Therapists in Teaneck, NJ

Confidential, Caring and Professional...When times are difficult at home or at work (or school) and you feel overwhelmed and stressed...anxiety and depression often follow. Perhaps you have had a childhood that was traumatic or troubled and you haven't felt like you resolved it or thought you had but something from the past gets in the way.

Did you ever wonder what your life would have looked like if you had made some decisions differently? Did you ever have anyone to help or guide you, unconditionally, in exploring all your options in making those decisions? We make tons of life decisions, without getting to know ourselves or examining our own needs first. Sometimes we jump into commitments because we feel like we "should." As a result, we often find ourselves stuck in situations and don’t know how to move forward or why we even got there.

I believe therapy works because of the relationship between the therapist and the patient. When there is an environment of mutual trust, you, as the patient, can feel free to talk about things that you may not have not been able to talk about before. When that begins to happen, there is an immediate sense of relief. As therapy continues and you start to feel less anxious and depressed, you can begin to make positive changes in your life.

Psychotherapy can be a life changing process. In order to choose a therapist, you should consider their training and experience, but ultimately your therapist must be someone with whom you feel comfortable, safe and trusting. Psychotherapy is a collaboration, where the two of us are working together toward a full understanding of your problems in living. With that greater understanding, you will have more freedom of choice to be how you want to be, and who you want to be. We will need to understand your personal strengths as well as the difficulties and problems you have encountered.

I help people at proximal moments in their life. Events and situations can trigger anxiety, depression and/or traumatic memories requiring help to move through these difficult times. I offer support and empathy, combined with structured strategies to navigate through change.

Having been in private practice for approximately 25 years, as well as having worked in hospital, clinic, and school settings, I 've found people are unique individuals typically involved in a variety of systems including family, friends, school, or work.

Creating a respectful, warm, engaging atmosphere helps facilitate the therapuetic process. Research has shown that the therapuetic relationship between client and psychologist has proved most valuable in creating healthy and productve changes and an improved quality of life.
