Are you struggling in the workplace and/or with your relationships ? I am a skilled licensed psychologist and I work with children and adults within the context of their families. I treat anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD , mood disorders and learning disabilities, and often use cognitive behavioral interventions such as systematic desensitization. My background in School Psychology has sensitized me to the impact that cognitive limitations, learning disabilities, ADHD and spectrum disorders have on day to day functioning in adulthood, where the most typical presenting problems are Anxiety, Depression, and Relationship issues.

We sometimes need help navigating life's challenges, whether they occur at home, in school, or in the workplace. Other times you just need someone to listen. Resolving adversity requires trust, resilience and coping mechanisms. Learning to identify triggers and stressors, focus on strengths, and work collaboratively to address concerns in a safe and judgement-free space, can help to produce positive change.

I have 10 years of experience working with children and teens ranging from preschool aged to high school as a School Social Worker. Through my career, I have developed a strong passion to not only advocate for individuals, but to also incorporate wellness and mindfulness into my practice.

Effective counseling, like effective parenting and teaching, involves understanding where someone is at in their growth process and providing them with a safe space and the supports essential to move to the next level. Developmentalists refer to this as "scaffolding". Like scaffolding for a building, these external supports are specific and put in place to allow for expansion and strengthening. Now, think about your favorite mentor or coach. It is likely that they provided support and encouragement that was a good match for you. As a counselor, I provide these supports, assisting my clients in reaching their greatest potential.

Are you ready? I am here to help you try something different and make a change. I am a Clinical Psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults coping with depression, anxiety, behavioral difficulties, relationship troubles and other difficulties. I earned my doctorate from St. John's University and BA from NYU. I interned at Bellevue Hospital/NYU Child Study Center and ran a program at NY-Presbyterian Hospital. I understand how difficult it is to make the decision to begin therapy and find a good fit with someone with whom you can feel comfortable.

I specialize in both clinical psychology and neuropsychology with extensive experience treating adolescents and adults with psychiatric disabilities, anxiety, depression, couples and marital conflict, and geriatric issues. I also provide neuropsychological assessment of older children, adolescents and adults dealing with a host of issues including ADD, specific learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury, and dementia. I have an extensive background in vocational rehabilitation and can provide related assistance via evaluation and recommendations, related counseling and linkage to relevant services.

My work as a clinical psychologist has grown out of my interest in the interplay of how we develop, what we experience, and how we make our way through our challenges. My commitment in the therapeutic process is to a thoughtful understanding of how your experiences have brought you to this point and what the underlying causes of difficulty in your life are. Through our collaboration we work in an atmosphere of respect to deepen that understanding, reduce distress, create better ways of coping, promote healing, and structure changes that allow for greater balance and the possibility of joy.

Everyday life can be messy and even overwhelming at times. It can be especially difficult to navigate when we feel, anxious, confused, unmotivated, or frustrated. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey. I would like to congratulate you for seeking counseling as it can be challenging to do so. I offer in person and Telehealth counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, families, groups, and couples.

Feeling an emptiness or lack of purpose in your life? Do you experience bouts of sadness, anxiety, worry? Are you having difficulty in relationships with your spouse, children? Is your child experiencing behavioral issues, learning problems, executive functioning issues? I am a Licensed Social Worker with 28 years experience working with families, adolescents, and adults. I also have experience as a school social worker and a member of a child study team.

Every child and parent has a unique set of strengths and experiences. Making home and school happy, safe and successful for you and your child requires harnessing existing skills, building new strengths, and carefully navigating challenges. I bring a holistic approach to help you and your child foster positive social, emotional, and behavioral well-being across settings.

Accepting new clients! I am here to help. I utilize a holistic approach in working with clients, which encompasses components of cognitive behavior theory, trauma-informed interventions, positive behavioral supports and solution-focused methods. I believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and strive to provide a safe environment for clients to feel validated, understood, and more capable of moving forward through life’s challenges. Clinical areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, trauma, loss/grief, parenting, life transitions, relationship issues, school avoidance, LGBTQ community, and learning disabilities.

Dr. LaBode-Richman is dually trained and specialized in psychotherapy treatment and neuropsychological assessment. She enjoys working with clients across the lifespan and is able to offer state-of-the-art services in both English and Spanish.

I have been working with children and adolescents in school settings for over 20 years, first as a Special Education Teacher and then as a School Counselor. Through this work, I helped my adolescents and young adults develop executive functioning skills, organizational skills, and goal setting to help them transition into their future endeavors. Now, as a Student Assistance Counselor, I work with adolescents in a high school supporting their mental health needs and substance abuse issues. As a LPC, my goal is to help my clients explore the root of their distress, identify needs and wants and work toward a more balanced life.

Teens are experiencing anxiety and depression at an increased rate. The pressures of school, friendships, and social media are overwhelming. You are noticing that your teen is irritable, withdrawn, expressing excessive worry or sadness, and having difficulty managing their emotions. Communication between you and your teen is tense or non-existent. My goal in therapy is to help your teen identify their emotions and develop coping strategies to improve their emotional-well being. I work to quickly build rapport with your teen so that they feel comfortable to speak about their problems and feelings.

My orientation to psychotherapy is to approach every session as a creative undertaking, whether it is with an individual or a group, a couple or a family, a child, an adolescent, or an adult. This is true for every stage of the treatment process, beginning with engagement and problem clarification, with developing a working relationship based on trust, and moving constructively forward in relation to established objectives. The process of each session involves engaging purposefully to facilitate problem resolution, newness, and growth. When appropriate the course of treatment can be as brief as three sessions.

I am Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years experience in the mental health field. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, autism spectrum, and ADHD. I work with children, teens and adults. When appropriate I also treat couples and families as a whole. My patients describe me as "down-to-earth" and consistently responsive to their imput. I will tell you exactly what I think, however I will do so in a constructive and tactful manner. I look forward to meeting with you.
