"Is your child’s behavior concerning to you? Are they acting out, not listening, anxious, sad or angry ? Is your teenager rebellious, withdrawn, depressed, and struggling in school? Do you find yourself yelling all the time? Do you feel chronically frustrated and disconnected from your child or teenager ? Do you long for a more harmonious home environment where things go smoothly, people get along and everyone is content ? Do not lose hope; things can get better. Over the last decade, I have successfully guided children, teens and their families through all the above mentioned challenges and many more."

"Everyone has a unique and special story and life experiences that have brought them to the place they are in now. I am here to listen empathically without judgement and help understand the person you are and the struggles and challenges you are facing. I use various modalities of therapy customized to meet my clients needs. I will implement a personalized therapeutic approach dependent on the assessment of your individual circumstances and needs . When needed, I collaborate with various other professionals including psychiatrists, dietitians, treatment programs, and other programs suited for my individualized client's needs."

"I am a warm and empathetic therapist in clinical practice for over 25 years, I appreciate how difficult it is to talk to someone about very personal and challenging issues. I believe that a person can grow and empower oneself via talk therapy and building a therapeutic alliance. My specialties include depression, anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, issues of cancer survivors, grief counseling, change of life issues, divorce, marital and couples counseling. My practice draws upon cognitive behavioral, motivational theory, DBT(Dialectic Behavioral Theory), mindfulness and interpersonal dynamics. I work with individuals (age 18 and older), couples and families."

"Are your feelings of anxiety, depression or frustration getting in the way of your relationships or job? Do you have conflicted thoughts about handling stressful life circumstances that seem difficult to deal with on your own? Can it be a struggle for you to find meaningful relationships or get close to people? Have the same situations been continually happening to you over and over again and you can't figure out why? These are very common feelings and experiences for many people that can be positively worked through by engaging in the therapeutic process."

"I help people access their potential. By empowering and supporting you, you will find freedom from the pain of old wounds, recovery from trauma and gain new ways of coping and relating. Central to this work will be the relationship between therapist and client, which evolves within a safe and compassionate space, within which you will find the courage to explore your concerns without feeling pushed or pathologized."

"PLEASE NOTE: my practice is currently full. I will remove this message when I have more availability - thank you! Being a good therapist requires more than being a good listener - my treatment style is dynamic, interpersonal, and focused on creating real and lasting change. My eclectic approach draws from psychodynamic, EMDR, and CBT skill-building models. Contact me today so that you can start living the life you want."

"I specialize in perinatal and infant mental health. Perinatal psychological issues occur in the times before, during, and/or after a pregnancy. Postpartum depression is the most often talked about condition, but symptoms are not always limited to AFTER a child is born. These feelings can be extremely distressing, especially during a time when others are expecting you to be happy. You may be suffering after a miscarriage, stillbirth, or even death during pregnancy. I can offer a comfortable, safe place for you to begin to heal and move forward."

"I work in an eclectic manner with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, loss, PTSD, at-risk behaviors, relationship issues and life transitions. I offer a supportive and interactive experience for clients, providing the most appropriate modality and pace for each client. For over 30 years, I have enabled teenagers, adults and older adults to master the skills needed to manage emotions and navigate life's challenges. I do assessments to verify people needing "Therapy Pets" for travel and Clinical Assessments for Bariatric Surgery. I offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy as an alternate experiential approach or as an adjunct modality to traditional talk therapy."

"Listening, understanding and helping you to build new coping skills is the foundation for creating lasting change. I use an eclectic approach to treatment, tailored to each clients specific needs and goals. I received my Ph.D. from Fairleigh Dickinson University, and am trained in psychodynamic therapy, dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy models."

"Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you might find yourself stuck or overwhelmed by life, leaving you feeling anxious and unsettled. Whether you are in the midst of changes in your life or need that extra support to make a necessary transition, therapy can help you find clarity, direction, and support. Working together, we can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop strategies to help you move forward."

"It is my pleasure and privilege to work with individuals, couples and families in my Ridgewood private practice. Since receiving my Ph.D. in 1998, I have had the opportunity to offer psychotherapy to late teens and adults who are struggling with issues related to mood, anxiety, body image, self worth and relationships. I take a highly interactive approach to treatment, engaging with my patients as they explore the obstacles to their optimal spiritual, mental, physical and emotional well-being. Our goal, working together, is to turn those obstacles into opportunities for openness and integrity in personal and relationship issues."

"I treat teens through adults experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, interpersonal difficulties and adjustments to major life changes, such as school transitions and becoming a parent. It is easy to sometimes lose sense of who we are, as we become accustomed to the routines of our lives, and to the worries of our days - big and small. I work with clients to unpack the things that led to feeling emotionally unwell, and to develop and build on skills to address these issues in order to help clients feel more empowered in making positive changes in their lives."

"I work with individuals (14 or older) who are reflective, curious about themselves, and desire change. The therapeutic relationship is the fundamental factor in effective therapy and provides you with a safe, comfortable place to discuss issues and patterns in your life that are interfering with reaching your potential. My training has prepared me to help you work through problems and help you understand your emotional life, patterns and experiences from your formative years that impact on your life now; A better understanding of your emotional life will help you make meaningful changes toward finding happiness."

"The great majority of my clients suffer from anxiety and depression often triggered by conflicts in families, school, jobs, with authority figures, and peers. I enable my clients unlock their strengths and skill sets to unstick themselves, address their barriers and conflicts, and find solutions. My client base includes teachers, students, law enforcement officers, parents, professionals, and financial advisers. Through my leadership experience in crises and trauma events (including 9/11), I have developed a coping model presented in my book, Resiliency. I use this model to help people to "bounce back" and restore high-level functioning. My approaches are short-term and solution-based."

""What you think about you bring about." Think about this quote for a moment. It describes who you are. If you want to change your feelings and behaviors you must first change the way you think. Therapy begins the moment you pick-up the phone. It is my priority to personally respond to all inquiries and first time appointments. My number one goal is to help you make lasting changes in your life and to unleash your inner strength."

"As one travels through the different stages of life, many challenges inevitably arise. These challenges can be the result of life circumstances, such as chronic pain, loss of a loved one, childhood/ parenting problems or relationship difficulties. These challenges can also be due to chronic or severe conditions such as depression, anxiety, cognitive disorder or thought disorder. A thorough assessment and psychological treatment plan can help you navigate all of these types of challenges and achieve optimal emotional health."

"As interactive, solution-focused therapists, our treatment approach aims to provide support and practical feedback as we help clients address current life challenges and long-standing issues. With compassion and understanding, we help individuals find resolution to a wide range of personal and/or family concerns, as well as psychological issues. We utilize an integration of DBT, CBT, and psychodynamic approaches as we help our clients develop constructive skills and coping strategies, as well as discover an understanding and acceptance of what underlies their struggles with emotions, stress, self-esteem, relationships, and communication."
