Hello! My name is Cailin and I am so glad you’re here. As an experienced clinical social worker, I have worked for the past decade to help adolescents and young adults ages 14-26 in various settings. This time in one’s life is filled with transition, identity development, and emerging independence, and these changes can create anxiety, worry, changing moods, and lack of self-esteem in many. In addition to the normative developmental changes, young people today face a myriad of new and ever-evolving challenges in the age of social media, societal unrest+ uncertainty, and significant pressure to experience success.

Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, family or workplace conflict, feeling “stuck,” burnt-out, or uncertain, I will work alongside you to address these challenges and work towards empowerment and ease. I am committed to helping individuals get to know their strengths and areas of resiliency as well as the thoughts, feelings, or patterns of behavior that stand in their way. I believe in promoting self-understanding and personal empowerment.

My approach to therapy comes from a person centered lens and systems approach. In short, this means I approach every person that I have the honor to work with as the experts on their own lives and the many factors that effect their overall well-being. I approach every client with curiosity and unconditional positive regard while guiding them to see themselves through this lens as well. In session, patients can expect talk therapy with principles of behavior change techniques weaved in to provide some tools to meet their personal goals.

Times of transition are difficult for all human beings, but adjusting to adulthood is uniquely challenging. I'm passionate about helping young women and college students find their way during this exciting but often overwhelming time in life.

Welcome! I'm Dr. Alexis Chirban, and I'm here to guide you through the intricate pathways of the human mind, empowering you to unlock your full potential and thrive in every aspect of your life. My passion lies in three key areas: enhancing well-being, sports psychology and perinatal mental health. Enhancing Well-being: True well-being encompasses the integration of mind, body, and spirit. I use a holistic approach to treatment that goes beyond addressing current mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, etc.) and cultivates a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Are you curious about the different parts of yourself? I can help you sort through your different feelings, reactions, and beliefs.

Also, I am available to help kids struggling with the challenges of distance learning and being separated from their peers. I approach our time together with compassion and a positive presence. My hope is that clients will feel comfortable and at ease.

I believe helping you with the issues you bring to therapy starts with empathy and respect. As partners in this process, we will work together to seek a deeper, compassionate understanding of the issues you are seeking help with. We will work to understand the forces- past and present- that contribute to your struggles. Through this lens I will help you mobilize your strengths and values, cope effectively now, and empower you to change lifestyle patterns that maintain emotional pain. No matter how stuck or hopeless you may feel, it is always possible to make changes and move toward a more fulfilling life.

As a clinician, I aim to be a point of guidance, trust, and support for the communities and individuals who need it most. I work with individuals to help cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem, substance use, and more. I work with a wide range of clients, from adolescents to adults, to help them move through life's challenges with understanding, compassion, and the confidence they need. I utilize techniques including CBT and Motivational Interviewing, while keeping a focus on harm reduction and trauma informed care. I hope to provide a warm, non-judgmental and empathetic space for all the clients I work with.

An ideal client for me would be a 40-year-old woman struggling with anxiety and self-esteem issues. This client would feel overwhelmed by life's demands and needs help navigating challenges. I would imagine they would want to feel more in control of their emotions, set boundaries, improve self-esteem, and have a better quality of life they want to achieve. The goal would be to manage stress, develop a strong sense of self-worth, and create balance and fulfillment in life.

Do daily tasks seem overwhelming? Do you have difficulty getting out of bed? Do you get triggered by things you see or hear? Issues like these can make your life seem nearly impossible to handle, let alone enjoy. But the most important question is this: Do you believe that you can overcome these things? I do. Graduated with a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from New York University, I am current a Mental Health Clinician at Joy Mental Fitness and also a Adjunct Instructor at Rutgers University in School of Health Professions.

Many of my clients are young adults, women, and children that are adjusting to new phases in their life and need help navigating their way through the rough bumps and turns in the journey. Common issues include: generalized anxiety, depression, stress management, emotional regulation, and processing past trauma. Most of my clients are facing significant life changes like becoming new parents, starting and/or ending relationships, switching jobs/career path, attending school/university, and dealing with complex family dynamics.

Are you seeking change? Do you want to let go of what no longer serves you? Are you eager to feel better about yourself and your life? For over 30 years as a therapist, educator, and clinical supervisor, I have enjoyed empowering both individuals and couples to become their own therapist, developing profound insight and applying useful tools. I help my clients find their own inner guidance. They can then move from depression to joy, anxiety to calm, conflict to peace, and hopelessness to gratitude. They come to know themselves better, feel more confident, appreciate their unique inner gifts, and navigate their lives more smoothly.
