Therapists in Whippany, NJ

My Name is Dr. Meredith Carleton, and I am a Licensed Psychologist and Registered Creative Arts Therapist. I offer my clients a warm and welcoming environment that promotes connection and growth. My treatment style is very eclectic, integrating psychodynamic and family systems fundamentals with creative techniques and cognitive behavioral (CBT) interventions. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression and other mood issues, as well as trauma, ADHD, and behavioral concerns. I serve clients across the lifespan, with additional expertise in issues relevant to children, adolescents, emerging adults (age 18-25) and LGBTQ individuals.

People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some seek personal growth or are struggling with addictions, depression, anxiety or relationship issues etc. People are individuals who respond in their own particular way to therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients and utilize various therapy techniques depending on their needs. One of the most important factors in therapy is having a positive therapeutic relationship where trust can be formed and the person feels validated.

Cognitive Change has been providing excellent service to each individual, couple, and family for over 12 years through the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for all ages. Our clients include all cultural, racial, gender, and economic backgrounds. All our therapists are either certified in CBT, TEAM-CBT, or DBT and are supervised by a certified CBT therapist. We work with co-dependency, anger, OCD, phobias, panic disorders, PTSD & trauma. Our goal with all clients is to learn how to move toward the life the client wants to live while accepting themselves and the world around them.

It has been my privilege for the last 30 years in assisting my clients in resolving a variety of challenges - anxiety, depression, unresolved grief, unresolved trauma (both childhood and adult), marital problems and divorce recovery. Often when faulty learning (i.e., Stinkin' Thinkin') results from traumatic events or unhealthy relationships, effective help requires applying psychological, social and spiritual resources.

In my 19 years as a therapist, I have worked with a range of clients, such as co-dependency, anger, OCD, phobias, panic disorders, and PTSD & trauma with individuals, couples, and families, and I have learned every client is vastly different. One thing that is the same is that the goal for the client is always moving towards living kind of the life they want to live. What that looks like is different for everyone because we all have our own set of values. But the stronger our values, the harder it can be to accept ourselves and others in the world. I help clients find that balance for themselves!

My goal is to provide a warm and supportive environment for my clients, in which we will work collaboratively to identify the factors contributing to stress and create a plan to develop coping skills and empowerment. Children, adolescents and adults engage with me in a process to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and overall stress that leads to greater fulfillment and enjoyment in life. My participation in this field is my passion, and I consider it my privilege to work with each of my clients.

If you are feeling stuck in your life or simply feel like you have lost your way, therapy can help. I work with individuals, couples and families who need help with anxiety, depression, disconnection in relationships, or every day challenges that need support and guidance. I am dedicated to helping people with stressors in all aspects of their relationships. As a Certified Imago Therapist, it is my passion to help people reconnect by teaching effective communication skills. When relationships are not connected, it can feel like everything is crumbling. If couples are willing to work at it, they can become more connected to each other.

I take a strengths based, collaborative approach to therapy to treat depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship and marital issues, trauma and PTSD among many other challenges that people face every day.

As an oncology social worker, my clinical expertise relates to helping individuals maximize coping and management of cancer and other chronic illnesses. Every person brings unique characteristics to dealing with illness, so we'll look together for your inner sources of strength to help to find your own best way of coping. We'll work together to find ways to minimize the internal and external stressors that accompany illness, using a strengths-based foundation. Because illness affects the entire family, I work with patients, caregivers and children of patients in individual, couple and family sessions.

If you would like to resolve longstanding feelings of depression and anxiety, feelings of loss, the symptoms of trauma, or a tendency to repeat the same problems in relationships, you may have found that time-limited, symptom-focused therapy hasn't relieved your suffering. Perhaps it has even discouraged you from thinking you can find a lasting solution to your problems. You may feel hopeless about being able to stop what seems like a repeating series of crises, feeling resigned to suffer or cope with difficulty.
