On the fence about therapy? Ask for the first session free, to see if it's right for you, no commitment. IPG has around 30 therapists, with 400+ years combined experience, in 3 offices throughout NJ (Jersey City, Highland Park, Freehold). Since 1983 we've combined compassionate care with high-level expertise. We see individuals, couples, families, adults, children and adolescents, from every walk of life. Our large and diverse clinical staff means we cover practically every specialty, population, mental health issue, and form of treatment there is, and chances are we can accommodate your schedule, location, and other needs.
Along with more common issues like depression, anxiety, and life stress, our clinical staff has a wide range of more niche specialties and expertise. We work with PTSD/trauma (including EMDR), anger management, couples/marriage and family counseling, eating disorders, LGBTQ+ issues, trans/non-binary/GNC youth and adults, ketamine therapy, EMDR, and more.
Don't be afraid to reach out. Our staff will listen to your needs and find the right therapist for you. We will check your insurance, and if you have out-of-network coverage, we will bill them directly. If you're not sure therapy is the right choice at this chapter of your life, we'll give you the first session free so you can try it out with no commitment.

Groups
Mens Sexual Health: Out of Control Sexual Behavior
IPG is the only organization in New Jersey to run a group for men who suffer from 'sex and porn addiction' - out of control sexual behavior. Run by trained certified sex therapists, the group is an alternative to Twelve Step groups. Group participants define their own sexual health program, and the group focuses on shame reduction and peer support for healthy behaviors. If your sexual behavior or pornography viewing is excessive or compulsive, this group can help you.
