Our Approach
At our practice in Montclair, New Jersey, we recognize that venting and being heard are vital parts of therapy. However, we don’t simply let you monologue through entire sessions. Many clients come to us after having passive “listen only” therapy, craving more active guidance. Our engaged, interactive style helps you gain insights to transform your life. We teach you to identify unhelpful thought patterns, face anxieties head-on, process traumas, and retrain your brain. Our goal is to equip you with practical skills to independently manage life’s challenges long after our sessions end. We want to collaborate with you to create lasting change. Contact us today to learn more about our transformative approach to therapy in Montclair.

LGBTQIA+
Recent research indicates that LGBTQIA+ community members face a significantly higher likelihood—nearly three times more—of experiencing major depression and generalized anxiety disorders compared to their cisgender heterosexual counterparts. Additionally, studies have highlighted that LGBTQIA+ individuals are at an elevated risk of grappling with suicidal thoughts and attempts. Notably, LGBTQIA+ youth are almost five times as likely to attempt suicide compared to their heterosexual peers. These are terrifying and unacceptable statistics.
Our unwavering dedication to the LGBTQIA+ community lies in fostering an empathetic and nurturing environment where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, can access the assistance and care they rightfully deserve.
NEW PARENTS
A 2023 survey by Pew Research Center on Parenting in America revealed that most feel parenting is harder than they expected it to be. And for good reason! Becoming a parent is both exciting and disorienting for mothers and fathers in different ways. We know that 1 in 5 mothers experiences postpartum depression, however, other less-publicized challenges also impact the transition to parenthood for both partners including:
– traumatic birthing experiences
– postpartum anxiety and OCD
– financial stress
– sleep deprivation
– identity/role changes
– relationship changes
– overall confidence in parenting abilities
Supporting expectant mothers and fathers in navigating these challenges even before the baby arrives is essential to help them prepare for this significant life transition.
We honor the unique-ness of each parent’s journey by recognizing that what works for one may not work for another. Our clinicians focus on empowering couples to feel informed, prepared, and emotionally supported as they navigate this new chapter of life.
