"Hello and Welcome! I’m Joshua Taffet, a licensed psychotherapist. I'm pleased you've taken this courageous step toward claiming a better "You". A little about me: I earned my Masters in Social Work from NYU, graduating in the top of my class. My clinical practice involves working with young adults, adults and couples struggling with: addictions, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, adjustment issues, LGBT issues and those who generally want to live more free, more authentic lives. My style is warm, empathic and collaborative. I aim for all my clients to feel completely heard and understood, without judgment. "

"We sometimes lack skills to negotiate life's challenges, whether they occur at home, in school, or in the work place. Resolving adversity requires resiliency, problem-solving, and coping mechanisms. Learning to identify triggers and stressors, focus on strengths, and work collaboratively to address concerns in a safe and judgement-free space, can help to produce positive change. "

"There are no ideal clients because there are no ideal people. I work with a large range of people and am interested in individual and cultural differences. I am comfortable asking questions and learning. We will be having a conversation with the goal of helping you understand yourself, your motivations and your relationships. I view this as a collaboration. I like to be challenged and I hope that you like to be challenged also. We will talk about your present, your past and your goals for the future. I can do relatively short term or relatively long term treatment."

"I offer the unique option of Telehealth, In-Home or In-Office therapy. I work with children, adults and families struggling with overwhelming feelings, disordered eating/body image, trauma, anxiety, depression or general life obstacles. I believe that the way you view yourself, your relationships with others, and the world is a gateway to the therapeutic experience. My clients would describe my warmth, compassion, use of humor and realism as a recipe for connection and safety within our relationship. I am an active participant during sessions and willing to be vulnerable to move my client to a place of change."

"As a licensed psychologist with over twenty years of clinical experience, I believe that it is never too late to make significant and meaningful changes in our lives. By engaging in a warm therapeutic relationship, I help my clients to better understand their life situations, develop their unique strengths, and move towards living a more emotionally fulfilling and satisfying life. I enjoy a diverse practice, working with young adults and adults with a range of concerns and needs. More specifically, many of my clients struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, postpartum depression, life cycle transitions, and difficulties maintaining an intimate relationship."

"I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience treating anxiety, mood, stress, and trauma disorders that impact adult men and women. The focus of my practice is on health, healing, and hope. I also specialize in helping individuals work through challenges that occur as a result of midlife transitions, (e.g. career/financial changes, separation, divorce, loss), traumatic events, and/or personal crisis. Despite the stress or anguish that may come with these challenges, they also provide us with opportunities for growth and healing, including repairing relationships, and prioritizing wellness. "

"I specialize in treating problems related to anger, anxiety, and depression using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques. I help clients develop healthier thinking patterns and relationships, while also teaching concrete coping skills. "

"Are you having difficulty connecting to others, self-acceptance, relationships, or struggling with sadness and anxiety? You're tired of feeling defeated by the stressors of every day, and miss the passion for life and love that you once had. Between work and home you're experiencing such high levels of stress and anxiety that you can barely take it. You're feeling trapped in these feelings of sadness, disconnection and shame, yet too numb to change it. You dream of finding joy and meaningful connection to others again, but don't know where to start. Let’s find the best balance for you and transform your life into something you love!"

" I provide compassionate Eating Disorder and DBT services for children, adolescents, and adults, pursuing Eating Disorder recovery and mental health resiliency. I use evidenced-based psychotherapeutic interventions to assist clients in facing the challenges of eating disorders, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and traumatic stress. I am currently engaged in training for certification in CBT-E with the Credo-Oxford Institute in the UK. "

"I believe therapy is a caring, supportive, challenging, and collaborative process of exploring areas of your life that are concerning to you and you'd like to learn how to manage better. I follow a strengths-based, person-centered approach where we discuss and explore areas of your life you are concerned about and I assist you in making the real changes you seek. I'm easy going guy who uses humor, homework, insight readings, and other resources to support and challenge you to create change in your life."

"My orientation to psychotherapy is to approach every session as a creative undertaking, whether it is with an individual or a group, a couple or a family, a child, an adolescent, or an adult. This is true for every stage of the treatment process, beginning with engagement and problem clarification, with developing a working relationship based on trust, and moving constructively forward in relation to established objectives. The process of each session involves engaging purposefully to facilitate problem resolution, newness, and growth. When appropriate the course of treatment can be as brief as three sessions."

"For 30+ years, I have helped couples begin or repair relationships by helping each partner identify their strengths & needs. I help kids go from F's & D's to A's & B's, without ADHD drugs. Working with parents & teachers, we develop new tools to motivate your kids. Along with traditional therapies I also offer neurofeedback to improve memory & focus & reduce test anxiety along with biofeedback to reduce blood pressure, stress levels, migraines & to improve sleep. You'll learn to maximize your strengths effectively in your work and personal life. Clients know that I really care about them & THEIR goals."

"What can we do to bring about change in our life? Working with a therapist can have far reaching benefits. Through compassionate and collaborative exploration, my goal is to help you build increased self-awareness and form new understandings of your past and present. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for in-depth work with children, adolescents, adults and couples."

"I'm motivated to help people get past their pain and become who they were meant to be. Doing this requires trust, curiosity, careful listening, thoughtful feedback, and a full commitment to what is most alive in you. The reward for me is that I get to be present when the next, better, freer and more flexible version of you comes into the world. It's exciting, meaningful work."

"I am a family therapist, supervisor, and educator, practicing in northern NJ. I have worked extensively with young children and adolescents and their families on a wide variety of issues. I have taught family therapy at the graduate/institute level. I believe all problems can be helped by improving our connections with others. Children's problems are always helped by strengthening the parent/child bond especially when crises like separation, divorce, illness and death arise. My work has evolved over the past 23 years to incorporate the body as well as the mind. I specialize in Family Therapy in Action and Supervision in Action."

"My practice offers a variety of treatment options based on the client's needs and goals. After a thorough assessment some of the following treatment options may be recommended: individual psychotherapy, family therapy, marriage counseling, divorce counseling, or group therapy. Dialectic (DBT) and Cognitive (CBT) behavioral therapy techniques and practical interventions used in sessions will provide the client with tools and coping strategies to use between sessions. The therapeutic experience will assist clients with facilitating long term change, reducing anxiety and improving interpersonal relationships."

"As I reflect on my many years of practicing psychotherapy , I have found that what has been the most helpful is the authenticity of the therapeutic relationship. This is where you, the client, will learn to trust and open up about yourself. This process of self reflection will help you identify and understand the deeper parts of you. Whether your problem is self esteem, family issues, or intimacy , understanding yourself in a meaningful way will allow you to be more content in your daily living. Psychotherapy is a place where you can learn to feel better about yourself."

"Do you feel stuck in your relationship? Disconnected? I believe the potential for happiness and fulfillment in both one's relationship with themselves and others is universal. Sometimes it is a matter of seeking support in developing the tools to unlock this potential. Through EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) I have been able to help couples/individuals move beyond negative patterns that often leave one stuck which often leads to anger, criticism and resentment. I understand taking this leap in seeking support is not always easy and can be painful. I am committed to creating a safe, respectful and non-judgmental environment."

"Kay’s Safe Space provides therapeutic counseling to children and adolescents in a nurturing creative environment that allows clients to speak their truth. Having worked over 15 years with adolescents in the Juvenile Justice System and correctional settings, I was exposed to children who suffered multiple traumas , and had a number of psychosocial stressors. I felt compelled to provide a Safe Space for children with a history of childhood traumas, behavioral issues or substance abuse. Together we will work on their individual needs using a combination of treatment modalities such as CBT, Play Therapy and Trauma Informed Approaches. "
