Therapists in Cliffside Park, NJ

As a BIPOC Therapist, I strive to provide a decolonizing, holistic and culturally sensitive space in which an individual can find healing. I have significant experience working with individuals that have experienced family trauma and issues related to family of origin which are often impacted by Colonialism, Imperialism, and forced migration. My clients are those who need assistance in navigating the challenges of their lives as professionals, siblings, parents, friends or partners impacted by various oppressive systems.

I am a dual licensed clinical social worker and licensed clinical addiction and drug counselor (LCSW and LCADC) with experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in various care level and treatment environments. I strongly believe in the potential of the mind, body and spirit that empower each person to regain a balanced life, healthier relationship with others and the world. I am passionate in encouraging and empowering clients to learn and grow using various approaches meeting the unique needs of each client to resolve their issues.

No one decides to struggle. There are normally very complex and deeply personal reasons a person reaches out for help. Our goal at North Jersey Wellness Center is to help guide you through your life’s journey. Our dedicated team of therapists will help you with any mental health or substance abuse concerns you may be experiencing. ​We use our own unique program and practice in a safe and warm environment of mutual understanding. We aim to put you back in control of your life, help you reconcile with your past, and empower you to embrace the future.

Everyone’s journey to better their mental health is different and I will work with you to meet your goals. We will work together to create a treatment plan based on your unique needs, challenges, and goals. Finding the right care for my clients is my primary goal. I focus on what matters to you, to achieve the results you want.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of psychological and interpersonal challenges in life, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, life transition, relationship problems, and developmental disorders. I believe that psychotherapy is a process in which client and therapist collaborate in order to help client to improve self-understanding, overcome painful emotions, and discover new and widened perspectives about himself/herself, others, and life. I facilitate client's discovery and development of balanced and integrated personality so that he/she can transcend his/her psychological conflicts.

Understanding why people suffer, how they change, and how to help them live more satisfying and gratifying lives is a fascinating, huge, and important undertaking. For this reason, finding a clinician with appropriate life experiences, training, humility, and willingness to learn what makes each person unique is one of the most difficult challenges for those seeking counseling/therapy today. I would like an opportunity to help you to live the life you have always wanted. "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."

Our practice specializes in assisting intelligent, high-functioning adults to mobilize their inherent strengths toward achieving their highest potential.

Most commonly reported symptoms range from feeling chronic stress, addictions, panic attacks, depressed mood, obsessive thoughts, interpersonal conflicts at work and home, and even spiritual struggles.

Many of us face challenging times in our lives, which may lead us to seek out help from others. The experiences of dissatisfaction and feeling unfulfilled may bring varying degrees of pain and sense of emptiness and loss. I provide a supportive and safe space for you to learn more about yourself and create sustainable changes in your life. My style is warm, collaborative, thoughtful, and compassionate - focused on helping you feel more empowered to move successfully through such challenges.

Do you have trouble getting through the day, feeling tired or discouraged? Maybe you’re going through the motions but aren’t sure why. Many people I work with have felt overwhelmed, stressed, or just stuck. You may have found temporary coping skills that have worked to get you this far. But life’s about more than just surviving each day with the least amount of pain. I help people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and stress, and are ready for a change. I believe you have a purpose and deserve to experience a more fulfilling life. You can learn to stop fighting and become more excited and hopeful about the future.

There are so many profiles and acronyms after people's names on this website, and you just want some help with a mental health issue, life stressors, or maybe you're not entirely sure what you need help with.

And you're here because a friend or family member encouraged you to look for some help, but now, it's kind of overwhelming with all of these profiles and degrees and specialities.

Hi, my name is Felipe, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Montclair State University with a concentration in Community Counseling. I am a bilingual therapist and can conduct therapy sessions in English and Spanish. I have 15 years of experience as a mental health professional with the opportunity to work with various ages and backgrounds in different clinical settings. I have experience providing individual therapy and use a person-centered approach. I utilize concepts and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

We are humans of connection and our development can be burdened by the moments of disengagement. I truly believe in the ability of the individual. Many of the obstacles in our lives are either created or transformed by the circles we hold. From the family you may have to the one you may have come from, from the friends in your surrounding, to the partner you share your life with. We attract what we are and success is greatest when achieved together. Life can be like a bucket under a dripping ceiling, it can withstand a lot, but eventually overflows.
