My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, nurturing and nonjudgmental environment in which my clients can openly express their emotional needs and find solutions to the challenges life brings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 18 years experience specializing in preteens, adolescents, young adults and families. I have helped clients with anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, low self esteem, bullying, relationship and peer issues, academic issues, loss and divorce I believe the most success in therapy comes from focusing on the individual's needs and building on their strengths.

Now accepting new clients! Life can be challenging but I am here to help guide you. Struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, or trouble identifying feelings? My goal is to help my clients develop healthy coping skills for a myriad of life situations. I utilize a person centered approach while incorporating strength based and solution focused techniques. I am committed to creating a warm, non-judgmental, and safe space where my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves.

I offer a warm, strength-based, goal-oriented approach to therapy. I provide support and treatment for children, their families, and adults. I have a collaborative approach and so therapy would begin with us creating goals and expectations together. I offer a free phone, or video, consultation, so feel free to reach me!

As a woman, you may experience stress, anxiety, and the overwhelming thoughts such as: "am I living my best life," "what is the next steps in my life," "am I enough" or "am I doing enough?" You may be fed up with being unmotivated to make change while also feeling the constant dread that this will always be my life. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. However, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief! You’re ready to feel like yourself again. You’re ready to wake up with a clear mind. Most of all, you’re ready to live life with confidence and gain control over your life and anxiety.

As they say on an airplane, "place your oxygen mask on first before assisting others". It’s hard to care for children, parents, friends or family, if you’re not first caring for yourself. I welcome any client who is looking to help themselves. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, your self-esteem and social relationships aren’t where you’d like them to be, parenting effectively feels nearly impossible, or anything in between, I’m here to help. I began working with children in schools and developed a love for supporting the adults who care for them.

My methods are deeply rooted in empathy, aided by a caring heart and an analytical mind, as well as an ability to build strong relationships and enlist clients' cooperation in facing life’s journeys. I use plain and even colorful language to create an atmosphere of safety, trust, honesty, openness, understanding, and growth. More than 7 of my years in practice have been dedicated to in-home therapy services. I have seen first-hand how much more at ease my clients are when completing sessions at home. I add to that comfort by bringing open-minded kindness, honesty, and respect to all households.

Everyone has a story. I believe people are deserving of a safe space to be genuinely seen and heard. I am here to support and empower my clients in their growth and fulfillment as they navigate their own unique journey through life. Although I work with clients of most ages and all backgrounds, many of my clients are millennial adults who are wanting to discover and connect with themselves on a deeper level as they experience the full spectrum of the human experience. Sessions are often a balance of supporting my clients as they process thoughts and feelings, and empowering them to develop new patterns in coping and communication.

Hi, I'm Dr. Phillips! I work in New York City and Montclair, NJ and am currently taking new clients in both locations. I have worked with youth and families from many different backgrounds and believe in two fundamental truths: (1) modern life, in different ways, can be very hard for any person, regardless of one's circumstances, and (2) we are all trying our best, but sometimes we get “stuck.” I specialize in working with children and adolescents, and their families who are trying to understand and support them.

Hello and welcome. It is easy to become upset when we experience hardships and lack a safe and supportive environment in which to work through them. Nor does it help when, owing to circumstances beyond our control, we find it difficult to be ourselves and lose touch with what makes us "us." What has been found helpful in such circumstances is a trusting and respectful relationship with a therapist. Such a relationship, and the insight it promotes, can facilitate growth, empowerment, and positive change.

I have worked collaboratively and effectively with those individuals addressing their difficulties such as anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, self-esteem, life transitions and trauma. While working together in a safe space, we will strive to reduce/eliminate negative thoughts and feelings. To achieve this outcome, I utilize a client-centered approach along with a CBT framework. Strengths are emphasized in therapy as an important asset to treatment success. Although individuals going through challenging times tend to seek out therapy, caregivers are often overlooked as those who could benefit from support themselves.

Have you been in therapy for some time yet still feel stuck? Do you find yourself feeling disconnected from your body, your feelings, or the people you love? I believe that everyone has the capacity to live a happy and a fulfilling life, and I can help you get there. Regardless of how long you’ve been battling anxiety, depression, relational problems, trauma, or issues of self-esteem, I will accompany you in your healing journey with compassion and acceptance. As a trauma therapist, I rely on my knowledge of the neurobiology of trauma, Polyvagal , structural dissociation, and attachment theory to guide my interventions.

My goal is to support you in finding meaning and being more present in your life, utilizing a holistic approach that fits your unique strengths, needs, and culture. I am passionate about supporting teens, adults, and couples through this client-lead, goal-oriented approach. I am a counselor, art therapist, and certified in EMDR. These approaches allow me to meet a wide array of client needs, from day-to-day stress and anxiety, to the healing of deep trauma wounds or other stuck points as we expand toward your new areas of growth. Together, we will focus on your strengths to create a plan that feels supportive and achievable for you.

Life is really hard these days, with a constant pressures and stressors. It is common to feel stuck in being able to create changes relating to depression, anxiety, and traumas. You want to create changes in your life, feel that you deserve to feel better, but haven't figured out what you need to do to create that change. The feelings of anxiety, sadness and inability to connect fully with other people in your life is persistent. I'm here to help work to decrease that stress.

Have you ever thought about what it would it feel like to maximize the meaning and joy in your life? If the answer is yes, then let’s work together to help you discover and meet your life goals. It does not matter how old we are, it is never too late. Life goals can include increasing self-esteem, investing in healthier relationships, decreasing anxiety and depression, career transitions, improving work or school performance, sobriety, and experiencing an overall sense of enhanced well-being.

Tri-Meta proudly offers individual therapy, marital/couples' counseling, and family therapy. We believe that your story extends beyond the problems and issues you’re facing right now. We know how important it is to take your entire life experience and identity into account when helping you navigate through present struggles. We have worked to build a team of diverse, experienced, and dedicated therapists who are passionate about providing support to all individuals and communities. Each of our therapists has extensive training in systemic psychotherapy –

You often feel misunderstood, ignored, even silenced, and this prevents you from asking for what you want...for what you deserve. And, every time you think you are ready to say how you feel or ask for what you want, you realize you are just too exhausted and would rather keep your feelings to yourself to avoid conflict. Deep down you know that you are struggling with your confidence (although you may not show it on the outside). You find yourself in a cycle of unhealthy relationships but you can’t find the motivation or the courage to break the cycle. It’s time to break the cycle and speak up.

If you are considering psychotherapy, you are looking for someone who will understand your difficulties and help you make positive changes in your life. I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, adjustment to life changes, family dysfunction, grief and loss, the after-effects of trauma, and other concerns that interfere with daily functioning. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the key to successful therapy and I strive to provide a non-judgmental setting and develop a trusting and collaborative relationship with each of my clients. The benefits of therapy can include better self-understanding, increased self-confidence, and improved coping strategies.
