Therapists in Lakewood, NJ

Do you suffer from sexual or internet addiction? Substance or alcohol abuse? Depression or Anxiety? I have been successfully helping clients suffering from addiction, mood, and anxiety disorders regain control of their lives. I use my warmth, sensitivity, and humor to create a healthy and balanced therapeutic relationship with my clients. My philosophy is to help clients obtain the necessary skills they need to eventually "be their own therapist." This is achieved through a combination of Cognitive Behavioral and Insight Oriented therapy techniques. I challenge my clients to think, gain insight and understanding, and make concrete changes in their daily lives.

Hi, my name is Yoel Goldenberg. I am an Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT). What this means is that I believe that everyone has the innate ability to grow and know what’s best for them but that sometimes there are blocks. I aim to get to the heart of the matter and help you get past those blocks that are keeping you stuck. Emotion is the primary organizer of our reality. Instead of striving to simply regulate difficult emotions, I aim to shape new emotional experiences that will create a new sense of self and bring more emotional balance to your life.

You’re feeling overwhelmed and anxious all the time. It’s leaving you sad, unmotivated, without any energy, and it is sapping all the confidence out of you. And you’re going crazy from all the overthinking about your problems the whole day. Maybe some even think you are confident and successful, but you know that deep down you are insecure, indecisive, and feel like an imposter and if people knew you, you doubt that they would still like you or respect you. It seems like the difficulties in your life and past traumas have overtaken you and are holding you back.

You feel overwhelmed and unhappy and want others to respond to you in a more positive way. It’s hard to feel confident being a mother when you didn’t have the right role model growing up.

Life can be exhilarating or exhausting, deeply satisfying or lacking meaningful relationships or passions. It is not at all unusual at times to feel lost, confused or stuck. Often you can self- correct and get back on a clear path. But if you are reading my profile you may be considering some help to get there.

It’s hard to remember the last time you woke up feeling rested. When you actually do sleep, you wish that you hadn’t . The nightmares that ensue, reminding you of the horror you so desperately want to escape from, come back to haunt you at night. The daytime is no reprieve either, those flashbacks are the worst of them all. The expression of “being caught between a rock and a hard place” starts to take on a whole new dimension.

Do you feel so overwhelmed and numb that you feel everything and nothing at the same time? Do you struggle with self-doubt, low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety? My approach works to address the internal dialogue that contributes to problematic patterns of behavior and painful emotions. I understand how limiting it can be when critical, perfectionistic, or other negative self-talk inhibits you from making the positive changes that you are seeking. I aim to help you become your greatest supporter instead of your biggest critic and to learn to relate with yourself in a new way that promotes growth and healing.
