Emotionally Focused Therapists in Clifton, NJ

Are you getting frustrated at how challenging it is for you to end up "happily ever after"? Whether you're struggling to find the "right one," preparing for a committed relationship, want to work on a troubled relationship, or trying to re-ignite the energy in your existing relationship, you've come to the right place.

All relationships rupture...but not all relationships repair. A couple's ability to safely and effectively repair their ruptures, and heal their pain, is an essential ingredient to any healthy long-term connection. In my office, I meet a great variety of people and relationship types; some are merely dating, while others are already engaged, or have begun the marital journey... and yet others are anywhere from 10-50 years into their marriage. What unites them all is the great human need and desire to feel understood, seen, safe, loved, and held.

My priority is to create a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally responsive, body positive space for you to heal and grow. I provide a mindfulness, attachment, and compassion-based approach that makes and holds space for all parts of you-thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, cultural experience, and inner wisdom. I'm trained in Mindfulness-Based Contemplative Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Emotionally-Focused Therapy ( EFT ) for couples, and Relational Psychodynamic Therapy.

I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, recovery from trauma, relationship issues, and familial issues. With individuals, I use a psychodynamic approach focusing on CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, and Emotionally- Focused Therapy ( EFT ) all through a strength-based lens. I use the Gottman Method in my work with couples. See my calendar and book appointments here: resolutioncounseling.clientsecure.me

If you are looking for understanding and assistance with anxiety, fears, relationships, or stress, you have come to the right place.

Hi, my name is Lin. Therapy is a unique and extremely individualized experience. There is a therapeutic power in being fully seen and understood. Others seem to think you are holding it together and doing good, but sometimes you feel like an imposter. These feelings keep you from forming deep connections with your loved ones, furthering your career, or living your life the way you wish. Having a designated safe space for you to share scary, confusing, or “bad” thoughts can be freeing.

Footprints was started by a therapist who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Footprints began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

When I first began my practice, I thought that the most important word in marriage was love. A few years later, I changed my mind and concluded that the most important word in marriage was trust. After yet another few years, I changed my mind once again and decided that the most important word in marriage was vulnerability. While I still think today that vulnerability is the most essential component in an intimate partnership, I believe that it needs to be viewed through an attachment lens and can only be exercised in a safe environment. In my practice, I try to create a warm and safe environment where vulnerability thrives.
