Therapists in Downtown, Jersey City, NJ

I am a practicing clinician of over 20 years offering psychodynamic and cognitive-behavior psychotherapy to adults. CBT focuses on the development of concrete problem-solving techniques and is often ideal for problems that are highly acute and/or relatively circumscribed. Psychodynamic therapy examines emotional conflicts in relation to broader aspects of one's personality and life history. Its objective is to help individuals identify and overcome fears which may be unconscious and sometimes counter-intuitive. I also sometimes borrow concepts from meditation as well as sports psychology.

Does looking for a therapist feel like online dating? At the beginning of a new relationship there are more questions than answers: Is this a good idea? Will I like her? Will I feel comfortable with her? Will I be respected? Will I be understood? And, what if I don't know what to look for in a therapist? I'll go first. My name is Nell. My approach is a blend of humor, curiosity and collaborative problem-solving. In my practice, I work with children, adolescents, and adults providing therapy and comprehensive psychoeducational evaluations.

I have worked with all different folks in the last 20 years and still do. However, I have recently focused on gay men and the trauma of growing up gay. I am interested in what it means to be gay/queer identified in 2023, what relationships mean and how they change, and how we negotiate work, family, relationships, sex, love, and identity. I believe that growing up LGBTQ can be a trauma that needs to be explored.

My passion, training & expertise is directly focused on helping people create engaging, deeply satisfying relationships. I'm both a Certified Emotionally Focused (EFT) Couples Therapist and Supervisor as well as an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. If you are in a relationship fraught with conflict or that is emotionally-barren & unrewarding, or experiencing sexual problems, or perhaps you are single and looking to create a fulfilling relationship, we can schedule a phone or video conf. consult at no charge to discuss your situation further -- visit my website www.fulfilledcouples.com to learn more about my philosophy and training.

You know how sometimes we examine our situation and wonder how it is that we got here? There's so much going on in the world today. In examining our current state we can experience a mixture of emotions: fear, frustration, and a longing for something different. This is normal. However, sometimes these feelings can become more overwhelming than we would like, and they begin to affect us in different areas of our life such as work, family, and relationships.

Providing a supportive and compasionate environment, we focus on identifying the underlying factors to your problems/symptoms. We collaboratively establish clear goals and a plan to address the issues, thus leading to a happier, more productive life. I provide individual, couples, and family psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults. We will work together to determine if short or longer term treatment is best for you. I am a psychodynamically oriented clinician and also incorporate a Cognitive-Behavioral approach as well.

Talking does help! The main focus of my therapeutic practice has been to encourage people to talk openly about themselves in a comfortable and accepting space. Those who have seriously accepted this invitation have benefited from their self-discoveries, and the subsequent personal adjustments and changes that have come about. Personal growth is not easily achieved or sustained, but it is necessary for nurturing a fulfilled life!

I've been helping people to improve their lives for over thirty years. I began working with young adults in inpatient psychiatry and expanded to include outpatient counseling, research, training and professional development. I received my MS from Columbia University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both New Jersey and New York. I have completed over twenty years of supervised psychotherapy experience. In my practice, I specialize in working with people to gain insight and maximize their potential.

When people are in emotional pain, they usually try to "fix it" themselves. Making the decision to see a therapist often occurs when they have run out of options. I believe that seeking professional help is an action of hope. I can listen to people's pain because of my profound belief that therapy offers a second chance for a more satisfying life. Through the process of therapy, I can offer a more satisfying life to people who are experiencing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, unhappiness with their lives and couples who are having difficulty in their relationships.

I am a NJ licensed psychologist with over 20 years experience. I work with adults, couples, geriatrics and adolescents. I specialize in Women's Issues and personal problems related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions and family of origin problems. I work within a psychodynamic/eclectic framework to resolve personal problems.

I have been helping clients realize their full potential in a caring and supportive atmosphere for over 20 years. Most of my time has been spent in private practice in Hoboken, NJ. I believe in tailoring my approach to the client, keeping in mind what techniques are most successful for specific issues. My style is feedback oriented as I believe meaningful interaction is critical to success for the client. I offer individual, marriage/couples, and family psychotherapy utilizing a solution-oriented approach. My areas of specialty are depression, anxiety, relationships and grief counseling.

I've maintained a psychotherapy private practice in Lower Manhattan for more than eighteen years, and about ten years ago moved to an office in a loft in TriBeCa. As a former corporate lawyer, I've developed a sub-specialty in working with attorneys and finance professionals around career issues, but I'm also gay and have worked with LGBT people and all sorts of other people around just about anything. I welcome one and all.

Do you have trouble sleeping due to constant worries, have stressful family relationships or feel down with low motivation in activities that once interested you? I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years experience. With compassion, calm and warmth, I treat adults of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression and grief due to illness, life transitions, and loss of loved ones.

As a child psychologist I work with many children who struggle with a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges. It is vital to address these challenges early in a child’s development and to provide individualized treatment, tailored to the needs of the child and the family. Therapy will offer your child the opportunity to express their concerns, understand their emotions, and develop coping skills. In my work with adolescents I aim to help them to find balance between their emerging independence and their ongoing reliance on the adults in their lives.

I am truly passionate about supporting my clients in their process to gain deeper self-understanding and to foster personal growth through self-compassion. I work from a place of genuine curiosity about my client’s lives and relationships, respecting each person’s path as unique. I take a warm, supportive, and collaborative approach, using the information that you present (or, in some cases, avoid) to help you make sense of the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be undermining your relationships and productivity.

I've been a therapist for over 20 years, helping individuals and couples improve their lives. Therapy shouldn't be an expensive luxury. I accept many commercial in-network insurances. More than ever, with the recovery from a pandemic, inflation, and lifestyle changes, there is an increase in anxiety, depressed mood, social fears and worry about the future and unknowns.

Welcome! I started Water & Stone to support people, such as yourself, in finding a therapist or therapy group that fits your current needs, budget, and availability. When we speak I'll listen to what has been going on in your life and brings you to therapy before talking through options and sharing more about each group or therapist. My goal is that you find the right fit for you, so you can begin to feel a shift or relief within the first session.

Are you struggling to be your authentic self while trying to meet the expectations of others? Have you suffered emotional wounds that are keeping you from appreciating and living your life? Do you often take care of others, but wonder who is taking care of you? You may spend so much time taking on the weight of other people’s problems that you often put yourself in the backseat. You may feel the pressure to overcompensate, sacrifice yourself, or bend over backwards for others while neglecting your own interests and wants. You may have heard of boundaries, but asserting those can be incredibly challenging.
