Therapists in Middlesex, NJ

It takes courage to start therapy. To become aware of old beliefs & behaviors that no longer work. To be open to healing from the past and creating a more authentic & fulfilling future. I use an integrative approach, combining Psychodynamic theory, CBT, as well as concepts from Evolutionary Psychology to guide my clients through this process. As needed, I also add in several science-based stress management interventions, such as: breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, positive visualizations, etc. My clients report they feel more relaxed, less reactive and just generally happier over time.

I believe that struggle is a natural and expected part of human existence. My role as your therapist will be to help you identify, process and overcome these struggles and obstacles so that you may become the best version of yourself. Identifying your strengths, weaknesses, inner and interpersonal dynamics will open up the opportunity to bring relief from the distress you're feeling and thereby, live a more fulfilling life. My therapeutic style is warm and person-centered and I firmly believe that the therapist-client relationship is of utmost importance. I work from a psychodynamic and CBT framework.

Hi! Thanks for being here today! My name is Anna and I am a licensed professional counselor, as well as licensed alcohol and drug counselor in the state of NJ.

We all have our “stuff.” It’s part of what makes us human. Some of this causes distress in our daily life that can lead to overwhelming emotions. As painful as life can sometimes feel, these moments provide the opportunity for growth and healing. My approach is genuine, straight forward, integrative, holistic, humorous and relational. I facilitate open and honest communication with clients. Developing trust and safety in our relationship is my foremost priority.

Psychotherapy is a practice of deep listening and a process that provides the opportunity for growth and self-discovery. Therapy can help you feel connected, grounded and deeply understood; it facilitates the opportunity to work through current and older challenges, which are impacting you (and possibly your loved ones) in the present. My style is holistic, eclectic and relational. I provide a safe environment, listen deeply and engage genuinely with the individuals, couples and families I meet. I believe that we each possess the innate ability to transform our lives so we can flourish, create, connect, accept and thrive.

You can help yourself become healthier and happier. As an experienced psychologist, I enjoy working collaboratively with adults and couples to achieve this goal. I value these clients as individuals and approach them in a caring, nonjudgmental way. Although my training has provided me with a wide variety of tools, my experience has taught me which tools are most likely to help in any given situation. Some approaches I use are: psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, behavioral, and interpersonal. In addition, I believe in educating clients about the therapy process so that they can be a partner in their own treatment.

In addition to working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, or difficulties in their relationships, I have worked for many years with women and men who have experienced childhood sexual, physical or emotional abuse, or adult sexual assault. I have learned from listening to their stories that recurring thoughts and images about the trauma, or less conscious feelings such as fear and worthlessness, or difficulties letting anyone get close, can persist, even if it happened long ago. My focus in therapy is to help you work through these experiences so they no longer prevent you from living more fully in your present life.
