Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Holmdel, NJ

My practice is dedicated to anxiety disorders with emphasis on OCD and OCD Related disorders. As such, approximately 85-90% of the clients that I am currently treating have this diagnosis. I have treated a significant amount of individuals and families who have been afflicted with the aforementioned challenges. This includes in an office setting, out in the community, and in the homes of the client. I'm up-to-date on the latest treatments. I treat clients on the Autism Spectrum, in all capacities (anxiety related and otherwise.) I also provide clinical supervision to other therapists on how to effectively treat their own clients.

A common trait among my clients seems to be a fierce desire to improve their lives & take back control. Many clients have tried treatment for OCD, phobias or anxiety, therefore, I understand how frustrated they may feel, and help them use that frustration to fuel their inner fire. I work to understand my clients from a whole-person approach, then create a plan unique as each clients needs. OCD, phobias & anxiety can be overcome, I've seen it happen! Don't let anxiety & stress run the show. Together, we'll reclaim your power through traditional or unconventional therapy, like VR Therapy, Ketamine Therapy or Creative Art Therapy

What does a better tomorrow look like to you? Can you imagine your world with less stress and more enjoyment? More effective communication and stronger relationships with others? Therapy can help guide you towards these goals.

I see adolescents and adults who suffer with various issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, relationship problems, as well as substance abuse and addiction. I believe in the good nature of most people and the need to grow and learn from our life experiences. At times in our life, it becomes important to stop and recognize our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that can interfere with who we want to be and hope to become. In my practice, I utilize an array of treatment modalities that will help you to make better decisions for yourself, your partner and/or your family.

MRM Psychological Testing and Clinical Services provides comprehensive, goal directed treatment in order to improve emotional health and well being. I focus on the connection between what we think, feel and do and how adjustments and changes in these areas can improve one's life. While my practice is diverse, I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety Disorders. Other areas of focus include Mood Disorders, Child/Adolescent related behaviors and disorders, and Adjustment Disorders. My clinical staff also specialize in addictions and family therapy.

When you think about a better future for yourself, what do you envision? Are you feeling less stressed? Are you more confident? Is your relationship thriving? Are you getting more time to do the things you love? Therapy is a journey to find a path towards those goals. Therapy is an individualized process. Sometimes, we aren’t always aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and situations that prevent us from feeling better or getting our needs met. Other times, we are aware of these things but unsure on how to limit how much they impact us and how we can manage them.

Knowing when to start therapy is not always clear. Are you feeling stuck? Struggling with a significant life transition or adapting to change? Maybe you are starting to realize that you just aren’t feeling yourself. Or perhaps you are becoming uncomfortable with your relationship with yourself or others. These feelings and thoughts are a sign that there is something within that needs attention. Psychotherapy is a profound means of self-discovery that can provide insight into ourselves, our relationships, and our behaviors. In psychotherapy, you give yourself the opportunity to explore- and begin a journey of feeling better.

Creating the space for reflection is hard, especially in the midst of our busy lives. Many people feel stuck in difficult patterns, not knowing how to be happy. In a collaborative atmosphere, I can help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others. With sensitivity, compassion, and attention to your strengths, together we can identify your goals and help you meet these. Using emotion-focused work is particularly helpful because our feelings offer us a roadmap to our psyche. In other words, our emotions clue us in to what motivates, reinforces, or is aversive to us. Emotions drive our reactivity, thoughts, and mood.

I strongly believe you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose and hopeful about the therapy. I view therapy as a partnership that is collaborative and supportive. You define the problem areas to be worked on and identify the goals that you want to reach; I use my training and expertise to help you make the changes you want to make. We are a team working together to reach your goals.

Life events are sometimes beyond our control. We can only change the way we cope with it, the way we view it and what we choose to learn from it. In a comfortable and supportive environment, I can provide you with the tools you need to thrive. I treat anxiety, depression, as well as many other symptoms and disorders that affect people for all different reasons. Whether it is a relationship, life transition, illness, loss or other life circumstance, together we can make great changes.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults and families who want to make their lives happier. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help children and adolescents who are feeling sad, irritable, frustrated, angry, or anxious. Through therapy, I work with families to help children cope with school, social, family, or health problems. In addition to CBT, I incorporate other treatment techniques to best help you and your child (e.g., play therapy, interpersonal therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family systems, and psychodynamic techniques).

Are you worried about your child and struggling to find ways to help him/her? Does your son or daughter seem unusually sad, angry, have trouble making and keeping friends, or following rules? Sometimes after a change or trauma children express their difficulties through negative behaviors. As parents, we all want our kids to feel good about themselves and be successful. Sometimes its easy to lose sight of a child's strengths and positive attributes. I'm passionate about helping struggling kids and families get back on a positive track in a fun and engaging way.

Emotional difficulties block the path to a satisfying life that may manifest as depression, anxiety, bi-polar, anger/rage, psychosis and even suicidal thoughts. People find themselves trapped in conflict at work, relationships and with oneself. People may turn to destructive behaviors - substance/alcohol abuse, promiscuity, eating disorders or self-injury to find relief. Psychotherapy breaks these cycles by developing deeper insight of self and others while learning skills to help manage emotions and cope more effectively. I encourage a safe therapeutic relationship respecting the person's experience and confidentiality.

I have over 17 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and groups. My goal is to help you achieve the results you want from counseling as quickly and safely as possible. My approach is supportive, non-judgmental and emphatic. I am solution focused. I help clients to identify their problem areas and acquire the skills they need to lead more satisfying lives.

Reaching out for help can be difficult. Often times, we tend to neglect the need for our own self-care as we tackle the challenges of daily life and take care of the ones we love. Platinum Counseling offers a comfortable and casual environment where you can feel safe and supported. We encourage you to discuss your vulnerabilities, without judgement, with professionals who want to hear about your experiences. We can provide you with therapeutic strategies and education to understand and tackle your challenges while increasing your motivation to fulfill your own personal goals. We encourage you to contact us.

I believe whatever problem you may be facing is solvable. I am passionate about helping people and I have been doing it for over 35 yrs. I have worked in private practice, inpatient and outpatient settings. I have experience in the most relevant evidenced based/best practices (cbt, dbt, MI, 12 Step/Harm Reduction, trauma informed, mindfulness ) One size does not fit all! I am compassionate, kind and non judgemental with a strong desire to help people achieve a life worth living. I provide a safe place and am committed to having an open and affirming practice for people of all races, religions, genders and sexualities.

I believe it is necessary for a person to feel valued and understood during their counseling experience. You and I can work together to develop the skills you need to live a happy and healthy life. My approach is client centered and strengths-based, knowing the importance of being aware of and sensitive to your age, personality and stage of change. I will work with you to develop goals, empowering you to use your own life skills to manage your emotions and behaviors, and achieve your full potential.

Life can be challenging and we all have our ups and downs. At times, it can be difficult to move past what is getting in our way of our happiness in order to be our true selves. There is nothing like having an objective outsider that can truly listen in a non-judgmental way, help you to reflect on the situation and factors that may be contributing, and together come up with strategies which can allow you to move forward in a more thoughtful and meaningful way. I am here to be that person for you.
