Self Esteem Therapists in North Arlington, NJ

You often feel misunderstood, ignored, even silenced, and this prevents you from asking for what you want...for what you deserve. And, every time you think you are ready to say how you feel or ask for what you want, you realize you are just too exhausted and would rather keep your feelings to yourself to avoid conflict. Deep down you know that you are struggling with your confidence (although you may not show it on the outside). You find yourself in a cycle of unhealthy relationships but you can’t find the motivation or the courage to break the cycle. It’s time to break the cycle and speak up.

I'm a firm believer in navigating our present through self-awareness, reflection, intention, healing, love, and mindfulness. I love helping individuals overcome life's challenges, learn new skills, and holding space for them to feel vulnerable, transparent, heard, and supported. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and families in settings such as schools, in-home, outpatient, inpatient, and private practice. My experience includes helping individuals with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship issues, low self-esteem, gender identity and orientation.

Are you struggling with ongoing stress? Searching for clarity and peace of mind? You’ve tried distracting yourself and avoiding triggering events, but just can't seem to get rid of the anxiety. You don't have to continue living this way. I specialize in helping women and adolescent girls cope with and heal from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-esteem, and trauma.

Are you searching for clarity, purpose, or peace of mind? Feeling anxious or struggling to find a new direction? Are you tired of trying to figure it out on your own?

I work with young adults and women through their struggles with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, challenging relationships, trauma, or any other concern they want to discuss in the context of a warm and supportive environment.

Our practice, NYC Cognitive Therapy, includes a staff of male and female therapists with intensive post-graduate training in cognitive-behavior therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most widely researched and evidence-based form of therapy. CBT has been shown in more than one thousand studies to be effective in treating a wide range of psychological problems. CBT is active and teaches you the tools to be your own therapist. You are not alone and we are available to help you feel better. We also practice Gottman Method Couple Therapy, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Trial-Based Cognitive Therapy (TBCT).

The choices we make in life are based upon our actions. I believe challenging those behaviors and replacing the negative behaviors with positive/healthy ones is reachable, and we will do that in our sessions. I worked in a hospital setting for over 5 years and a private practice for over 2 years. I spent a big part of my career providing counseling to individuals and families suffering from anxiety, self-esteem issues, marital discord, depression, postpartum depression, and unresolved grief. I am also licensed to write ESA letters for clients who need crucial support from a service animal.

Are you feeling anxious and out of control when you think about your child? Do you have questions about relationships or parenting? I have a background in both development and psychotherapy. I teach parents about development and help them learn what is "getting in the way" of parenting the way they want to. I also help couples "get on the same page" with parenting. Children come here to enhance development, learn social skills and have good self esteem. Children with developmental, behavioral and sensory concerns find a safe place to grow and explore. Parent Coaching is also available.

Tweens, Teens & Young Adults, can be vulnerable to change & life's stressors. Many lack the skills necessary for healthy coping. Identifying feelings, triggers, & problematic behaviors in a warm, non-judgmental environment can help bring change. I specialize in working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, divorce, death, family transitions, social skills, bullying, academics, & self-esteem. My goal is to provide support & work to resolve issues brought into focus by stress, transitions, or other triggering situations. Clients who feel safe, nurtured, & validated are open to acquiring skills necessary for emotional growth.

I invite you to share a therapeutic experience with me to explore and uncover your true essence, manage your emotional pain, and work to shift your internal view of yourself to a positive awareness of who you genuinely are.

We all want what’s best for ourselves, children, and others. You may notice a change over time for either you or your child “not feeling like my usual self” and not handling things in the same way at home, work, school, or in interactions with others. If you have ever felt like you do not know what to do or say therapy can be a place to work through feelings, thoughts, and situations that you have tried your hardest and best to respond to but feel at a loss or stuck. Therapy can help with sorting out why these changes have occurred in order to be able to move forward and feel like you are “back on track” and “in a better place”.
