Codependency Therapists in East Brunswick, NJ

We’re pleased you’ve made your first step towards healing. We understand that seeking help, whether for yourself or for your children isn’t always easy. Unfortunately, life doesn’t come with a user’s manual, and when times get tough, many of us are left feeling confused, angry, depressed and helpless.

We want to help you extend that olive branch to not only the important relationships in your life but to yourself as well. Because at the end of the day, we all deserve inner peace.

Accepting new clients. My style is to help my clients feel welcome in the counseling session.

Hello! I hope you are proud of yourself for taking this important step towards a happier and healthier you! My approach to clinical care is direct, collaborative, and solution-focused, with you in the driver seat. I will be here every step of the way to guide you, yet the changes that will ensue will be a product of your hard work, consistency, and motivation towards becoming a better you. How exciting and empowering that is!

In my experience as a therapist, I find that many people are looking for someone who will provide a safe space to talk, listen, and support them. My goal is to provide children, preteens/tweens, adolescents/teenagers, adults, and elders, as well as, families and couples with the skills and tools to help them reach their own personal goals. With these skills, you will become a better communicator, develop confidence, and utilize positive responses to daily life problems.

Welcome! I’ve worked with individuals of all ages in various settings with various populations such as children and family agencies, schools, criminal justice advocacy, individuals with disabilities, pregnant and post-partum mothers, substance abuse (with and without opioid maintenance therapy), co-occurring disorders, case management services, planning special events for girls and women’s empowerment, mental health diagnosing and counseling (depression, anxiety, psychosis, etc) and services regarding coping with life stressors.

Are you someone who’s recovering from substance abuse and use or addiction? There are numerous common challenges an addict faces in recovery such as developing new coping strategies, addressing trauma and shame without using, boredom, building new relationships and repairing old ones, finding purpose in life and lastly relapse. Maintaining a daily schedule and keeping an established routine is needed and I want to help you do so. I understand that what you may be dealing with is difficult and I would like to work with you so that you gain clarity and a better understanding of what has brought you to this place at this time.

I believe therapy is a journey that we take together to meet your therapeutic goals by using empathy, warmth, and care, as well as striving to elicit emotional honesty. I offer culturally sensitive therapy, welcoming those from all walks of life to come and allow me to help you reach your goals. No matter what beliefs, or practices one has, everyone deserves a chance to feel seen and heard to lead to bettering themselves.

If you grew up with emotionally unhealthy parents, experienced trauma, or abuse, you might know you need therapy but feel afraid of taking that first step. Starting therapy can feel scary and uncertain. You might not be sure if you will be able to open up and receive the help you need. Through the work we do together, we can find a way through the stuck spaces inside so that you can allow yourself to feel intimacy in healthy relationships, know your power to make choices in your life, fully experience your positive emotions, and trust your ability to know that you are finally safe.

Greetings! I have been in practice with Staten Island patients for over 40 years and have expanded my practice into Middlesex Co., NJ. I am only doing tele-therapy sessions. The problem areas that I have worked most with are marital, anxiety based and depression cases. I work with individuals and couples. I have catered to a middle class, mostly civil service clientele. I work closely with Police, Fire Fighters, Teachers, etc. It is my priority and responsibility to see that you are comfortable in the therapy session. That is my job! I utilize most insurances.

My approach to therapy is both process and skill based, with emphasis on treatment that is tailored to the individual’s goals they wish to achieve.   I work with adults, teens, and adolescents to help them cope with a variety of stressors. I provide support to those struggling with their emotions, anxiety, life transitions, daily stressors, work stressors, relationships, parenting, and overall mood, so that they are manageable and have a reduced impact on their daily lives.

Dr. Anismatta finds empathy and creating a strong therapeutic alliance are the key ingredients in helping her patients achieve their goals in therapy.

Therapy is a process that allows people to explore, adjust, and reconfigure what isn't working in their lives in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I believe in the power of the therapeutic process. It is the catalyst for people to find clarity, healing, and strength needed to live a content and fulfilling life. It is on this premise that I have built a successful practice working with teenagers, adults, and couples. Through the process we figure out together what the specific issues are, what changes need to be made, and how to go about healing.

I offer respectful, affirmative treatment in a safe, comfortable environment. Establishing a trusting, caring relationship with the people I work with is of the utmost importance to me. I see Children, Adolescents and Adults. Depression and other Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Phobias, PTSD, Relationships, Parenting, Separation/Divorce, Adult Survivors of Incest/Sexual Abuse, Sexuality, Women's and LGBTQ issues, Stress and Anger Management, Loss/ Bereavement, Eating and other Compulsive Disorders, Learning/DevelopmentalChallenges and Acute/Chronic Illness, Life Coaching and Individual Consultation Services are my areas of specialization.

I am conducting teletherapy for the foreseeable future from my home in NY for NJ based clients. The key to a successful therapeutic relationship is finding a therapist with whom you can develop a healthy trusting relationship. I believe therapy can be effective by exploring past experiences and relationships and examining how they are impacting current life stresses. A willingness to change is also critical. Please see my website for a greater description of my experience and philosophies. http://www.paulakaplanreiss.com
