Aetna Therapists in Lawrenceville, NJ

We are highly experienced (30 years), very caring, and effective psychologists. Clients often remark that it is a pleasure to be treated in a very personable manner. We determine with whom you will meet at our first phone conversation. For example, Dr. Mark is licensed in NJ as a Psychologist and a Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. At your initial visit, either Dr. Mark or Dr. Tamara will meet with you to discuss your presenting concerns in a comprehensive manner. We evaluate your problems, strengths, history and goals. We then develop a treatment plan that is unique for your needs.

I practice a type of psychotherapy using a technique (AEDP) that can help promote self-acceptance as well as well-being; effective with anxiety and depression, social/relational issues, complex trauma, among others. I work with individuals, youths and families, as well as couples. Dr. Kris Schwartz

My name is Chris and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, with over 20 years of counseling experience, helping people live their best life. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression or feeling overwhelmed with everyday life stressors, I am here to assist you. Whether you're dealing with past emotional struggles or just not feeling like yourself, I am here for you. If you're looking for a safe and judgement-free space to talk to a skilled therapist, you've already taken the first step.

Learning to grieve losses and adapt to life changes are challenges we will all face. A major loss such as the death of a loved one, divorce, or loss of a job can be devastating. Creating a new chapter in your life can be overwhelming. Working with a skilled, compassionate therapist in a safe, nurturing environment can provide critical support and guidance. My goal is to help you find light and hope during a dark time and to teach new coping skills to allow for healing and personal growth. Reaching out is the hardest part. I’d love to talk to you about your unique situation and needs.

I believe that all people should be treated with kindness, dignity and respect. No one should feel less than because of any issue they have. Counseling is a process of self discovery that sometimes needs compassionate guidance to help clients uncover their inner resources.

Village Counseling Services is a professional group that provides support services to the independently licensed psychologists, psychotherapists and board-certified psychiatrists, who have been providing client-centered, evidence-based treatment to the greater Lawrenceville/Princeton community since 1996.

Welcome to my practice. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, adjustment disorders, and relationship conflicts. It is often difficult to decide to come to therapy, but this decision could be a life transforming experience. I'm here to help. I firmly believe in providing a safe and supportive environment that cultivates trust, empathy, and genuine care. My approach is soothing, engaging, and informative.

*******NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS********My treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns in their lives and interpersonal relationships. I incorporate a blend of conventional and alternative approaches and determine which style of therapy will be most helpful for each client. With sensitivity and compassion, I work with clients to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.

Are you hesitant to talk with family and friends about about the issues that are bothering you? Have you tried confiding in those close to you about your struggles,and still feel out of control, overwhelmed, or discouraged? If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, relationship issues, or life transitions, I would like to help you. I believe it is important to have someone you can confide in and trust to help you feel better and cope with the challenges you are facing. I believe it so strongly that I have made it my life's work.

Do you feel confused in your current situation, have unhealthy patterns of behavior, or troubled relationships? The first step of successful therapy begins with a genuine, respectful and empathetic connection between therapist and client. I am warm and personable, and strive to create a safe, supportive environment with each person. We will work together to create an individualized treatment plan. The goal will be to help you acquire healthier coping skills, develop increased self-awareness, and improve overall mental health and well-being.

After 25 years, I still get excited about working with individuals, couples or families to identify and collaborate on reaching creative solutions that fit the person and his own internal values and goals. I draw from training and experience in cognitive behavior therapy, meditation, and the utilization of a host of resources that empower and bring real behavioral and emotional results in creating a higher quality of life and relationships.

Intergenerational family dysfunction is not inevitable. I work with adults and children to untangle relational and behavioral patterns that are often foundational to the presenting problem. I take an integrative, strength-based approach and help the client identify perceptions and attributions that may be interfering with optimal self development and fulfilling relationships. For adults and children, this therapeutic approach is helpful in changing dysfunctional relational dynamics to those that promote growth and well-being.

I am firm believer in the philosophy that the only constant in life is change. I work together with my patient to allow them to recognize that accepting change is an important quality for a successful and happy life. I value specifically tailoring a treatment plan to the individual to ensure we have a compassionate and understanding relationship on the road towards personal betterment/growth. I treat children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. I also provide counseling to couples and families.
