Our Center offers a variety of therapeutic services in an ethical, nurturing, and supportive manner

Over the past thirty years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults with diverse mental health issues including, depression, anxiety, Post-concussive syndrome, ADHD, learning disabilities, ASD, addiction, grief, and trauma. Recognizing that individuals experience stress in many aspects of their life and struggle with life's transitions, I work with children and adolescents transitioning through the stages of development and with adults facing marital, parenting, custody and relationship issues. I conduct psychological and neuropsychological testing to evaluate for mental health, academic, and neurological issues.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and one of the owners of a group practice called Inspire Wellness. Inspire Wellness is made up of 25 clinicians with various specialties. We have offices throughout Bergen County offering therapy, Sport Psychology, Neuropsychological Testing, and Forensic Psychology. Working in a group decreases the likelihood that we run a waiting list and allows clients to find a clinician with the specialty and approach that fits their specific need. We have a full office staff that are able and willing to answer your questions and will assist you in dealing with your insurance needs.

Calling to make your first appointment to enter therapy takes a great deal of courage. I believe in creating a safe place for you to express yourself and to explore what brings you into therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients. We will both take an active role in the process of helping you to explore present and past dynamics and experiences in your life. In my practice I draw from a wide range of theoretical approaches and techniques studied and used throughout my years as a therapist.

Having had a diversity of experiences allows me a unique ability to approach helping others. I provide neuropsychological assessment as well as a variety of treatment services, using an mix of various orientations and modalities. I understand how cognitive and emotional difficulties can impact not just school/work functioning but also personal relationships and family life. I appreciate that parents and families can play an important role in treatment and include them when appropriate. I work with a variety of emotional and neurological issues with the ultimate goal of helping my clients get the most they can from their lives.

We take a comprehensive approach to understand the challenges our clients face on a daily basis. We strive to turn these challenges into positive and measurable outcomes. We help individuals by teaching evidence-based techniques which can be applied directly to the workplace, athletics and social/emotional functioning. Our clients learn how to perform effectively by increasing focus and attention, setting specific goals, decreasing negative emotions and increasing confidence. Whether you are an adolescent, professional in the workplace, competitive athlete, or an individual adapting to a life transition, we can help you to articulate and achieve your personal goals.

I work with individuals and couples of all ages, backgrounds, and sexual orientations, treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief/loss, eating disorders, couples in crisis, professional dilemmas, parenting issues and more. I also specialize in coping with pain, fatigue, insomnia, and chronic illness including chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, and fibromyalgia.

Relationships are hard. Feeling like you & your partner are too busy, with no time for each other. That you've grown apart, almost like roommates. Intimacy barely existent. Having the same, unresolved arguments. Uncertain about where your relationship stands. Divorce keeps popping up in your mind. Feel like you keep swiping -- dating scene feels defeating. Looking for hope, a new route for your relationship(s) - rebuilding, reconnecting or separating/divorce or an open relationship. It's scary to embark on individual or couple's therapy, sharing all of this with a stranger, but you're ready to work & create change.

I deal with depression, anxiety, stress, panic, low self-esteem, or relationship problems. Have been practicing for thirty years. I know how to help people change their patterns, emotions, and distressing thoughts. I believe in human resilience, capacity and desire to move on to a better life. I try various modalities to assist you. Have recently hired an associate, Nina Nagy, a Somatic and Trauma Healing Therapist (SEP). She brings with her the expertise to regulate the ANS and work with trauma in the body. This approach works in addition/ stand alone to any verbal therapy, I offer. Nina's website awakeabiding.com.

I work with adolescents, adults and couples, primarily utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Psychodynamic interventions to assist clients with a variety of issues including depression (uni and bipolar), anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, parenting challenges and relationship stress. I work with late teens and emerging adults as they navigate this major life transition with an emphasis on collaboratively discovering coping strategies to manage anxiety and depression. I also work with families to reduce conflict, improve communication and connectivity,

As a compassionate, dedicated, and enthusiastic therapist, I utilize a personalized, educational form of cognitive-behavioral therapy. I assist clients in identifying stressors, developing coping skills, and empowering individuals to achieve their maximum potential. Based upon my experience in the field, I have come to the conclusion that it is of the utmost importance to include an integrative approach when working with children.

Are you struggling? I can help. I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals with a variety of issues ranging from depression and PTSD to executive functioning and parenting issues. Often, my clients tell me that they struggle for too long before seeking help because they hope things will improve or they are ashamed of their issues. I am non-judgmental and can offer you the professional help you've been looking for. I hope you reach out today and start your journey of change, hope, and improved mental health.

Are you a teen or young adult who is feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or just the stress of day-to-day life? Are you having difficulty in school due to anxiety or sad thoughts? As a parent, do you want to understand your son or daughter's challenges in addition to working on having better communication as a family? I understand the pressure that young people face as they are expected to maintain good grades and socialize with peers while going through many developmental changes. Our therapy sessions can be a supportive and understanding environment for you.

Now more than ever, it is clear that one's mental health must be nurtured. It is my belief that mental health is just as important to one's well being as one's physical health, if not more so. We must allow ourselves the opportunity to achieve emotional and mental clarity in order to promote positive change. Having the opportunity to discuss one's feelings in a relaxed and non-judgmental atmosphere is something that I take seriously as a clinician. I view the therapist-client relationship as a very special one, which I feel requires a mutual respect towards the process of healing.

As a licensed psychologist in practice for over 25 years, I have been so fortunate to have fostered personal growth and fulfillment in those I have worked with. I help people to build on their strengths in order to enjoy their lives. The first sign of strength is recognizing that there is a problem and coming for help. I work with people of all ages, but specialize in adolescents and young adults. I deal with a wide variety of emotional difficulties and have experience helping with adjustment to college and early adulthood, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and parenting concerns.

No one should be alone in their struggles. Helping others to discover peace and fulfillment in their lives, I partner and work with individuals, children/adolescents, couples, and families. I help equip clients with the necessary tools to overcome tough experiences that life can bring including anxiety, depression, stress, and more. On this journey to transform perspectives, we will collaboratively work together to find purpose in the day to day life and ultimately reach mental, emotional, and relational health.

Do you and your partner argue all the time? Do you feel a growing distance from one another? Is there a lack of trust because of cheating or not living up to commitments? For more than 30 years I've helped hundreds of couples and individuals build stronger and healthier relationships. As a licensed couples therapist and certified sex therapist I use a variety of proven techniques to help people solve conflicts, improve communication and ignite a spark in their sex lives. Together, we'll work to decrease anger, blame and defensiveness, replacing them with assertiveness, compassion and mindfulness. I work with diverse couples.
