Mr. Joshua Bruce Lerner

As a therapist I provide a non-judgemental, accepting and supportive space to work on the problems you face. I specialize working with adults with depression and difficulties in relationships as well as with children and adolescents with depression, and behavioral difficulties. Too often the focus is on the symptom and the underlying problem is ignored. In that situation, problems will resurface in a short time. In the therapy I provide we look at causes and not simply the overt symptom. I respond to each person, as unique and do not having a cookie cutter approach to therapy.

I am psychodynamically oriented and a psychoanalyst, trained at the British Psychoanalytic Institute. The form of treatment must be based on the particular problems that each individual brings to therapy. Some individuals only need or want short term work. Others may need a longer and more intensive form of treatment.

After more than 30 years of practice patients feel comfortable with me, which is key to the success of the treatment. Everyone is unique and I treat each person that way. I am a Board Certified Diplomate; a member of The Center for Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis of NJ; and Fellow, International Psychoanalytic Association
