Therapists in Somerville, NJ

As an experienced psychotherapist I have derived much satisfaction in helping people feel and function better. My theoretical orientation combines psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral, and systems approaches.

Do you ever feel like life just keeps happening and you are trying to keep up? That feeling of holding your breathe; preparing yourself for whatever may come next? Situations, transitions, people, our past all can take a toll on both our minds and bodies. To cope; we rationalize away whatever is happening and how we are feeling. As we try to keep pushing forward there is still this doubt; this lingering feeling of either wanting help, wanting things to change or just wanting to feel better. Taking that first step may not be easy; but I am here to support you to make yourself a priority, to make progess for yourself, not perfection.

Being a therapist for twenty plus years, it always fascinates me to watch someone overcome their difficulties and find peace and joy in their life. I hope you will allow me to assist you in your journey! I have experience working with individuals, couples and families and have been trained in a wide variety of techniques. I utilize an eclectic approach and the methods are driven by your needs. I have a direct, nurturing approach and feel that a good relationship between us is crucial to the therapeutic process.

Is your relationship with food and your body taking over? Does your mind get stuck on every little thought? Do you feel like if you aren’t absolutely 100% perfect, then you lose all self-esteem? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, I want you to know that there is hope! Feeling better is not just possible, but by working with the right therapist who understands your unique challenges, you can take control of your life and find real peace.

Welcome. I am accepting new clients. My style is welcoming, warm, and engaging. I have a collaborative style, and enjoy working together with my clients to support them in the therapeutic process, and also providing humor to ease clients in sessions when appropriate. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental space, where clients feel comfortable expressing their feelings and thoughts.

I am not accepting new clients, but please reach out if you would like to be placed on my waiting list. Are you living with chronic worry, self-doubt, panic attacks, self-isolation or excessive sadness? Life transitions (e.g. starting or struggling in college or a new job, retirement, marriage, divorce) can be more stressful than you anticipated. Therapy can address a specific problem (e.g., chronic procrastination, avoidance, insomnia) or engage deeper issues such as meaning, purpose, mortality or the responsibility that comes with having choices. See my website at drsohnle.com for more detail.

Together we will work to identify your strengths and coping tools to improve relationships, emotions and behaviors. We will focus on changing automatic negative, self critical thinking to more empowered, compassionate thoughts.

Welcome. I believe it is a great privilege and responsibility to accompany someone on their healing journey. My approach to therapy begins with a firm belief in the inherent dignity of the individual. You aren’t damaged, nor do you need to be fixed. All symptoms—negative thinking, addictions, unhealthy coping strategies—develop to help you survive. Habitual ways of being, therefore, need to be seen through a lens of compassion and curiosity. I strive to create an atmosphere of respect and trust in which clients can safely explore their background, relationships, and inner workings of the mind, to help alleviate their suffering.

I believe that the journey to healing must come from within and that I am simply a guide along the way. I create a safe space for you by providing a non-judgmental and compassionate environment to explore your thoughts and feelings, and work towards creating a positive change in your life. My approach is eclectic, meaning that I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you achieve your goals and create healthy ways of coping. I am passionate about using dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). In my free time, I enjoy reading, powerlifting, and playing video games with friends. I hope that I can be your trusted guide.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in my practice. For the past 25 + years, my work has been dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families who are struggling and wish to make positive changes in their lives. Many of the people I see are experiencing stress associated with personal, career, academic, or family transitions. Others are trying to navigate through anxiety, depression, loneliness, or conflicts in relationships. My goal is to listen carefully and to provide valuable feedback and support so that clients may rediscover their strength and find solutions to life's often complex challenges.
