"I am licensed in New Jersey as a practicing psychologist. I practice in Westfield. I work with people of all ages, either individually or as part of a couple or family. In my practice, I welcome general issues such as coping with depression, anxiety, stress, and other related issues. I have some special interests in recovering from trauma or abuse, coping with chronic illness or disability, and managing learning and neuro-developmental difficulties. I also work with issues such as avoiding burnout for small business owners, practice owners, and healthcare professionals. I love my work."

"Healing and change come from awareness, understanding and self-compassion. Therapy will help deepen your understanding of what makes you who you are. This process is empowering and will be the driving force in making positive changes in your life. I have a rich clinical history working with children, adults and couples facing an array of challenges. With extensive experience treating trauma survivors I have been trained in EMDR and incorporate a mindfulness approach into my practice."

"I will understand and help you resolve your issues and challenges; I am an experienced, caring and well-trained Ph.D. psychologist. I treat children, teenagers and adults as well as couples and families."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Welcoming a new child into your world and family is supposed to be a happy time? But for many, it is a real struggle to balance work and life in general with parenting on less than optimal amounts of sleep. Not to mention the hormonal changes you or your partner's body experiences in the weeks, months and years following birth. I am here to help you through this time in your life so you can be the best parent possible for your little ones. I commend you for taking the first step to seek help."

"Truth is essential to our mental integrity. Full access to the "truths" embedded in our personal stories and the emotions, beliefs and healthy impulses they engender make us "whole". They form the basis of our identity, resilience, self-worth; our very well being. The problem: our "truths" sometimes appear overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and/or terrifying, particularly if safe/trustworthy people haven't been available to help. In order to cope, real feelings are buried, "looking good" facades created and the past (consciously) ignored. Unfortunately, dissociating these truths creates a life that lacks choice and is instead stubbornly ruled by the past."

"I am glad you are here and exploring what is right for you! I believe that the therapy relationship, along with clinical knowledge, is the key towards effective therapy. A good therapist should be able to create a feeling of safety, which allows one to fully address issues and work towards their goals. Clients have told me that my down to earth style, sensitivity, and clinical skills made it possible to face the challenges that they were working through. I work with children, adolescents, and adults tailoring my approach to clients' individual style and developmental needs."

"I am a Buddhist psychotherapist with a focus on helping all clients find wellness through the Four Immeasurables - happiness, joy, compassion and equanimity.

I am passionate about serving first responders, veterans, and their families. For more information please view my website at http://www.4ilifepractice.com."

"I view good emotional and psychological health as boiling down to one word: perspective. With good perspective, we feel better; when we "lose perspective," we feel less well. With good perspective, we discover that our vulnerability and insecurities don't make us (or others) "weak." This insight alone, truly applied, can liberate us in wonderful ways. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer life coaching. I coach in a highly focused, motivational way, enabling me to help you "get out of your own way" in all ways you find yourself (like the rest of us) sabotaging your higher aims and goals."

"I have been in private practice in Westfield since 1995 with an emphasis on adolescents and adults in need of help coping with life's stressors. These stressors include, but are certainly not limited to depression and anxiety, developmental issues,school anxiety and school refusal, women's issues, parenting difficulties and social issues to name a few. Women in particular often cope with a great deal of stress related to work, family,loss and from time to time, serious illness. These strains can become overwhelming and coping may become difficult and sometimes impossible to do alone."

"Is this you? "I'm suffering from depression,"I'm fighting with my husband," "My wife is having an affair," "I can't stop eating," "I think I'm bulimic," I can't talk to my teenager," "I can't seem to find myself," Help is available...Call me for a free 15 minute consultation. You want someone who has worked with your problem before and who is easy to understand and easy to talk to. You want a setting where you can reach your therapist and never feel like you are a number.

"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 13 years of experience who graduated from New York University. My areas of expertise include working with children, adolescents, and families on a variety of issues, including: depression, anxiety, family conflicts/relational issues, as well as many other life stressors. I truly enjoy working with my clients, and want to help them to feel better about themselves and achieve their goals."

"In a safe, comfortable and strictly confidential setting, clients are encouraged to focus on environmental and family influences, as well as personality and emotional issues to directly address problems and develop an improved sense of well being and relationships. New and more adaptive coping mechanisms are developed to reduce conflict and stress. Strategies are designed to help clients negotiate more effectively at home, school, and in the workplace."

"Depression, anxiety and problems in relationships often cause deep anguish and pain - just getting by each day is tough. We often struggle alone believing things will never get better. Friends and family urge us to just get over it, but sometimes that makes it feel worse. You need someone to talk to. In the safety and privacy of our offices, you will have your therapist's unwavering attention, devoted to helping you untangle the mess that exists in your life. Together, we will help you change what you thought was unchangeable but also accept what you thought was unacceptable."

"I believe that within each individual, family, or relationship there is a natural and effective process for healing. Although in times of crisis helping a person or family find safety and stabilization becomes a priority, once this is established I have found an inside-out approach can be a powerful, creative, and effective process toward finding your unique self and path. I utilize an attachment informed approach to couples and family therapy"

"My practice philosophy is to understand my patient's situation and then to use many models of possible treatment either alone or together. Relationships can be difficult, life holds its challenges. I am trained in Behavioral Psychology but use it primarily as a tool to manage anxiety and depression. My overall practice is analytic and psychodynamic in nature. I am trained in hypnotherapy and also offer therapy, using a 12 session program, designed to help people with shyness. Another workshop type set of sessions is offered for an assessment of and treatment for, difficulties with motivation in college."
