Therapists in Millburn, NJ

I love supporting young women of color, queer individuals and couples, and young professionals as they gain insight into their family’s generational patterns, heal from trauma, set boundaries, develop healthy sexual lives, and answer the question “who am I living for?” I welcome clients who identify as gender, sexual and racial minorities including non-monogamous and queer couples. I draw on things like art, music, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Gottman Method couples counseling, and mindfulness techniques.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help create positive change. I see individuals and couples, using an integrative therapeutic approach grounded in psychodynamic and relational theories. I am trauma-informed and trained in evidence-based models including Emotionally Focused Therapy, the gold standard of relationship therapy, and Discernment Counseling, for couples on the brink. My clients are facing a range of circumstances, such as coping with depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, trauma, grief and and loss, chronic illness, struggling relationships, and life transitions.

No matter what your situation, a supportive therapeutic relationship can be transformational. While growth can be challenging, we all have the ability to heal. I provide a supportive environment to help people facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. Using a combination of insight and behavioral techniques, we can develop strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve positive changes.

My style is highly interactive, focused on communication, and achieving client goals. It is important to me that my clients are comfortable with me and know that I am available to them. Making life changes is not always easy, but I believe in human resiliency and strength. As an example of this philosophy, I have changed my name back to my maiden name. My mother passed away from Alzheimer's disease, and for this reason, to honor her, I wanted to take my name back... human resiliency!!!

People are often ambivalent when seeking help from a professional - it's not an easy thing to do to speak with a stranger about what troubles you. In my 30 years of experience I have found people have often suffered for long periods of time, and the first thing I can offer is realistic hope - hope that things can get better, and that life can feel worthwhile again. I offer help and hope for the practical problems of life as well as the more intangible, yet equally vital issues related to a sense of peace and contentment with one's life.

An effective therapist can help you overcome difficulties and enhance your life. My name is Asya Rivinson, and I am a psychotherapist licensed in NJ and NY. Currently I have my private practice in Springfield, NJ, and in Manhattan but my experience of working in different countries helps me to connect with clients of various backgrounds and values. My work as a therapist for over a decade developed both my skills and my faith in the value of therapy. In my work, I am supportive, insight-oriented, professional and knowledgeable.

My experience includes working with adolescents and adults. I believe it is important to focus on a client's strengths and to assist them in making the necessary changes to live a full and healthier life.

I am a Licensed (NJ and NY) clinical psychologist who treats high functioning professionals, couples and young adults dealing with life stressors. Anxiety, stress and depression often impact peoples lives. I specialize in treating individuals coping with the difficult task of balancing interpersonal relationships (i.e. friends, family, dating, committed relationships) with life's expectations. I also specialize in treating life crisis. This is a turning point or time when major CHANGE takes place. Common stressors include: deciding if separation or staying together is right for you, infidelity, divorce, career path, etc.

I am a warm and experienced clinical psychologist who specializes in adult and couples therapy. I help you feel more understood and supported in your relationships. I have extensive training in working with emotions, as well as understanding behavior and how to make positive changes in your life. There are always good reasons why you do what you do. We collaborate to understand what is getting in your way so you can achieve your goals. I can help you have better relationships.

We all have unique and personal stories inside us. I join with each family member with an understanding of their strengths and challenges; with the belief that even though we cannot change our past we can direct our future. My professional experience includes working with children, adolescents and adults with a wide range of cognitive, behavioral and emotional issues. Together we will focus on finding solutions that work for your life and circumstances; in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental place to explore, comprehend and resolve issues. I embrace the opportunity to co-create with you through the therapeutic process.

Therapy can be a very rewarding and empowering experience, particularly when it is achieved in collaboration with a trusting, nonjudgmental, nurturing therapist. I enjoy being a therapist whom people feel comfortable with and can trust to help them. My work centers around helping children (ages 3+), adolescents, and families make positive changes in their lives. I work collaboratively with parents, as they are essential in the therapeutic process. Collaboration also often includes work with schools and other professionals.

Therapy is different for everyone. I believe that our early relationships and experiences deeply shape how we see ourselves and respond to feelings. I use a flexible model of therapy that draws from Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, neuropsychology, feminist/multicultural, and attachment theories. An emphasis is placed on appreciating the current emotional coping system before attempting to change it. I see my role as helping you develop a relationship with the parts of yourself that you may avoid, reject, or fear. My role is not to fix you (-you're not broken), and it is not to solve your problems.
