Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted? Admitting that life’s daily stressors have become overwhelming can be one of the hardest admissions we make to ourselves, but that admission is also the first step towards true change. Change can be a challenging path to navigate but I believe that everyone has a path, as winding and difficult as it may seem, that we all have to go through at some point. Whether those stressors are anxiety, depression, trauma or a general life transition, my goal is to provide a comforting and safe environment where we can identify the steps that need to be taken and walk that new path together.

Hi, I am Jodi Goldberg, board certified and licensed Art Therapist, owner and primary Art Therapist of Children’s Art Therapy. I have office locations in Hoboken and Manalapan, NJ, as well as offering telehealth services. During my career as an Art Therapist, I have worked with children and adults in settings such as outpatient hospital units, domestic violence and homeless shelters, schools, nursing homes/rehabilitation facilities, in addition to private practice. At Children’s Art Therapy, I see children ages 3-21 and also offer services to parents, as I believe it is necessary to connect the therapy process to home and school.

Choosing to go to therapy is a big decision. Now that you have decided to invest in yourself, I’m confident you want to make the best decision when choosing the right therapist. I have been a social worker for 14 years and have worked with a diverse population of children, adolescents, adults, and families, conducting group, individual, and family therapy. I received my Bachelor of Social Work Degree at Monmouth University in 2009 and I received my Master of Social Work Degree at Fordham University in 2011. My goal is to support each of my clients in a caring, sensitive, and non-judgmental environment.

Are you and your partner struggling to have the relationship you have always wanted? Or maybe you are trying to get back to a better time and reconnect.

My passion is working with someone who is seeking support in navigating the challenges they face with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and adjusting through life's daily issues. I work with adults of all ages, but specialize working with adults 65 and over. They may be experiencing a variety of symptoms, such as constant worry, feelings of sadness or hopelessness, difficulty managing stress, adjusting to aging issues or a lack of confidence and self-worth. They recognize the impact these issues have on their daily life, relationships, and overall well-being, and are motivated to make positive changes.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, especially those who are experiencing life transitions. Some of the most meaningful work I have done in my career involved working with individuals on hospice and I am comfortable sitting with someone as they process inevitable changes in life.

Have you or your child decided that it is time to seek out help? Let’s face it, going to therapy can be a terrifying decision to make with a lot of uncertainties.

Looking for a therapist can be a daunting task. You are finally ready to begin your healing journey, yet you are unsure which therapist is right for you. Studies show that successful treatment outcomes correlate with the right therapist and client match. If you like working with someone who has been described as straightforward, personable and informative, I might be a match for you. I tend to work with clients who want to learn about themselves, create better connections with others, and build a strong and confident sense of themself.

Sometimes the demands of everyday life or significant life events can cause disturbances in how we feel. In today's stressful times, people can become overwhelmed and can experience anxiety, depression and other symptoms. The help of a trained professional can be what is needed to a path of greater satisfaction in life and improved relationships. In my twenty plus years of practice, I have helped individuals 18 years and above deal with issues within themselves, relationships, anxiety, panic, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, chronic pain, and many other conditions.

My ideal client is a child or adolescent who is struggling with anxiety and their goal would be to learn effective coping skills and strategies to better manage this. Usually children want a quick fix- so I like to provide them with lots of quick breathing exercises or creating a "tool box" with fidgets and anything that we have worked on together to help them when they are feeling anxious or overwhelmed.
