Out of Network Therapists in Nutley, NJ

Why therapy?: As I like to tell clients, "you don't have to talk to everyone but you have to talk to someone" Sometimes, that someone is a professional listener, something I have been doing for over 25 years. Fortunately, it doesn't get old!

Life feels like a giant game of Jenga! You have been pulled in so many different directions. At times the pressure to be made for me to be a good mom, spouse, employee, or daughter can be paralyzing; a constant frustration. When you focus, you can conquer and succeed in one or two particular areas. However, everything needs your attention to keep the Jenga-Tower-of-Life balanced. There are times when you are doing well, but sometimes its too much. It all falls to pieces. Spinning and spinning around in a never-ending hamster wheel trying to get back on track, but instead, you are left with disappointment, bitterness and numbness.

Whether you are new to therapy or have had previous experiences, I am excited to welcome you to a confidential and non-judgmental place to discuss the challenges you are currently experiencing. I am dedicated to listening and understanding who my clients are, empowering my clients to achieve self-growth and self-fulfillment, and providing professional and effective services. My practice accepts clients of all ages and offers in-person and telehealth appointments.

My style is very warm and caring with a strong detail for eliciting emotional honesty. Appropriate humor with an inquisitive dialogue bring deep and real issues to light. It is my primary goal to build a safe and trusting relationship with you. I strive to understand your 'reality' while also exploring some of the biased/outdated beliefs we all hold that construct our current 'reality'. If you are looking to have a meaningful, honest and open relationship with your therapist then we would be a good fit. Gratefully, I've witnessed amazing transformations with hard working individuals, couples and families.

I have worked in counseling/mental health in various capacities over the last 21 years. I have experience working in the clinical outpatient, clinical case management, and school-based settings providing support for children, families, and adults.

I am a clinical social worker who has spent over 30 years treating people suffering with mental illness, personality disorders,and addictions. Clients come to me seeking help when their defense mechanisms are no longer adequate in helping them handle the challenges that life has given them. Clients enter therapy looking for new skills to deal with these difficulties that will enable them to lead an effective life, which is one that works for them. In order to do this clients need to build new skills and strengths. These will allow them to augment their resiliency and ability to understand the transitions that we all face.

You are not satisfied in life while your marriage and your family are failing. I help struggling families rekindle their strengths and work together in harmony! Your relationships are complex, so I use research and years of experience to bring you back to center. I enjoy my work and the opportunity to turn pain and frustration into healthy families. I bring that joy to my clients, using the Gottman Method, CBT, DBT, MBSR and SFT with great success.

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.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and an expert in treating children and adolescents struggling with emotional and behavioral difficulties. I strongly believe that compassion, validation, and a powerful relationship are cornerstones of effective therapy. I consider myself an insightful therapist who is empathic and non-judgmental. I place very high value on research-driven treatments. I do not limit treatment to the alleviation of presenting symptoms, but rather address the underlying causes. I am active, warm, and attentive, and we will work together to make sure you are making the progress you seek.

To parents, their children are the most important part of their lives. No one wants to see their child struggle. Navigating the difficult years from preteen to adolescent to young adult can be a daunting task. In my work with young people, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help work through issues related to emotional difficulties, academic struggles, and behavioral problems. CBT focuses on learning new ways to think, feel, and behave and addresses pressing issues. As treatment progresses, I want patients to feel more able to utilize new strategies and skills while improving the quality of their life, education, relationships, and experiences.

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. Please note that sessions are offered virtually now.

Children & Preteens can be particularly vulnerable to change & life's stressors. Many lack the skills necessary to cope in a positive way. Identifying feelings, triggers, & problematic behaviors in a warm, non-judgmental environment can help bring about change. I specialize in working with clients who may be struggling with: anxiety, depression, divorce, death, family transitions, social skills, bullying, academics and/or self-esteem. My goal is to provide support & work to resolve issues brought into focus by stress, transitions, or other triggering situations. When children feel safe, nurtured, and validated they are open to acquiring skills necessary for emotional growth.

Do you suffer from stress, depression or anxiety? Do you have difficulty just getting through the day? Don't give up on yourself! I am an experienced therapist who personalizes therapy to match each client's individual needs and personality. My style is warm and supportive, with a solution oriented, down-to-earth approach. I make therapy a comfortable and natural experience- I love what I do, and will give you my undivided attention. I can give you the tools to build upon your strengths, work around your weaknesses, and develop a sense of inner balance and well-being.

As a systemic thinker, I am always looking at a person in relationship to their environment, and the people in it. With a strength-based approach in family therapy, I also use psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral principles, while providing a safe and empathic environment for our work together. I have treated families, couples and individuals for 16 years with a broad scope of culture, age and relational issues. I have helped many people through transitional events that affect them throughout their lives; school, career, marriage, parenting, illness, loss, divorce and retirement. My interest is in the relationship you have with yourself and those around you.
