Addiction Therapists in Morristown, NJ

The words heard are often "Why are they trying to control me. Everyone is doing that. Most people don't care. I don't care. Everyone has dysfunctional families. Is my partner causing my stress and driving me away ? Is anxiety just part of life? Could it just be me and my partner?" Are these your thoughts? Do these words circle in your mind? Are you stuck in this loop that keep's repeating? Do you feel stuck, frustrated and resentful? Does change seem out of your grasp? Is change something you might think about? Is change something that happens for everyone else so you just don't think about it? Think about it today.

If you're looking for substance abuse counseling, you may be frustrated to find that most services involve large groups filled with unmotivated and court-mandated clients, large time commitments, forced self-help participation, or clients with much more severe problems. Ayre Counseling offers world-class, innovative treatment that is the platinum standard in the treatment industry. I utilize a flexible, adaptive, and highly individualized approach. Rather than the traditional approaches of heavy confrontation and coercion, I provide the opportunity to change through the use of Evidenced-Based Practices that are delivered in an atmosphere of encouragement, optimism, and compassion.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson. This is my favorite quote and what I try to reinforce when working with my clients. I believe therapy is a healing journey that consists of gaining awareness, insight, and growth. I work with my clients on identifying and setting concrete goals in order to move beyond their obstacles. I concentrate on helping my clients overcome negative thinking patterns while building self-esteem as they navigate life’s challenges.

Are you or a loved one struggling with alcohol, opiates, benzos or other drugs? What about depression and anxiety, insomnia and loss of self-esteem? There is hope and treatment for people struggling and their family members. Together, we will create a plan to address your situation, helping you or a loved one understand the disease of addiction or mental health disorder, develop coping skills, deal with anxiety, anger, and other emotions, build a support network, improve sleep, and assess the need for medications, if warranted. My goal is to help you find a path to a rewarding, fullfilling life.

Taking the first step in finding a new therapist can be daunting, but I'm glad you made it here. I believe that a safe and supportive environment for therapy is key to successful change, and I emphasize authenticity, empathy and a positive therapeutic style in my practices. I have experience working with clients dealing with depression and anxiety disorders, trauma and post-traumatic-stress disorder, grief and loss, relational issues, chronic illness, intimacy/sexual issues, and substance abuse, as well as supporting couples and families where there is a presence or history of addiction .

Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, you still aren't able to make concrete change in your life? Do you struggle to heal from the past, or a current crisis you need support with? Here are things clients said about working with me: "The number one quality you bring to your practice is kindness...your respect for me has allowed me the space to find respect for myself." "I have gained some real understanding of myself, my own struggles and patterns...this has helped me to let go of behaviors and thoughts that don't work..."

In a first meeting with a client, one of the most important parts of the session is to understand not only what brings a person into the office, “the problem” so to speak, but also to build out a framework of what the client believes will be the solution. What will it look like when things are better? Rather than pathologizing, I prefer to focus within the wellness model of counseling, identifying strengths and resources available to contribute toward a person’s personal counseling goals.

Life is difficult and we are not supposed to know how to handle all that comes our way. Psychotherapy is one way to address life's difficulties. My work is with individuals, couples and families which includes a specialization in communication, relationship issues, shame, vulnerability, self-esteem issues, anxiety/depression, addiction and any barrier to fulfilling one's full potential. Families are systems that can heal, and change is always possible. I am a certified ARISE@ Substance and Mental Health Interventionist. I bring the experience of 33 years of marriage as well as raising five adult children to my practice.

I am a licensed psychotherapist providing consultation and treatment to adults, adolescents, and couples for more than thirty years.

Welcome to Willow Tree Counseling Associates. My husband, Charlie Berman, and I provide Prevention, Treatment and Wellness Services for youth, adults and senior citizens. To learn more about what we offer, please go to our website: www.willowtree.org. Personally, I am a Certified Prevention Specialist (CPS), a Clinical Supervisor (CCS), a Positive Psycology Practitioner & a Licensed Clinical Alcohol & Drug Counselor (LCADC) with over 35 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, families, schools and community groups. Early in my career, my mentor was Dr. Janet Gerringer Woititz, the author of the New York Times best seller, "Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOAs)". She gave me a great introduction into the addiction field and I will be forever grateful. Additionally, Charlie and I facilitate Family Interventions, a highly effective and intensive process to help family members, friends and employers to motivate those they care about - those in denial of their addictions - to seek treatment. We are proud of our 95% success rate. Finally, it's important to note that we offer individualized treatment services because we know that "cookie cutter" methods rarely work and "One size fits all" is simply not true - not in clothing and not in treatment.

Prior to entering the counseling field, I served as a NJ Registered Pharmacist (RPh).
