Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in Cedar Grove, NJ

Hi, my name is Dr. Nadia Huq. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families. Previously, I worked as a psychologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s Pediatric Psychiatry Department for 7 years. While I am primarily trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), my therapeutic approach integrates multiple modalities to address an individual’s treatment goals. I often collaborate with schools and additional treatment providers in order to provide comprehensive care for my clients.

We have an outpatient Trauma Program for Adults. We also offer individual therapy from varying theoretical orientations.

Sometimes life can become overwhelming and people need a place to come to find comfort and understanding. I provide a supportive and accepting atmosphere. I work very well with children and adolescents with a variety of social and emotional difficulties. I additionally provide treatment to adults and teens suffering from mood disorders, family conflict, and sexual orientation concerns.

Change is not only scary, it is difficult. The laws of inertia tell us that nothing will change without an external force. I am an empathic, calming and listening external force. Whether it is depression or anxiety from a life transition/event or past/present trauma, reaching out for support is essential. My motto is simple but true- Be heard. Feel better.

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.

Dr. Dobbs is an accomplished clinical psychologist with over fifteen years of experience between teaching and clinical work. She specializes in working with children, teens, and adults and has worked across various settings, including private practice, school, residential, and community mental health. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in the gold standard of treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which provides faster, more effective results. With children and teens, she goes beyond the traditional confines of therapy by harnessing their natural creativity, integrating art, music, games, journaling, and other creative outlets.

My goal is to create a safe space where everyone can feel heard and validated. I have experience treating depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, and transitional issues. I have a passion for working with adolescents, both individually and with their families. Adolescence can be a challenging times for families and I believe in creating an open environment for encouraging both communication and the acceptance of needed privacy. I have extensive training and experience in systemic family therapy. This means that I am able to treat not only the individual, but also the entire family of origin, where appropriate.

Over the past 42 years, I have devoted my practice to the treatment of people who want to feel happier with themselves, their relationships with their children, spouses, or family of origin. Many times people suffer from low self esteem, anxiety and depression. Parents come in with issues around their adolescent's behavior. Adults wish to improve how they communicate to their spouses, or would like to deal more effectively with problems at work and with bosses, or other authority figures. Many need help with everyday functioning, and some are struggling with confidence issues and initiative to set positive goals for the future.

I aim to create a comfortable and caring environment so my clients can speak freely. I offer a welcoming and safe space to speak about life's challenges while coming up with solutions to obstacles. Listening and understanding is my priority, so that I can provide a hopeful outlook towards overcoming each issue and work towards a brighter future. Your potential is endless. Your child's potential is endless.

Kay’s Safe Space provides therapeutic counseling to adolescents and adults in a nurturing creative environment that allows clients to speak their truth. Having worked over 15 years with adolescents in the Juvenile Justice System and correctional settings, I was exposed to children who suffered multiple traumas , and had a number of psychosocial stressors. I felt compelled to provide a Safe Space for adults with a history of childhood traumas, behavioral issues or substance abuse. Together we will work on their individual needs using a combination of treatment modalities such as CBT, Play Therapy and Trauma Informed Approaches.

Your child is not acting herself. She was once so vibrant, bursting with personality and excitement for life. But now she complains of stomach aches and doesn’t want to go to school. She is nervous about so many things. You have tried to understand your child. You listen, validate, and explain to her why there is no need to worry. But you feel that the problem is growing instead of dying away. You feel stuck. Where is the way out? How can you bring the child you know, back?

Daily life has become challenging trying to balance our families, relationships, careers and goals. You may be feeling overwhelmed, experiencing anxiety that won’t allow you to move forward and you just can’t seem to get out of your own head. Perhaps you feel ready to take the steps to improve your quality of life, but you don’t know where to start. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where we can openly discuss any obstacles and recognize patterns that may be holding you back. I now offer Telemental health sessions using a confidential computer platform so you can be in the comfort of your own home.

As a family Therapist, I have the incredible privilege of joining you on your journey towards empowerment and self-discovery. Within the safe haven of Conscious Cove, I extend my support not only to children and adolescents but also to adults seeking positive change. In this sacred space, I strive to create a warm and nurturing environment, a sanctuary where you can tenderly confront the challenges that may be holding you back.

Congratulations on taking another step on your journey of wellness. Deciding to find a therapist can be challenging, and I encourage you to make that next step and reach out. My role as a therapist can be described as an advocate and guide as clients navigate the space of healing. I aim to help clients dismantle the thought patterns and beliefs that have been limiting.
