Therapists in Morganville, NJ

Whether you have experienced a single upsetting event or something that was ongoing, chances are you are feeling confused, on edge, and stuck in the past. It may even be difficult to imagine a future for yourself. Relationships seem to be more difficult, trusting those you shouldn’t and not trusting those who you should; your judgment feels off and you don’t feel like yourself. You can’t focus and you can’t sleep. Your stomach hurts. At Vetiver Mind, we hold a practical lifestyle approach, providing support for the whole person - body, mind, and spirit - without drugs.

How is it going? Whether we have a difficult work situation, a relationship issue, struggles with life changes, caught in the cycle of addiction, unresolved childhood trauma, or feel just plain stuck, the anxiety and depression that result can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes we have no idea what is happening, but certain things just seem to trigger panic or reactions we do not fully understand. Other times, finding the motivation to get out of bed in the morning is a major effort. Old and familiar ways of getting though these challenges no longer work. Something must change, but what and how?

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, traumatic thoughts that revisit or a difficult decision in your life, I have learned in my practice that everyone’s goal is essentially the same: to experience peace. I am a somatic practitioner, which means I will help you understand the cues that your body provides to help reveal your emotions and make decisions that help you grow. I am an eclectic blend of professional and down to earth. My ideal client is someone who is willing to be patient with themselves and the process, explore creative approaches, and dedicated to understanding themselves in a nonjudgmental way.

I am the owner and director of The Women's Psychotherapy Center. I specialize in women's issues such as postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, and parenting issues. I also focus on depression, anxiety, Autism spectrum disorders, and chronic pain as well as other mind-body disorders. I believe in building an empathic, trusting relationship between therapist and client, and my work focuses primarily on fostering growth through increased self-awareness. Although I direct the Women's Center, I enjoy working with individuals of all ages and genders.

Are you struggling with work or family stress, a personal loss, depressed mood, or anxiety? Does a past traumatic experience continue to haunt you? Are you abusing pain killers, booze, or other drugs and just can't seem to stop? If so, I can help. You will find me friendly, gentle, caring, and result-oriented. I've helped other adults, teens, and children overcome depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse...and can do the same for you. If you are ready for peace and healing in your life, call me anytime at 908.461.5829. I accept most major insurance.

Life has changed beyond expectations. Many of our careers, educational life and values have become unsettled. I am a good fit for highly sensitive people, who amidst this change, are in a life transition such as college disruption, trauma, relationship problems and work issues. The pervasive stress, resulting in depression, confusion, anxiety, OCD, addiction and disruption, will be met with deep listening, reflection and compassion. For those whose minds have been effected by psychedelic drugs, marijuana, childhood trauma or bipolar tendencies, we will work together to create clear, practical strategies for health/recovery.

The Women's Psychotherapy Center is a safe and supportive space designed specifically for women and teens seeking mental health care. We understand the unique challenges women face throughout their lives, and our therapists are experts in addressing issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting stress and post-partum mood disorders. We understand that each woman's journey is unique, and we're committed to providing personalized care that empowers you to heal, grow, and thrive. Whether you're seeking support for a specific issue or simply want to improve your overall well-being, The Women's Psychotherapy Center is here for you.

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.

You feel sad, confused, or overwhelmed. You're afraid you will fall apart if you open up. You're stuck and you don't know where to go from here. When you’re trying to hold it all together it's difficult to reach out for help. You deserve a safe place to go, where you can put down all the pain and fear you've been carrying, and begin to find yourself again. It's my personal hope that I can provide this space for you, so you can receive the compassion and support needed to move forward on your journey.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, dedicated to helping people achieve fulfilling lives in which they enjoy satisfying relationships, a feeling of productivity, and acceptance of oneself. In my thirty years of practice, I have seen, over and over, that establishing a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship is the first and most critical step in fostering one's ability to examine their vulnerabilities and to recognize their own strengths.

Thinking of therapy? Ask us for the first session free, no commitment. IPG has roughly 30 therapists over three NJ offices: Highland Park, Freehold, and Jersey City. Since 1983 we've combined compassionate care with high-level expertise. We provide individual, family, child, and relationship counseling for concerns ranging from depression to life transitions to marital strife. We have a special focus on the LGBTQ community, including transgender/GNC youth, but we see clients from all walks of life. We also have many other niche specialties such as sex therapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and eating disorders.

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.

I believe we all have the potential to evolve. My approach uses an integration of techniques: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems, Somatic Tracking, meditation, and psychoanalysis/psychotherapy. We all have stored conditioned patterns of behavior that helped us survive but holding onto these patterns may be causing you issues in the present. Our work together will assess these patterns and help recondition new ways of response to allow for more choice, less overwhelm, and wiser relationships.

If you are looking to make a specific changes in your life, reduce anxiety, or improve relationships then therapy may be the answer. I believe that all of us have the right to live fully and authentically. Sometimes things get in the way; from a chaotic childhood to low self esteem, depression, loss of any kind, or any other adverse life event that blocks us from achieving true satisfaction and happiness in life. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive and non-judgmental environment for those that are struggling with challenging symptoms, have difficulties managing emotions or maintaining healthy and satisfying relationships.

I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) specializing in the treatment of trauma and addictions. I am passionate about walking clients through the healing journey, and believe that through facing our struggles we are able to find and embrace our unique strengths and purpose.

I offer respectful, affirmative treatment in a safe, comfortable environment. Establishing a trusting, caring relationship with the people I work with is of the utmost importance to me.
