Self-Harming Therapists in Montclair, NJ
Life is an exercise in the Unexpected. Often, it is when all is seemingly in-tact, that you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, less connected or struggling to find meaning. You want to be present, find ease and experience joy, but anxiety, life changes, trauma or relationship-struggles keep getting in your way. Despite your best efforts, it feels like you have lost the way to feeling connected and truly present to enjoy the simple day-to-day moments. All pains are growing pains, and this pivotal moment is an opportunity to gain access to the life you deserve. I am here to help.

Have you ever felt afraid to fail? Regardless of the circumstances, failing, for some is not an option, yet it consumes many to a point where you become stifled into being complacent. You might find yourself frozen in doing nothing because you are stuck. The truth is high achievers often struggle with anxiety – it’s par for the course. Those who find success in all aspects of life are often viewed as “having it all together” but what often follows is a bag full of stress, depression, and anxiety. These states often lead to destructive or disturbing thought patterns, which then leads to negative influences on behavior and emotions.
