Therapists in Freehold, NJ

I am a firm believer that most problems can be helped if you are motivated to change. During my years in private practice, I have created an atmosphere in my office that allows my clients to feel safe and not judged.

When feeling overwhelmed, depressed or anxious, the process of finding a therapist can seem like a daunting task. Your energy is low, you have little motivation, and you don't feel like talking to anyone. Somehow, despite all of that, you're expected to sort through a list of strangers and choose one that you are going to open up to. It seems counterproductive. It's not. You've taken the first step by deciding that it's time... that enough is enough... and that you need to talk to someone. Hopefully, that someone is us.

Are you troubled & stressed in a relationship, but don't know how to change things? Do you say "yes" when you want to say "no"? Are you covering up your pain with destructive behaviors? Do you judge yourself harshly & feel you are just never 'good enough'? Negative thoughts, anxiety & low self esteem can be an enormous burden, making it a crushing chore to just get through your day. They effect your relationships, your ability to work and can lead to substance abuse, over eating and other behaviors that can pull you in to a downward spiral that is hard to break free from.

Thinking of therapy? Ask us for the first session free. IPG paved the way for other Queer-affirmative therapists. Founded in 1983 specifically to serve the LGBTQ+ community, back when most practitioners viewed it as a mental illness, we are still trailblazers, working with trans/GNC folks, bi/pansexuals, the kink/BDSM community, consensual nonmonogamists, and others who make up the "Q+" in LGBTQ+. You may not want therapy because you are gay, but you likely want a therapist who is not only affirming but knowledgeable. We understand the special issues of LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and families, and we provide sex therapy as well.

Co-founder and partner of Comprehensive Counseling Center, Howell NJ. I've been in practice for 32+ years. My primary focus is couples, marital and adult individual counseling. My role, when a couple or individual seeks out counseling, is to both be able to listen, in a caring non-judgemental way, and be direct when necessary. I work with the client to tailor the treatment to their unique needs; to help with guidance, support and information, so that things can move forward and their goals can be reached. It's a process that works best when we work together, and is done in an atmosphere of respect, confidentiality and safety.

As a psychologist I am committed to guiding clients to making meaningful changes in their lives. I have been providing evidenced based treatment for children, adolescents, adults and families for the past 18 years. I employ a cognitive behavioral orientation in helping my clients examine thinking patterns that many times creates and maintain our "ruts". Challenging and changing these patterns promotes personal healing, improved relationships, and deeper satisfaction and happiness.

I believe everyone has the power to change and make new possibilities out of our life experiences! Sometimes we reach a point where we are not sure how to handle something or make things better for ourselves and those around us. Having someone help you work with each area to learn about your own thoughts, feelings and emotions and how you react or respond to situations can take some of the weight and pressure off your shoulders. Seeing a therapist is about building a stronger YOU so that life's twists and turns can be managed effectively. Take your first strong step in seeking assistance!

I can provide clarity in many cases, and support deep, value-driven insight, when the problems you are facing are confusing and you are having difficulty making authentic choices. My clients receive attention on multiple levels including body-brain-mind-energy-emotion-thought-heart-spirit and soul and grow in awareness of themselves on these different levels.

Do you have a pressing practical conflict, moral dilemma, or torn decision, not sure which way to go? Are you at a cross-roads, re-evaluating yourself, your life, career, relationship, your religion, or your spiritual path? Are you struggling with meaninglessness, loss of purpose, loss of faith, existential indigestion, philosophical confusion? Do you struggle with the bigger questions: Is life meaningful? Who am I? Why am I here? What should I believe? What is reality? Is this it? Is there anything else? How can I know? How should I live? What is my path? What is my highest good? Do I have a calling? Can I change? What should I do?

I believe a good fit with a therapist is crucial to successful treatment. The right relationship can facilitate healing right from the start. I work best with those who know why they are seeking counseling and have a desire to feel better and improve their lives. While striving to create a casual and welcoming environment, I tailor the treatment to suit the individual's needs and goals, first and foremost.

Deciding to start therapy for yourself or family member can be a difficult and challenging decision to make.

Our goal is to help our clients find their inner strengths, increase their coping skills and identify past successes that can be altered and used to help them now.
