Female Therapists in Oradell, NJ

I work from an empathic perspective which means I want to come to know you in a non-judgmental way at a pace that is comfortable to you. Do you find yourself searching for answers, unable to find satisfaction in both work and relationships? Are you searching for something greater and more in life that never seems to come? Do you feel you are somehow undercutting yourself, demeaning your accomplishments? Are you feeling alienated from others in social situations or when around other people?

I bring over 25 years of experience as a clinical social worker and decades of life experience to my practice as a psychotherapist. The most important factor in successful therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I provide a safe and welcoming environment in which to explore the issues that are challenging you today. I invite you to make an appointment in order to determine whether you would like to work together. Your level of safety and comfort is key to your ability to make deep and lasting changes. There is no charge for an initial phone consultation.

Even when we know that it is time to make a change, fear has a way of trying to hold us back. It’s courage that pushes us beyond that fear, to the place we deserve to be. Challenges related to work, school, family, and health can be overwhelming. If not addressed, these issues begin to spill over into the parts of our lives that were previously well. The good news is that there are positive ways to navigate life’s tests, and I am happy to help explore these paths with you. I work with people making small tweaks and huge overhauls to their lives. To me the size of change is a matter of perspective.

Asking for help is not a weakness, it is the recognition of self awareness to grow and heal. Do you struggle to manage daily stressors or life quakes from past trauma? Do you need additional tools to navigate uncharted territory? I will honor your space while you bridge the old into the new. We all experience life events differently and individually, so my approach will fit your specific needs. Your story is very personal to you and we can use this to empower your process. Focusing on the things we can change are essential to those we cannot. Let us begin to explore and learn more.

Olivia is licensed in both New York and New Jersey. She specializes in perinatal mental health, first time parenting, and working with people in the LGBTQIA+ communities. She works with each client specifically to cultivate a holding space that speaks to each individual’s needs and works with a mindful based approach in order to guide her clients toward self awareness.

I recognize that people often have many different types of trauma in their lives. Trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and may be interpreted differently by each individual. Traumatic issues can range from bullying, loss of friendship, transitions of all types, to devastating life events. I have provided care to adolescents and adults suffering from emotional disturbances, as a result of trauma and loss. Subsequently these disturbances will interfere with school, work, and relationships and may ultimately prevent one from living a fulfilling life.

I am a licensed psychologist in NJ and NY and I have been working as a clinical psychologist for 13 years to improve my patients' quality of life, strengthen their relationships, and develop self awareness, emotional stability, and a positive sense of self. I welcome individuals, couples, and families, as well as young adults and adults. My patients often come to me seeking relief from stress, anxiety, and depression; I help them to develop better coping skills, mindfulness, and improved adjustment and communication skills. At times in life, many of us will require guidance in various areas to navigate interpersonal challenges:

The foundation of my work is based on empathy and open communication. For over 15 years, I've worked closely with families in crisis and in need of immediate intervention. I specialize in assisting children, adolescents, and adults with Anxiety, Depression, Selective Mutism, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Autism. Additionally, I also have experience in assisting victims of violence.

I am a psychotherapist with experience in helping individuals and couples through life transitions, stressful events, and a variety of issues, such as depression, anxiety, grief, loss, communication problems, and relationship difficulties. My role is to be a compassionate partner through your journey and help support, guide, and walk with you to help you find a place of authenticity, self-awareness, and peace. I have spent much of my career working with those going through fertility treatments (egg freezing, IUI, IVF, third party reproduction) and helping to work through the stress that is often associated with treatment.

Let’s be honest, life can be pretty hard sometimes. We are faced with so many challenges, struggles, and not so good surprises. And sometimes we need some help navigating through these times. I have experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, both general and social, depression, panic disorder, and life transitions. I provide a warm, confidential environment and always make counseling enjoyable for each client. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you achieve your goals in counseling and have a better quality of life.

I tailor therapy to meet your specific needs and expectations. You may be looking for help with relationships among family members or want to learn specific parenting techniques. You may be recovering from a traumatic life experience or uncomfortable and debilitating issues related to self-esteem, family and peer relationships, as well as career choices. I can help you better understand some of the reasons why you are unable to move to forward towards growth and independence at whatever your age.

"You are the strongest person I Know." they say. So, you can't make any mistakes EVER! Even though you're exhausted, you can’t slow down, or say no to things because everything around you might fall apart, and then everyone will know what you've always feared about yourself. As long as you keep everyone around you happy, everything will be fine and you will be safe...right? But uh oh... it's not working anymore. You can’t make your own choices, express your true feelings, or hear your own voice. You can't live like this anymore. It's time to come to a resolution with your internal critic. It's time to prioritize you.

Are you feeling down most of the time? Do you constantly worry about your future? Do you have problems relating to others? If some of these questions speak to you, you may want to talk to a trained therapist, who can help you to sort out the things in your life and help you to regain the lost time you spent alone. Some of the feelings you may have are quite normal. However, it becomes a problem when such emotions and feelings impede the daily functioning of your life, such as inability to work, difficulties with family relationships and friendships.

When unresolved lifelong challenges cause feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, proper diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve general well-being. My clinical experience encompassed serving families and individuals who are going through life cycle changes such as developmental delays, ADHD, coping with grief/loss, adjustment to divorce, parenting support, adoption, chronic pain, and family estrangement. I aim to empower my clients to discover their best selves by utilizing my clinical expertise, and providing them with essential tools needed to attain their highest level of independent functioning.

Have you lost a loved one to suicide and are now having difficulty finding anyone who understands what you are going through? Suicide loss survivors often feel significant guilt and responsibility for the suicide. They can also feel abandoned and betrayed by the deceased. Well-meaning friends, family members, and therapists may try their best to help but often exacerbate the pain and confusion the survivor is feeling. Imagine feeling understood by someone who has been there and can guide you along the path of recovering from the suicide of your loved one. I would like to be that person for you.

I believe the most important ingredient to achieve change, is a strong connection between the client and therapist. At Wildrose Psychotherapy, we are caring, empathetic and knowledgeable about interpersonal and relational issues. Your increased personal fulfillment and happiness, as well as learning how to manage your issues, are just a few of the benefits of therapy. Let's work through challenging issues such as parenting, divorce, substance abuse, negative self image, phobias and anxiety. . We are passionate about our work and look forward to working with you in a respectful environment.

Ever wonder if drinking, substance use, or disordered eating are starting to become a problem? Look no further. People come to me to figure out how to heal their relationship with food and their bodies - to overcome perfectionism and people pleasing - to stop relying on alcohol and drugs to make the pain stop. Taking the first step towards asking for help is hard, but know that I will welcome you without judgement. I know that you’re here because you want the cycle to stop. I want to help you develop the skills to stop obsessing, to stop beating yourself up, and to remove the things that get in the way of you living your life.

All of us face challenging moments in our lives that create a sense of urgency for change or a need for extra support. With over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and alternative healthcare, both as a practitioner and an educator, my practice is grounded in empathy, intuition, and building a strong therapeutic alliance.
