Teletherapy for New Jersey

When you have experienced a trauma, developed uncontrollable anxiety, have a child who is overwhelmingly oppositional, or anything in between, it can feel extremely isolating. That is why we are here at Sullivan Counseling Services. No one should ever feel alone when they are going through a difficult time and may need an outside source to help guide them in the right direction. Our goal is to help each person who comes to therapy gain motivation and move in a positive direction to better their current situation.

Hi, my name is Dr. Nadia Huq. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and their families. Previously, I worked as a psychologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center’s Pediatric Psychiatry Department for 7 years. While I am primarily trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), my therapeutic approach integrates multiple modalities to address an individual’s treatment goals. I often collaborate with schools and additional treatment providers in order to provide comprehensive care for my clients.

I have extensive experience and success with adults, children, adolescents and families. My specializations include anxiety management, behavior management, parenting and focus/attention. I also have a lot of experience helping individuals (adults and children) that have autism, attention deficits and social deficits. I have a history of success with school refusal and peer relations. I use talk therapy, cognitive therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, family systems, play therapy, parent-child interactional therapy techniques, expressive therapy and applied behavior analysis in my multi- modality approach to treatment.

You don’t need to struggle with your child’s anxiety or behavior issues on your own. As a Psychologist, I use talk and play therapies designed specifically for your child and your unique family situation. Early treatment can provide benefits that last a lifetime and I aim for children to feel understood and heard while helping parents to gain insight and tangible strategies that can impact the dynamic of the entire family. With compassion, knowledge and energy, I offer hope, support, and solutions that result in progress and change.

I've worked extensively with youth, adolescents, and adults providing individual and/or family therapy. I will work with you, in a caring and empathetic way, to provide tools and psychoeducation to assist treating ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum Disorder, trauma, and parent/child relationships.

In my work, I have always strived to help others. Being a therapist & helping others through counseling has truly become my passion. As a first generation eldest Muslim- Pakistani daughter, I have found hope and healing for my clients and for myself in therapy. I firmly believe with a help of a therapist, you can break cycles, and start new patterns. My job is to support you and provide a safe space so you can explore all feelings without judgment. I use a strengths based approach with all my clients. Relationships are a focus of my work, specifically parent-child, family and sibling relationships.

Making the decision to begin therapy is no small feat. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe and nurturing environment in order for clients to feel comfortable sharing their experiences. My primary approach to therapy includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Parent-Management Training and Solution Focused Therapy. I treat a variety of mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, oppositional defiance, ADHD, and trauma related disorders.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan using compassionate and evidence-based theories. I serve and assist clients with life-interfering anxiety and depression, personality disorders and interpersonal conflicts. I also work with mood disorders and assist in changing challenging behavioral patterns that interfere with their quality of life. Everyone wants to build and feel as though they are developing a life worth living. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that I am here to help and will treat you with respect and promise to hold a non-judgmental space for you.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I aim to help those who may be at a point of feeling voiceless, hopeless and at times lost.

My patients are children/adolescents who are struggling emotionally. My goal is to help each child/adolescent reduce their distressing symptoms and live an enhanced quality of life. Although the child/adolescent is the patient, I work collaboratively with the parents/family and well as the child's school/psychiatrist as needed. My work is short term, evidenced based, and FUN!

During these uncertain times, feelings of worry, sadness, anger and loneliness are more common, but you are not alone and do not need to face these feelings in isolation.
