Somatic Therapists in Piscataway, NJ

You’re aware that time is running out. You think about this more than others, which can get very lonely. You seek that which is meaningful, authentic, sacred. You’ve put time, money and energy into this quest. You’re exhausted. You’ve been disappointed so many times. Don’t settle. This is your life, your therapy. You know you need the courage to live by your convictions, but it’s hard to clarify exactly what you believe in. You know you need partnership and community, but when things go sideways in your relationships, at work, with family and friends, they’re not telling you what you’re doing wrong.

As a Licensed Social Worker and certified Trauma therapist, I aim to support my clients in navigating life's challenges, fostering a transformative experience that promotes inner purpose and resilience. Seeing primarily adults, my focus is on creating a safe and empowering environment through a client-centered and strength-based approach.

Hi! My name is Sarah, I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist and community partner at Healing Reimagined. I've been providing trauma informed counseling in non-profits, sexual violence prevention programs, and long-term mental health & substance abuse treatment for the last 5 years. I primarily work with individuals who are navigating anxiety and life changes, folks who have been affected by interpersonal violence, addiction, or other traumas. My intention is to create a space that feels secure for folks to feel seen and heard for who they are, while moving through their own healing process.

So many issues and roadblocks are too hard to face alone. Some can feel overwhelming. My role is to partner with you to help you find solutions and peace of mind. I have 20 years of experience as a therapist, helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma (past and present), relationship difficulties, grief and loss, cancer treatment, cancer survivorship, recovery from addiction, and more.

Accepting new clients! Have you been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed? Perhaps you feel like you don’t know what to do or who to turn too. I understand this feeling, but I also know what it feels like to fully recover from this dark place. I believe that anyone who wants to change their life is able to take the steps necessary if they have the right support. At Olive Branch Therapy Group we are here for you to start that journey. During this therapeutic journey, we will begin by building a strong, supportive rapport. I understand that nothing is more important than feeling heard and understood.

Imagine you had a friend struggling with a problem, wouldn’t you do everything in your power to help them? Now imagine that friend is you. Give yourself the same grace, respect, and attention you would give to a friend in need. Whether you have been struggling with depression throughout the pandemic in silence or are just realizing your persistent anxiety is not getting better with exercise. Therapy can be the solution to heal the past and keep you focused on the present.

As a holistic psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I integrate left & right brain techniques to promote healing and well-being. I'm a registered yoga teacher, somatic and mindfulness practitioner, reiki healer, and artist. I'm passionate about expressive arts and the mind-body-spirit connection to help clients cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and inner joy. Thru yoga therapy, creative expression, and relaxation techniques, clients explore different aspects of themselves, fostering emotional healing and self esteem building. I also lead a structured virtual DBT group teaching emotion regulation skills to supplement.

Are you feeling stuck? Disconnected from you desires? Confused? Have you struggled with feeling different or building satisfying relationships? Strong, loving relationships are essential to wellbeing. No relationship is more important than the one you have with yourself. I want to help you achieve better integration of mind and body through self-compassion, acceptance, mindfulness, and embodiment. I have specialized experience working with LGBQ, Trans, Poly/ENM, GNC/NB, Kinky, and Sex Working individuals. While I don't accept insurance I do offer sliding scale services to individuals $40-$150 based on need.

I work primarily with children, teenagers, and college students, as well as adult women, specializing in trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Welcome! I have worked in this field for over 13 years. I work with preteens, adolescents, college students, and adults. My training and clinical specialties include complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and effects of stress on daily functioning at any age. I work with clients who may feel stuck, isolated, and blocked from engaging in life. Throughout life one faces milestones and expectations that may exacerabate past traumas, poor self-image, and ways of coping that feel uncontrollable. In therapy, I believe that even the most intimate aspects of one's life can be safely explored in a collaborative and caring environment.

Navigating life in your 20s, 30s, or 40s entails more than just external changes—it's about finding clarity in your life direction, "shedding the shoulds," cultivating self-awareness, and prioritizing self-care amidst the hustle and bustle. As an integrative therapist, I provide a nurturing space guiding you towards a deeper understanding of yourself and your aspirations. Whether you're grappling with career burnout, codependent relationships, or the relentless pursuit of perfection, I'm here to support you. It's time to empower yourself to put your well-being first, embrace your authenticity, and thrive amidst these transitions.

I utilize an integrated approach, focusing on the whole person. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist. Additionally, I utilize IFS, Mindfulness, Meditation and Polyvagal Theory. These modalities can help with an array of challenges including, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD and overwhelm. My approach fosters the opportunity to process overwhelm without overwhelming the nervous system.

My therapeutic style is empathetic and solution-oriented: I help you identify specific goals and develop the tools you need to achieve them. To do this, I use Insight-oriented & Cognitive techniques to help you understand the emotional patterns that cause you to behave in ways that are harmful, identify the thoughts that are the result of these emotional patterns, and replacing these vicious cycles with more healthy behavioral patterns. These tools allow you to build the skills you need to feel increased calm, improved mood, and live a more fulfilling and happy live.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems or issues related to substance use? Maybe you have suffered a loss or been through a traumatic experience and are feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck, or just numb? You are not alone. Everybody needs help sometimes to cope in a healthy and skillful way with life’s challenges and changes. If you want to feel better, learn more about yourself, and identify patterns of behavior & thinking that no longer serve you well, therapy may help. Tap into your innate strengths, find new meaning from your experiences, or simply get some extra support and perspective.

You want to improve your communication skills, decrease reactivity, and bring intention to your daily life and relationships. You have experienced trauma and want a safe space to unpack it's impact. You are ready to grow, but finding a therapist that can relate to you is a challenge. As a queer, polyamorous, first-generation American woman, I know what it is like to feel misunderstood, underrepresented, and unheard in a therapy room. I welcome individuals with intersectional identities and work hard to provide affirming care to LGBTQIA, BIPOC, BDSM/kink, and consensual non-monogamous individuals, relationships, and communities.

I listen closely and on multiple levels to the people with whom I work. I want to hear how you think, how you experience the world, and how you feel. I'm fascinated by how psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis, can be thought of as processes of democratic empowerment and how we can create together movement towards freeing your desire and intuition to serve as guides for you. Whatever array of symptoms (anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma) that you struggle with, we will seek to unlock the hold they have on you so that you may gain greater personal freedom, creativity, and clarity around your sense of purpose and destiny.

I have been licensed in Florida since 2005 and now offer services in NJ. I partner with clients who are looking for something different than the "more of the same old school" approach. There is no " how does that make you feel", instead I use a collaborative partnership with you to make effective change and aim to make this process as exciting as possible. I work with individuals, children, couples and families & a wide variety of challenges. My goal is to work with my clients to rapidly achieve their goals and have them "fire me" as soon as possible!

We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. In therapy, I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness. I will bear witness to your life stories, acknowledge your successes and struggles, and help you to find renewed resilience, acceptance and change. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we take care of our whole self in mind, body and spirit.
