Life Coaching Therapists in Ridgewood, NJ

My work with individuals and couples includes a specialization in communication, relationship issues, shame, vulnerability, self-esteem issues, anxiety/depression, and any barrier to fulfilling one's full potential. I use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies, and take a strengths-based approach to encourage and promote self-awareness and empowerment. My style combines clinical techniques with a holistic perspective that takes into account a body-mind-heart connection. I describe this connection as awareness of health, thoughts, and emotions.

Would you like to manage the stressful issues and events of your life more effectively? Are everyday problems more difficult than they should be? Are the extraordinary or traumatic events completely overwhelming? Is your personal and professional life not as fulfilling as you want? Is alcohol or drug use exacerbating your problems? Are your usual methods of coping with problems failing to bring relief? Maybe it's time to try a new approach. Crisis, as traumatic as it may seem, can be an opportunity to examine and re-negotiate life events and life choices for a more fulfilling future.

Are you looking for help for your teenager or college student? Are their struggles keeping you up at night and causing you stress and worry? Are they sad, scared or constantly fighting with you ? I specialize in helping teens, young adults and moms navigate through depression and anxiety. Many young people think they're not measuring up. They may be struggling with problems with friends, academic pressures, difficult family relationships or a challenging transition to college. Times can be tough, but with the right support your child can learn to deal with problems more effectively while feeling better about life !

Are you feeling stuck in your daily life? Are you feeling burned out? Do you feel no motivation to wake up and make changes that you think are necessary? I believe therapy can make changes in your daily life so that you feel motivated and empowered to continue which will result in a significant decrease in general stress level. As a trained therapist, I will walk with you to help you to see where you are and where you are heading within a holistic, client-centered approach. You will encounter small and large challenges throughout your life. You can benefit from therapy sessions by learning how to better manage these stressors.

You are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and frustrated. You thought that in time you would feel better, but you don’t. You are struggling with obsessive thoughts that tell you, you’re not good enough, you’ll always feel this way, or you have to be perfect. You feel guilty, depressed, and embarrassed for thinking these thoughts and for behaving in ways you just can’t control. You feel like you are on a hamster wheel and going nowhere fast. You aren’t sure how you got to this place, but you know you want out. There is hope. You don’t have to feel this way and you don’t have to do it alone. We can work together to improve your life.

One of the most difficult things to do is to recognize we need help... for even the strongest and most healthy can need a trusted mentor and healer at some point. Our personal lives and experiences shouldn't be trusted to just anyone; and it is difficult to find a qualified therapist who is both skilled in their work and able to connect with others in an empathetic way. Rob has this blend of unique and important abilities. He believes that successful therapy is working toward the ability to heal, recover, and thrive in one's life. Rob is a Clinical Director at Minisink Psychology & Psychotherapy in Ridgewood, NJ.

I bring 21 years of pastoral counseling experience to my 17 years of clinical practice with adults, children, couples and families. My clinical and pastoral background gives me the opportunity to provide a gentle calming presence and a compassionate understanding to my work with individuals and families who struggle with managing life challenges related to anxiety, depression and resolving conflict. I also provide life coaching to help individuals navigate life transitions due to separation, divorce, loss and grief.

People often seek out therapy hoping for some form of change. Whether you are struggling with feelings of stress, anger, sadness, confusion, or frustration, or searching for peace, you are not meant to do it alone. My goal is to help you live a more meaningful life through a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focus, I create a unique plan for clients to most effectively address a broad range of issues including depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, marital distress, and to develop more adaptive skills related to coping and communication. We will work to create better awareness of yourself and create happier and healthier lives.

Being a parent is a gift. However, some days we can find ourselves wondering if we are doing our best by our children, our partners and even ourselves. With life's demands - work, household responsibilities, other activities - one can find themselves feeling as if they are stretched thin. Stress that is left unchecked can run the risk of escalating to a severe presentation of anxiety or depression. This can in turn affect the way we parent and resolve family conflict. As a Mother and Wife I bring this relateability to our conversations.

In understanding that individuals in pain or having a particular challenge in life may make only one attempt at reaching out for help, I strive to welcome and set at ease every one who contacts me. Most therapy patients are ordinary people that have hit a bump in the road of life and cannot get past it on their own. My commitment, through goal directed therapy, is to help those people return to their optimal level of coping with the sometimes mild, sometimes severe challenges that life brings their way and guide them back to a sense of well being.

Sometimes situations become too difficult for us to handle on our own. Receiving support and guidance can be helpful in building self confidence and strength to handle situations that arise, and address conflicts. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, experienced in working with adults and young adults, treating a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, self esteem, relationship conflicts, pregnancy, postpartum, and divorce.

Is the 'help-seeking' process hard for you? If you find that you're overwhelmed by that: feeling anxious, depressed, or having trouble dealing with a certain situation, look no further! I can help bring clarity to your life. My therapy incorporates YOUR needs and strengths into a semi-holistic approach that compliments pharmacological interventions. This means we use methods to treat the mind, body, soul, AND environment. Each goal is realistic and at YOUR pace. I can help you discover control. I will always provide you with the skills and tools to avoid re-occurrence of these issues.

Thomas Ogden wrote "The most fundamental human need is that of being and becoming more fully oneself...becoming more fully present and alive to one's thoughts, feelings and bodily states; becoming better able to sense one's own unique creative potentials and finding forms in which to develop them; feeling that one is speaking one's own ideas with a voice of one's own; becoming a larger person in one's relationships with others; developing more fully a humane and just value system and set of ethical standards."

I have been working with adolescents and young adults for over 15 years. My practice provides a nurturing and supportive environment to help my clients work on their daily struggles and create a better and happier life for themselves. When working with teenagers, often family therapy is needed to ensure that everyone is working together for there to be positive changes. I will assist parents in how to better manage some of the behaviors that they are seeing with their child.

I enjoy my work as a therapist. The cornerstone of my success is my ability to provide a safe environment, listen intently, and genuinely engage with the individuals and families that I meet. Perhaps you are on the precipice of change, and you just can't take the first step. Maybe you are taking inventory of your life, and you need guidance on how to sum up your past and learn how to make new decisions in this moment with your eyes wide open. Together, we can sort out the transition and help you move toward positive transformation.

Life can get better. Change can happen. I treat individuals and couples struggling with depression and anxiety who are seeking to free themselves from continued suffering. Reaching out for help is an action of strength. My approach is empathic and nonjudgemental. The right professional guidance can help you feel better and potentially change your life. Many of my patients have found greater happiness and fulfillment. I specialize in treatment for anxiety and depression as well as relationship issues. Call today to set up an initial consultation.
