Male Therapists in Warren County, NJ

I am offering telehealth sessions through Therapy Notes, and Spruce platforms. We are living in some challenging times today and many people are struggling with dealing with these issues that we face today. Several of these challenges are affecting us in several ways directly and indirectly.

Are you struggling with mood swings, depression, anxiety, and/or substance abuse? I look forward to assisting you with making positive changes! I have been working in the field of mental health since 2005. Within that time I have supported youth and adults in settings ranging from outpatient/private therapy, intensive outpatient (IOP), inpatient detox/rehabilitation, assisted living, and residential.

Depression and anxiety can be overwhelming. Both can stem from work stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, or a biological predisposition. The overall goal is straightforward: gaining control of your emotions and not letting them control you.

I, along with everyone at Center for Assessment and Treatment, hope to help those who are among the most in need, regardless of income, background, or past history.

Sometimes thoughts and feelings can interfere with our daily activities. While we cannot change the past, we can take positive actions in the present to guide us into the future. I work with children, teens, and adults to help them identify and remove negative thoughts, feelings, and attitudes that act as obstacles to a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. My aim is to develop a trusting relationship in order to explore life events that may be negatively impacting us and find ways to adapt, change, or accept those events.

Now accepting in-person and virtual clients! As a Licensed Social Worker (LSW), It is my mission to cultivate an empathetic and non-judgmental therapeutic environment where clients can flourish. While the core of my experience is focused on adolescents I am passionate about working with adults of various ages and backgrounds. My dedication is particularly focused on working with ADHD/ADD, autism, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and grief, as well as struggles with identity, values, and meaning.

Life can be hard at times. Anxiety, depression, stress, strained relationships, and low self-esteem can be debilitating. Sometimes we might try to put on a brave face and push away feelings, only to increase our sense of isolation. Feeling alone can make these feelings even worse and decrease our self-worth. Therapy takes many forms and looks different for everyone. I strive to provide a unique space for all of my clients. We will uncover issues around self-doubt, perfectionism, feeling like a failure, and indecision while working to increase self-compassion and empathy.

You and your family's well being are my greatest concern. I have over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults in a wide variety of clinical settings including outpatient and inpatient treatment programs, public and private school settings, and residential treatment facilities. I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, and am a Licensed Psychologist, as well as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am trained in couples counseling, child and adolescent therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy. In addition, I am currently conducting social skills groups for children and adolescents.

My private practice was founded in October 2003, providing outpatient and in-home counseling services to over 375 children and families. I have extensive experience working with adults and couples. Since October 2013, I have treated over 250 adults and their family members at my outpatient office in Alpha. With 26 years of expertise, my approach is simple: to facilitate and promote change by assisting clients to make healthy decisions and choices in their lives. Treatment is also focused on helping clients learn how to effectively manage stressors and regulate their mood in order to increase or maintain their level of functioning.

Over the course of my practice I have been specializing in working with individuals from adolescents through late adulthood. I have proficient experience working with individuals that have been diagnosed with or experience symptoms of ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Grief, and Trauma. I have long been an ally and provided services for the members of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ community. I am committed to helping my clients and working as hard as they are in their Mental Health Treatment Journey.

Ambivalence, uncertainty, hesitation, and frustration are natural and normal experiences as we contemplate and/or pursue change. As a result, many of us will experience discouraging thoughts and feelings and perhaps underestimate our ability to pursue meaningful change. The fortunate reality is that we're not alone...that those thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can and do change as we keep at it, skillfully negotiating the inevitable setbacks and celebrating the transformational moments of progress along the way. I look forward to being by your side to identify, plot, and navigate your unique journey.

These are not easy times. Stress, anxiety, and depression abound. Our quality of life is often challenged by interpersonal and psychological conflicts, economic and work related demands, technological changes, and a culture too often encouraging distraction and superficial quick fixes. A quality therapy experience must be tailored to helping people better understand their specific problems and develop substantive ways of dealing with them. The therapeutic environment needs to insure safety, support, encouragement, and quality feedback. This may include, when needed, educational information that can improve how we respond & communicate effectively with others.

The most important aspect of counseling is to have a safe place to express what is causing you emotional discomfort. No two people are alike. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I customize my approach to fit you and your specific needs. The focus of my practice is working with adults (18 and up). Let’s work together to get to the root of the problem.

I specialize in treating adolescent and adults whom suffer from addictions and mental health problems. I also practice a multitude of therapeutic techniques. Whether you are new to therapy or have some previous experience, I will use a personalized approach to help you to achieve your goals. As your therapist I will work with you to understand your needs. If I cannot help you I will refer you to someone that can.

I believe that listening is crucial in counseling; listening not just to words, but also for feelings. Sometimes people seek therapy to clarify their thoughts and emotions; or they may be looking for specific strategies to find relief from worry or sadness, or for help with a relationship. My experience and training in multiple modes of psychotherapy allows me to help people with these concerns. While starting counseling may seem scary, it can be the first step toward feeling happier and less worried.
