Somatic Therapists in Hoboken, NJ

I am a psychospiritual practioner that blends elements of psychology and spirituality to offer a holistic mind-body-spirit approach. My goal is to help you remember your innate wholeness and reconnect with your true self. As a passionate contemplative practitioner, my calling is to support others on their path of self-realization and spiritual development. I am also deeply passionate about supporting other empaths and highly sensitive people to hone and honor their unique gifts. My specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, grief, bipolar I & II, life-transitions, existentialism, & spiritual development.

Do you feel stuck, stressed, anxious or depressed? Psychotherapy can help when the same old, same old isn't working anymore. The goal is to help you find your way to a better place within a private and confidential relationship. One of the primary components of successful treatment is the therapeutic relationship. Ideally there is a give and take between a client and their therapist and I strive to create a safe and informal environment so that this can take place. My focus is working with high functioning adult clients who are actively engaged in discovering new ways of being. Please go to debsteigerlcsw.com for more info.

I have been working in the counseling field for 20+ years and have been privileged to listen to the hearts and souls of clients who've experienced a myriad of emotions when reflecting on their interpersonal journeys. My traditional practice is client-centered, so that I can provide an empathetic approach and guide clients through challenging reflections. Providing a safe space for clients to process their feelings at their own pace and work through personal experiences is something that gives them the autonomy to recognize and process their own emotions. I believe that CBT emphasizes this process and is crucial to their journey

I use an integrative, mind/body approach to therapy to help individuals and couples overcome feelings of worry, sadness, loneliness, hopelessness, overwhelm, anger, and grief. I will support you and guide you to feeling like yourself again. I also specialize in working with women diagnosed with ADHD.

Telehealth only at this time. Hopelessness, stress & burnout, overwhelming worry, grief, trauma; whether it be due to unexpected loss, transitions or biological issues — can leave you feeling paralyzed or spiraling out of control. I provide psychoeducation, strategies, & tools to increase client insight into faulty patterns — and increased confidence to cope and thrive.

Are you dealing with with life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, or low self-confidence? I am here to help and guide. As people have their unique histories, experiences, and emotional buildup, I aim to provide an individualized approach to create a strong therapeutic partnership. My goal is to empower people so they can experience more happiness, fulfillment and achieve their goals. As a former public performer I enjoy working with clients who experience public performance anxiety. I can help clients overcome their fears or road blocks as I strive to help develop effective coping skills.

The clients I see are often seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences, yearning for a meaningful connection and a sense of purpose.

Some challenges in life we hide and avoid, and over time those challenges only grow and become more disruptive. Feelings of shame and fear can hold us back from seeking support and solutions. Do you wish you could experience more pleasure, intimacy, and joy? Is a past trauma impacting your ability to connect with others and holding you back from living a full life? Psychotherapy can provide space to explore, gain insight, and establish knowledge and skills that allow you to live a more fulfilling life.

You’d been doing so well. Enjoying life, being productive, connecting with family and friends. Then, out of nowhere, it crept back in—that familiar feeling of numb emptiness. You can feel your worldview narrowing and your emotions shutting down, and it scares you. You’ve worked so hard to move past this and truly believed you were getting better. Eating well, exercising, meditating, and sleeping more. And then here comes this reminder that all the self-care in the world isn’t enough to help you move past this. Hopelessness is setting in. You know there must be a better way to live, but you simply don’t know how to achieve it.

I take a collaborative approach with clients and their processes because I believe each person has an understanding of what works for them. I work with individuals, couples, families, friends and coworkers struggling with a variety of issues as well as anger and anxiety. Couples counseling: I can help you develop tools to create more understanding, and compassion for each other.

You are choosing to work on yourself, good! For over 20 years I have had the privilege of working interactively to assist and support in developing emotional strength, clarity, and confidence and to resolve issues that stand in the way of a creative, energetic, and positive life. Whether stuck, fearful, overwhelmed, dissatisfied, lonely, disappointed, depressed, anxious, or traumatized- we can work together to release negative energy, create understanding and peace. As in working a 12 step program, the work of reconnecting to self leads to deeper and stronger connections with others, as fears and worry are met with and dissipated.

Finding the right therapist can be a tough and even daunting experience. It's difficult to tell if a therapist is right for you based simply on a blurb and a photo. I don't claim to know that we'll be a perfect fit but if I believe I can help you, I'll tell you. If not, I'll refer you to someone who I think can. I regard myself as a warm and compassionate therapist who is supportive as well as direct and challenging when required. I am passionate about my work and find it fulfilling and energizing.

You're in the right place if you've experienced trauma earlier in your life AND you're now going through a big change. After trying regular talk therapy and doing it yourself, you still feel stuck in the same old patterns. Your body has reactions that you can't seem to control. You can't stop thinking about the past. Regular talk therapy and/or doing it on your own (DIY) may have made you feel more hopeless, helpless, stuck and lonely. It’s not your fault, though. The traditional methods are not designed to help you fully heal.

I work with clients who have histories of trauma varying in severity. This can look like trouble with regulating and making sense of emotions. In terms of diagnoses, I often work with clients with PTSD, depression, anxiety, manic episodes, and dissociation. My clients want to regain their sense of agency. My clients become more aware of the connection between current behavioral tendencies and pivotal events from their past. My clients become comfortable feeling uncomfortable exploring issues and experiencing the emotions that arise. My ideal clients understand that progress is dependent on dedication and consistency. Very possible.

I work with both couples and individuals of all ages, and have a collaborative approach that leaves room for humor amidst intensity and gentleness amidst serious change. I have specialized experience providing sex therapy, LGBTQ+ support, Asian American culturally competent care, and counseling for multicultural identities and relationships. These therapeutic specialties further overlap with my passions for healthcare equity and activism for collective liberation. Clinical social work cannot merely be the bandaid that makes oppression easier to stomach; it should be part of the work that gets us free.

Accepting new clients as of 8/30/24...Are you looking for a therapist who hears what you’re saying, sees, and feels your issues? Many of us are looking for a therapist who is the right fit, understands the issues we’re bringing up, and can help us work through our challenges to feel better about ourselves. Mental health issues can be difficult to manage alone and having a supportive therapist can make all the difference.

Life is a package. When you open it, there will be something we want; and something we don't. Sometimes, life is great; other times, without our approval, life may shift in directions we have never thought about before (e.g., an accident). The wisdom of life, in heart-breaking moments like this, depends on the choices we make; choose to dwell in the pain and be stuck (e.g., depression); or carry the pain with us, continue to move forward, and create opportunities for a meaningful life. I believe such wisdom is embedded in everybody's heart; I am committed to work with you to discovery your own wisdom and pursue a meaningful life.

My goal as a therapist is to help you connect more deeply with yourself and others, and to restore you to your natural state of health and wholeness. With more than a decade of clinical experience, I bring a warm, authentic, and collaborative approach to my work. I specialize in the areas of interpersonal relationships; trauma; attachment issues; and ADHD/neurodiversity. My primary theoretical orientations are AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and Attachment-Focused EMDR. I also utilize Mindfulness and Self-Compassion in my work.
