Life is too short to let the everyday burdens we face create turmoil, and gain control over our emotions. Our feelings can control us or we can learn to control them. A situation, person, place, or thing only has the power to control our feelings...if we let it. It is our responsibility (and only ours) to control our feelings and behavior. Thus, we can find true contentment and serenity.

Lia Friedman is a Licensed Associate Counselor in New Jersey who has been practicing since 2021. Lia believes that we do not see things as they are, we see them as we are; that although you cannot completely avoid pain in life, you do not need to suffer as a consequence. In other words, our life experiences, including those that have been traumatic, shape how we see and interact with the world. Sometimes we get stuck in the injustice of our experience, but that does not help us heal or move forward. Lia offers a balanced combination of compassion, empathy and challenging with care when needed.

I am really happy you have taken the first step. I know it can be overwhelming to even think about starting the process of finding a therapist for yourself or a family member.

Work. Family. Friends. Why can't life be simpler? With multiple deadlines, a growing to-do list, and a family and social life that demands attention. You know that you can be successful, but you're beginning to think that you are dropping too many balls. The constant pressure to perform is turning into unrelenting anxiety and your performance is suffering. Therapy sounds like it might be a good idea, but no way can you dedicate seasons or years to making things better. Your work cannot wait, your spouse/lover cannot wait, you cannot wait. Efficiency is critical. Confidentiality is critical. But you're ready to do what it takes.
