Relationship Issues Therapists in Cranbury, NJ

I am a Columbia University trained licensed social worker who has been in private practice since 2007. Throughout my development and training as a clinician, my priority has been to maintain a fresh and open empathic approach to helping individuals and couples. My ideal goal is to establish rapport and connect with others, so that they can ultimately help themselves. I value a safe, comfortable meeting space where people can relax and be themselves, so that they can feel better as soon as possible.

As a Licensed Marriage Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have been helping Individuals and couples solve relationship problems, for 40 years. By learning proven, practical and positive approaches for resolving relationship difficulties, you will be able to understand and constructively address issues that may be undermining intimacy in your life. When interactions become reactive, defensive and not well thought out bad choices are often the result. I would like to help you achieve a successful resolution of your difficulties, in order for you to have the relationship you deserve.

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been practicing for over 35 years. Along with my private practice, I was the Director of Counseling at a private independent boarding/day high school and particularly enjoy supporting individuals that are making the transition to young adulthood. Prior to this, I was the Director of Family Therapy Training at a large and reputable mental health clinic. My particular expertise is in working with individual adults across their life span.

I focus on how I can help you achieve more in your life & career. My clients often identify the following problems: * Work stress * Feeling like a fraud at work * Frustration caused by relationship problems @ home or work * Depression which is hard to overcome * Compulsive, addictive behaviors that are causing health problems * Anxiety, panic attacks * Anger issues which are interfering with family & work relationships * Physical pain that is intensified by an inability to cope.

Whether you are a young adult overwhelmed by college, a parent trying to maintain intimacy with your partner, or a baby boomer searching for meaning in retirement, I provide a collaborative, non-judgmental therapeutic environment. My expertise, support, and practical feedback will help you tap into your strengths and reach your goals. You may be looking for individual therapy, or to come in with your partner or family. I have had great success with all configurations, as well as with people of all ages and backgrounds. I offer evening and Saturday hours to accommodate busy schedules, and have offices in West Windsor and Princeton.

I work with adults, couples, children and adolescents combining a variety of approaches including talk therapy and neurotherapy. I emphasize the value of our relationship, building trust by listening and understanding your needs. Treatment is geared to removing barriers that prevent you from having a meaningful life, developing the skills to support your journey towards healing and free you from negative emotions such as guilt, shame, fear, anxiety and anger. Through a process of self- exploration, problem solving, skills development, you can learn to overcome obstacles, clarify your values and reach your goals..

As a licensed professional counselor I provide clients with a safe space to share their concerns, struggles, or challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be collaborative and built on warmth and trust. Together we will work to identify issues, past and present, with the goal of stability, healing and empowerment. Offering a holistic perspective, I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health, trauma and addiction (i.e. substance/alcohol abuse/dependency).

Being human isn't always easy. Sometimes it feels impossible. The foundation of my work with people centers on emotional expression, being able to talk about anything, say everything. The process of talking and being heard leads to tension release and allows thoughts and feelings to be expressed.

Every individual has a different road in self discovery. Over the past 25 + years I have had the privilege of assisting young adults, couples and seniors presenting with a broad array of issues including: anxiety, depression, phobias, marital conflict, substance abuse, personality disorders and major mental illness. The years of experience and my clients have taught me that everyone heals in their own unique way. I embrace a holistic approach and I invite you to explore all realms that may pertain to your emotional and psychological well being.

I see clients in individual couple or family therapy depending on the issues the client wants to address and together we define goals and the best modality to achieve those goals. Other than diagnostic description for insurance reimbursement, I prefer to see the problems not as just in the individual but rather in the context in which the individual is functioning. Therefore I ideally include as much of that context as possible in the therapeutic work.

Dr. Shirin Zarqa-Lederman is a counseling psychologist specializing in trauma services and community psychology, holding a PhD in the field. She is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed clinical drug and alcohol counselor (LCADC) based in New Jersey, working with clients globally. Prior to establishing her private practice, Dr. Shirin was a program coordinator for a NJ adolescent substance abuse program, where she developed treatment curriculum for group and family therapy. Later, she worked as a community liaison for this program and three others in New York, coordinating psychiatric and substance abuse care.

In my professional work I have learned to empathize deeply and to make observations and interpretations based on years of accumulated clinical knowledge and experience. While my professional training has been invaluable, my clients (and my colleagues, too) have been the most extraordinary teachers of life and healing. Through my work I have learned to be more open and compassionate and more fully human. This enables me to be a more effective facilitator in the healing process of psychotherapy. It is always a privilege to do emotional healing work with another human being--both of us are enriched.

The healing journey begins with the desire for personal growth and a willingness to embrace change. Together, we can achieve this. The first question is, " Are you willing to take care of you now?" For most, this is a difficult commitment to make. For those who are willing, the rewards are immeasurable. Learning how to face problems fearlessly, improve work performance, develop healthy realtionships, or reach a state of peace and joy are within your grasp.

My goal in working with all who come into my office, be it child, adolescent or adult is healing. I founded The Nomad Center for Counseling out of a desire to offer healing in a compassionate and creative therapeutic setting regardless of culture or country of origin. I believe that each individual has an innate ability to heal and the capacity to move beyond the resolution of symptoms to a deeper, more authentic understanding of themselves and of life. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where people can allow their true selves to emerge, whether they are 4 or 74 years old.

Life is a journey and sometimes we struggle along the way. Some struggles are harder than others and we may need to turn to others to find resolutions. If your goal is to be happy and live a balanced life, I can help you initiate positive change. By teaching effective coping skills and focusing on the individual as a whole, I aim to help my clients live a balanced and fulfilled life.
