Hi! I’m Giovana. I have been a (bilingual; English & Portuguese) therapist for almost 30 years and couldn’t choose a profession more fulfilling. During my years of experience, I have worked with clients from all paths of life, needs, wants and diagnoses. I am a firm believer that change and recovery are possible, even though sometimes change can be very uncomfortable. Therapy and change can be both difficult and challenging experiences.

Reaching out for support can be a really difficult decision and I am so proud of you for taking the first step! As human beings, we need connection and a safe environment to work through the things we go through and I aim to offer that to all my clients. I create a non-judgmental and collaborative environment where clients feel safe and empowered to authentically explore and improve their lives. I have worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and the LGBTQIA+ community facing a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, social and relationship issues, grief and loss, and trauma.

Relationship difficulties, setbacks at work, or changes in the family can make us feel anxious or depressed. Coping with world events or illness only exacerbates these issues, and we might then feel a lessened sense of control, and even lose sight of our talents and personal goals. Such times challenge us to gain greater self-understanding, as well as more effective strategies for dealing with others. Often we need to map out a new way forward.

You are feeling “stuck” in life because of anxiety, grief or trauma. You want therapy to be a safe, supportive and deeply healing experience.

If you are open, insightful, and committed to developing better self-awareness; I will provide the safe, supportive structure you need to heal your emotional pain and move forward in your life.

Hi! I'm James. Over the last decade I’ve seen good results helping people who feel that their life just recently “fell off track” even if they did not expect therapy to be the answer. I’ve tried to nurture this niche of helping those emotionally effected by high pressure stress. I have helped individuals address low mood, depression, anxiety, and low life-satisfaction. I have also worked with children and families to expand communication skills and patterns, improve relationships, increase feelings of security, and optimize being accurately understood.

Psychodrama New Jersey is a multi-practitioner office. All practitioners use a combination of modalities to treat conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, dysfunctional relationships patterns, behavioral issues, issues arising from difficult life transitions including health issues, past abuse and trauma. By combining different modalities, our practitioners are able to help you address issues from multiple directions.

We must first accept where, what, and who we are in the present moment before seeking to change ourselves or our situation. It is my belief that we are all born with the intuition and awareness that is needed to cope with life's most difficult moments, but we forget how to connect with our most inner selves as time passes and culture, environment, and life experiences impact the mind, body, and soul. In therapy, you'll learn how to access your inner wisdom and regain a sense of control over your thoughts and emotions.
