"I have more than 20 years of experience in working with individuals from all walks of life. I have helped many people dealing with depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, low self-esteem, and stress. Taking the step to enter therapy can be scary, but is often a very powerful experience. I believe that problematic early relationships can often cause roadblocks to happiness and satisfaction in one's current relationships. I provide a very safe, sensitive, non-judgmental environment where I can offer practical solutions to the problems of life, and offer the hope of positive change and personal growth."

"I help anxious perfectionists, stressed out over-achievers, and women struggling with confidence and self-esteem. Feeling constantly on edge, tense, and keyed up? Maybe you've experienced panic attacks and they're stopping you from enjoying life? You're stressed out and worried that you might "snap" at any moment. It's taking a toll on your family, relationships, and quality of life. If so, I can help. Whether it be traditional therapy in our Montclair office, or our walk and talk therapy option in Bloomfield's Brookdale Park, our goal is to help you reach peace of mind."

"Welcome to our practice. Our niche is to work with individuals, children, adolescents, families and couples, who need assistance coping with daily stressors. Be it work, school, relationships, the time we live in, we provide our clients with coping mechanisms and skills to overcome their challenges and most importantly, an inviting, welcoming, safe and non-judgmental environment that will allow you to address your challenges."

"I help clients make significant changes in their lives through a combination of very practical goal oriented modalities like Cognitive Behavioral therapy, assertiveness and social skills training, life coaching as well as supportive modalities like insight therapy, guided visualizations and relaxation techniques. In addition, I also work with clients using approaches that include meditation, mindfulness and Ericksonian Hypnosis."

"I'm an authentic, warm, open human being with a deep investment in helping people to figure out how to identify and work through the aspects of life that are causing the most pain. Therapy sessions with me are collaborative and strengths-based, weaving in mindfulness as well as heartfelt doses of honesty. My role is to guide you: to ask about who you are, what you desire (or don't desire) and why so that together, we can identify where you'd like to focus your energies."

"I view psychotherapy as a colloborative process. I work with clients to help them make important changes in their lives or to overcome difficult life circumstances and obstacles. I strive to understand each client as a unique individual and to build upon the inherent strengths that the person brings to therapy. My practice style is client focused--I am primarily interested in helping you achieve the goals you have for therapy. Our relationship is critical to the success of the work we do."

"I treat depression, anxiety, relationships, disappointments and losses, parenting, couples, individuals and families. Conflict and distress can stem from many sources-life upheavals, separation, divorce, trauma, death, unexpected disappointments, mourning what we have lost or never had. Therapy is a process of Self discovery-understanding what makes you-you and Your unique personal issues. My role is to help you unlock whatever has or is preventing you from reaching your personal goals and the quality of life you desire. Together we will explore pathways to change or acceptance to free you to move forward.."

"Sometimes life can become overwhelming and difficult to manage. Events in our lives can leave us feeling powerless and confused. The hardest step may be acknowledging that we need support in finding ways to cope more effectively. Making the decision to enter therapy takes courage and a willingness to learn more about oneself. Feeling comfortable with your therapist is essential. My priority is to provide a safe, warm, welcoming environment for healing and growth."

"We are a group of licensed psychologists and social workers committed to providing comprehensive counseling services to adults, adolescents, couples and families. With over fifty years of collective experience, we offer you the opportunity to address a range of challenging, and often painful, life experiences."

"My work is dedicated to helping you embrace who you are in order to live a fulfilling and balanced life. I focus on developing your ability to understand the powerful connection between your mind and body. This insight facilitates a path toward healing from current and past challenges. During the course of our work, I will help you develop your "Emotional Intelligence" (understanding of what motivates feelings and actions) and acquire the tools needed to overcome barriers blocking growth and change. Once you gain these coping skills, you will find yourself open to loving relationships, living in the present and creating a more fulfilling life."

"I am a licensed psychologist w/ 25 years+ experience in private practice. I work with people who have relationship,parenting and career issues who may be struggling with difficult life transitions, losses, fears, self-esteem and self-control issues and those who experience debilitating self-doubt, shyness, self-hatred, jealousy and rage. I also work with Internet addiction issues. My therapeutic approach is to help you get to the root of your emotional concerns and to learn new ways of dealing with problems so that they don't reoccur."

"As a therapist, I am interested in your thoughts and feelings as well as your beliefs. I am equally interested in the experiences you had growing up in your family. I look at you both as an individual and as a member of a multigenerational family. I believe past experiences shape the core beliefs we have about ourselves and the world and influence the choices we make in the present. Although therapy often focuses on problems, I believe that good therapy also identifies and builds on a client's existing strengths and resources. Good therapy is a respectful collaboration."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed, alone and unsure of how to cope? I am a psychologist and will help you manage relationship stress, depression, anxiety or trauma and help you feel more joy and connection. I will help you through the difficult experience of loss or painful life changes. I will also help you move forward with your life and and become emotionally stronger. I have a specialty in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and managing overwhelming emotions. New mothers/fathers may bring babies under 1 year to sessions. I am looking forward to meeting you."

"Empower, enrich and improve your life. Sometimes the path to being happy and living a full and enriched life needs a helping hand. I provide you with a safe empathic environment that opens the way for self-discovery. Learn how thought patterns can block you from new and positive experiences. I can help you develop more positive relationships and become more aware of what may be stopping you from moving forward in your personal and professional life."

"Worries can interfere with your enjoyment of the present, allowing "what ifs" to distract and agitate. While anxiety is a universal emotional state that everyone experiences from time to time, many of us find that we can't shut it off, preventing us from being fully engaged in life, school, and work. I can help. Together, we can identify ways to quiet the body and mind, restoring balance and well-being. I have extensive experience in treating trauma and anxiety disorders, as well as depression and other mood challenges. Identifying and modifying dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors can result in significant emotional improvement."

"I received my Master's degree in mental health counseling from Montclair State University and have had training in structural family therapy as well as other experiential and somatic treatment modalities. My experience working with Essex county's Sexual Assault and Violence Education Center coupled with my studies in Bessel van Der Kolk's cutting edge trauma informed research informs my work in trauma and loss, anxiety and depression, relationship & intimacy issues,couples counseling, parent/child conflict, anger management, women's issues and experiences of oppression, and treating the root cause of general stress on the body."

"Beginning psychotherapy suggests a desire to change. I create a trusting, collaborative environment to facilitate these changes. My approach is interactive and responsive. I have expertise working with a wide range of problems and concerns and am also sensitive to the unique needs of each individual."

"As a psychologist I work collaboratively with my clients to address their concerns. I have extensive experience working from an interpersonal perspective with adolescents and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, trauma, loss and adjustment to life changes (e.g. illness, divorce). I believe it is important to explore how a client's family background, culture and social environment play a role in the challenges my clients are experiencing. I view people as resilient and help clients to use their strengths and resources to make positive changes in their lives."

"My practice name is Wintertree Psychotherapy taken from an inspiring book titled, The Tree That Survived The Winter by Mary Fahy. The book is an adult fable for all who have faced dark, cold and lonely times and come out on the other side. When in crisis we seek safe, mindful problem-solving, and often discover an opportunity for personal growth. I provide a calm and supportive setting to reduce anxiety and stress, increase a sense of confidence and competence, and promote the creation of more satisfying connections to self and others. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families."
