Somatic Therapists in 07040

I am a therapist licensed in New Jersey and New York. Finding a safe space to share, explore and process our pain, fear, anxiety and stress is more important now than ever. I’m here to hold space, embrace you for who and where you are, to listen, and partner with you. I will offer feedback, tools, and adapt our sessions to help you manage all that life brings to you. I help people just like you to overcome their painful experiences and feel more balanced. We'll work together so that you can begin to build and to live your vision of the life you desire without the self doubt, and worries that are getting in your way.

Increasing your self-awareness through therapy in order to make conscious change in your life offers exciting and challenging opportunities to discover your whole self. By attending to what you feel, think and sense in the moment of the therapy session, you will begin to notice how the experiences we create together live outside of the session in your everyday life. The awareness you build in our sessions provides a stable ground from which you can make choices in life that will free you from the patterns of behavior that have limited you for so long.

You never need to traverse this path alone. I want to acknowledge your courage in embarking on this transformative journey. I often liken my role in this therapeutic voyage to that of a co-pilot or co-author of your life story. My core mission is to empower individuals to unlock their fullest potential by navigating unresolved issues, healing from trauma, and breaking free from maladaptive patterns that have held them back from happiness.

I am a warm and experienced clinical psychologist who specializes in adult and couples therapy. I help you feel more understood and supported in your relationships. I have extensive training in working with emotions, as well as understanding behavior and how to make positive changes in your life. There are always good reasons why you do what you do. We collaborate to understand what is getting in your way so you can achieve your goals. I can help you have better relationships.

People are often ambivalent when seeking help from a professional - it's not an easy thing to do to speak with a stranger about what troubles you. In my 30 years of experience I have found people have often suffered for long periods of time, and the first thing I can offer is realistic hope - hope that things can get better, and that life can feel worthwhile again. I offer help and hope for the practical problems of life as well as the more intangible, yet equally vital issues related to a sense of peace and contentment with one's life.

There are challenges at every stage of life. From early childhood on, we encounter problems at school, work and in all relationships that interfere with the pursuit of pleasure, happiness and inner peace. Despite our best efforts there are times when it helps to have a kind and objective ear to help us clarify our issues and move us towards better outcomes. I work with parents/toddlers, children of all ages, teens, adults and couples. I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive post-master's training and have over 35-years experience. I am fluent in Spanish; ofrezco citas. I strive to create a safe, warm, welcoming space.

Stress has become a daily part of life and unexpected life events happen. Rarely are we taught how to manage our stress. You may be struggling with a marital or relationship issue, a loss, anxiety or a life change. I am a very experienced therapist and a deeply compassionate person..... with a lot of life experience. Together we will figure out what you are going to need to heal. I will be with you ever step of the way. I take my work very seriously and am committed to helping you.

Are you seeking a life that feels more joyful, connected and in-control? With the right support, you can be happier, more deeply connected to yourself and other people, and gain control over extreme emotions or behaviors. In my practice, I encourage patients to investigate thought patterns, engage in mindful exercises and explore ways of knowing which access the unconscious. My approach is warm, open and practical and geared towards helping you deepen self-awareness and self-knowing. Whatever your personal goal is, we can work on it together.

If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, irritability or loneliness, you are clearly not alone, given how many therapists there are here! As a psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, I practice a powerful mindfulness-based intervention called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Often psychological pain has more to do with how we fight and judge our thoughts and feelings, and we end up in an exhausting internal struggle that we cannot win. We will work together to explore this struggle, gain distance from it, and learn skills and strategies to reduce impact and influence on your life.

My work is dedicated to helping you embrace who you are in order to live a fulfilling and balanced life. I focus on developing your ability to understand the powerful connection between your mind and body. This insight facilitates a path toward healing from current and past challenges. During the course of our work, I will help you develop your "Emotional Intelligence" (understanding of what motivates feelings and actions) and acquire the tools needed to overcome barriers blocking growth and change. Once you gain these coping skills, you will find yourself open to loving relationships, living in the present and creating a more fulfilling life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and work with adults, young adults/college students, teens, adolescents, and children in individual therapy. I work with a diversity of clients struggling with life transitions and adjustments, anxiety disorders (general, OCD, phobias, panic), depression, communication issues, trauma, grief and loss, sexuality and gender identity, educational or occupational difficulties, executive functioning, and parenting/caretaking. When working with young children I always work with their parents as well. I also offer school observations, for children ages 3-10, as needed for assessment and planning.

I am a psychotherapist/researcher/ neuroscientist who studies how emotions influence our physical and emotional wellbeing. My book" Why Good Sex Matters" (Houghton, Mifflin, Harcourt, 1/2020) explores how imbalances in the wiring of the core emotional systems can disrupt our capacity for pleasure and joy--(contributing to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and general stress)--and outlines tool to rebalance the body/mind. My clients are seeking insights, tools, and skills to empower their capacity to have deeply joyful and satisfying lives. I work with them to co-create a multifaceted approach to fit their unique needs.

I feel I am authentic, sensitive, warm, friendly, down-to-earth and, funny when appropriate. My inquisitive nature allows me to be a good listener. I take an approach of offering authority without being authoritarian. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity to learn how to get more from life. By joining with a competent professional you can process those areas of your life that seem "stuck", overwhelming, or just bugging you. Part of our work involves learning to solve problems. We will stay focused on your goal(s) to make sure you achieve them.

There are times in our lives where our struggles become especially difficult and we decide to seek out a therapist to walk a part of the journey with us. Therapy involves a very special kind of listening within the safety of a unique relationship. This special kind of listening is what is essential to my work. The development and transformation of each relationship between me and my client(s) is the creative, healing aspects of our work together.

Many of the people I work with have complicated stories and families. They have struggled with relationships and symptoms of different kinds and come to therapy to share their experiences, perhaps for the first time. I work with adults and adolescents to help them have healthier relationships and build self-esteem. As a Certified EMDR therapist, I use EMDR skills to assist in treating traumatic events and relational trauma. I help parents and adolescents address emotional needs. I help couples develop trust and intimacy through Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I love working with clients who are motivated to learn more about themselves and who struggle with OCD, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, codependency, boundary-setting, and challenging adult family dynamics. I draw on approaches like attachment theory, strengths based theory, confidence building, positive psychology, and exposure techniques to reduce intrusive thoughts and behaviors. I particularly enjoy clients in their 20s, early 30s, and 50s who are navigating life transitions and finding out more about who they are now.

I am deeply moved by the strength and resilience of my clients, as they work to find meaning and purpose in their lives, despite challenges, traumas, and losses, that constantly recreate their sense of Self. The work is a collaborative effort between myself and the client towards transforming their suffering, and help them facilitate a deeper relationship with themselves. I utilize an integral approach which encompasses Internal Family Systems, Relational Attachment Based, Somatic and Mindfulness Psychology. I am a certified consultant in both EMDR and Internal Family Systems
