NJ Counseling Services We Provide

The New Jersey counseling services we provide include:

• Trauma therapy: Trauma affects more than just your mind—it can cause physical pain and other symptoms, too. Our counselors will help you work through the symptoms and start enjoying life again.
• Anxiety therapy. It’s no secret that life in these modern times is just… a lot. Whether your anxiety is tied to specific triggers or casts a shadow over your daily life, we’ll teach you tools to reduce these symptoms and break free from being helding back.
• Online therapy. Counseling sessions should be a safe, calm space for you. That’s hard when you’re trapped on the NJ Turnpike or fighting for parking. With online therapy, you never have to leave your favorite cozy spot at home. No waiting rooms, no rushing & no traffic! Your therapist is  just one click away.
• PTSD counseling. PTSD is a long-term condition that causes flashbacks and other symptoms which interfere with your life. But you don’t have to deal with it alone. We take a holistic approach to treat PTSD on a neurological level.
• Psychotherapy. Working with one of our psychotherapists will help you understand any negative thoughts or feelings, and more importantly, navigate them masterfully. If you’re spending hours each day worrying about specific issues or feeling apathetic overall, psychotherapy is a good choice.
• Depression counseling. Depression, when left unchecked, can become a serious mental illness. Our counselors look beyond your symptoms, get to know you on a deep level, and guide you through treating the symptoms.
• Brainspotting. Brainspotting, like EMDR, rewires your brain on a neurophysiological level. From PTSD to anxiety to addiction, this transformative modality teaches your brain things like when to—and when not to—produce stress chemicals.
• CBT therapy. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) enables you to notice illogical, harmful thought patterns and work through them. With your newfound awareness, you’ll learn problem-solving skills that serve you for the rest of your life & help you create empowering stories instead of disempowering ones.
• IFS therapy. IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy is an incredibly powerful, yet little-known modality. If you’ve ever felt completely torn while making a big decision, or find yourself self-sabotaging now and then, IFS therapy teaches you about accepting the different facets of your true self & accessing the real you.
• Panic attack counseling. We all go into “fight or flight” mode sometimes. But when these instincts kick in after your boss gives you some feedback, they aren’t serving you well. Panic attack counseling can help you manage and overcome these symptoms in a holistic, healthy way.
• Talk therapy. During these sessions, you’ll talk with one of our licensed trauma informed counselors about your behaviors, feelings, and thoughts. You’ll work together to identify harmful patterns and take control of your life.
• Group therapy. Sometimes what you’re really missing in life is clarity and a space to release anxiety or trauma you’re holding onto. That’s exactly what group therapy is perfect for. Our group therapy helps you connect with people like you, while rebuilding trust and confidence in yourself. We’re not supposed to go through life alone, and group therapy can create a sense of  belonging & being understood that will help you make progress.

Our dedicated, passionate mental health professionals are always learning more. Every one of us strives to serve and support you through our commitment to continuing education. We have all been trained in somatic therapies and continue to engage in the latest training that target trauma, anxiety, and other issues so that we can make them available to you!

Are There Counseling Services in New Jersey That Offer Sliding Scale Fees Based on Income?

Yes. However most therapist’s unfortunately do not, especially if they have extensive training. We do our best to help you get the most out of your coverage and employ clinicians at different experience levels to offer a higher and lower range of pricing options. You can learn more on our FAQ page, but you won’t be able to get an exact dollar amount for your own sessions there. If you give us a call we’ll work with you privately to figure out your fees, based on the therapist you choose and your coverage.

Still Not Sure if Counseling is Right for You?

Trauma isn’t just stored in your mind—it’s present in your body, too. Our dissociation therapists use somatic modalities, which impact both your mental and physical health. It’s normal, therefore, to experience a few mild side effects like heightened sensitivity.
