and relaxing environment to discover and actualize the solutions you need in order to live a more fulfilling life."

"The relationship between a client and their therapist is a strong predictor of a successful therapeutic experience. I strive to provide a warm, supportive environment where each individual feels heard and respected while they move towards a greater understanding of their own concerns and solutions to problems. I use an eclectic approach based on the needs of each individual. My background includes extensive training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and family therapy. I work with adults, children, adolescents and families from diverse cultural backgrounds."

"I am a Licensed Family Therapist with over 35 years of experience. Over time, I developed various ways to help people solve problems, together. I work with couples, or whole families, and with children and adolescents. I have a strong belief that even painful or difficult things can be addressed constructively. I have a variety of methods to reach that goal. I utilize experiential, narrative, structural, constructivist, or insight oriented approaches, individually tailored to each situation. I have a special fondness for teenagers, and a unique approach to parenting issues."

"Everyone faces adversity in their lives, but with the right coping skills and support, one can learn to move through life feeling healthy, happy and whole. A therapist can offer the trust, connection, time and attention necessary to help their client achieve his or her personal goals, whether it's learning to break free from a cycle of anxiety and/or depression, dealing with loss, struggling with self-esteem or dealing with an eating disorder. The therapeutic relationship can be a corrective experience, allowing clients to take what is learned in therapy and use it in everyday relationships and experiences."

"I am a psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience treating children, adolescents and adults. My approach is warm and non judgmental. Together we will work on creating a space that feels safe and where thoughts and feelings are validated.
