Therapists in West New York, NJ

Are you someone whose life looks “good” from the outside, and yet it still feels like something is missing? You’ve accomplished a lot in life, but don’t feel the sense of fulfillment you expected. A big life change—maybe a breakup, new job, new marriage, change in family dynamic, or move—has highlighted the fact that you’re still not as happy or content as you want to be. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift (even if you’re not quite sure what it is). You want to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to change your “default setting” and start creating new patterns in your life.

I have been helping clients realize their full potential in a caring and supportive atmosphere for over 20 years. Most of my time has been spent in private practice in Hoboken, NJ. I believe in tailoring my approach to the client, keeping in mind what techniques are most successful for specific issues. My style is feedback oriented as I believe meaningful interaction is critical to success for the client. I offer individual, marriage/couples, and family psychotherapy utilizing a solution-oriented approach. My areas of specialty are depression, anxiety, relationships and grief counseling.

I believe that therapy is a partnership! There are times in our lives when we need to get an empathetic, objective, and professional perspective for the many challenges life brings our way. I have been working with people just like yourself, in the process of healing, for over 15 years.

My psychoanalytic training and my 20 years work experience has taught me the importance of understanding the full individual and his/her own unique experience in the world. In therapy, I provide a supportive environment that focuses on symptom-reduction while also exploring underlying roots of emotional discomfort. I encourage self-exploration, emotional processing and self-acceptance. I believe in helping clients understand how their past experiences impacts their lives, and in utilizing the therapeutic relationship to foster clients' growth and self-fulfillment. I find psychotherapy to be powerful and exciting and I consider it a privilege to help people strive for their potential.

In the past 11 years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and families in a therapeutic partnership. Making the decision to focus on oneself and start working with a therapist can be life-changing and I applaud you for taking the time to focus on yourself. Therapy can be enlightening and help create positive and lasting changes. But it can also be intimidating when starting this process. This is why the therapeutic relationship is so important. As a therapist, it is my goal to work with you to help you unlock your greatness and move past any barriers that are holding you back.

Taking this step is likely a daunting and courageous one for you. I offer a safe, supportive environment in which to help you deal with difficult problems. No matter what the struggles are, I will actively listen and help you build self-awareness so that we may find ways to help you cope with problems and live in a way you feel better about. I work with people from all walks of life who struggle with anxiety, depression, relational/marital issues, postpartum, parenting and substance use disorders, to name a few.

Are you feeling disconnected from your partner? Haunted by your past? Or caught in a family feud? Let me help! My name is Rosa Gomez. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Cora Psychotherapy. When starting my practice, the mission was to shift away from simply treating symptoms of an issues and, instead, to go deeper, tackling the heart of the matter in order to promote true, lasting insight and healing for clients. I work with couples, individuals, and families. I specialize in working with multicultural populations, but I do work with all races and cultures.

If you are reading this, you are looking to make changes in your life. The three areas where I can help you make the changes you are looking for, even if you do not yet know the specifics yourself, are changing how you feel, changing specific behaviors, and changing patterns of thought. I like to work quickly and honestly, but I will tailor your therapy to your individual needs. What this means is that you will be given a safe and judgment free space in which to examine and execute the changes that will lead to a happier and more enjoyable life.
