Dual Diagnosis Therapists in Summit, NJ

If you're looking for substance abuse counseling, you may be frustrated to find that most services involve large groups filled with unmotivated and court-mandated clients, large time commitments, forced self-help participation, or clients with much more severe problems. Ayre Counseling offers world-class, innovative treatment that is the platinum standard in the treatment industry. I utilize a flexible, adaptive, and highly individualized approach. Rather than the traditional approaches of heavy confrontation and coercion, I provide the opportunity to change through the use of Evidenced-Based Practices that are delivered in an atmosphere of encouragement, optimism, and compassion.

My ideal client is at a place where they are ready and willing to accept their issues and want to do therapeutic work. They may have issues with depression, anxiety, or substance use. They may need to work on self-acceptance, medication management, or developing and implementing coping skills.

My ideal client is a millennial grappling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, or substance use recovery. They seek to uncover and process traumas underlying their mental health struggles.

Allow me to provide support and assist you in building coping skills.

It can be overwhelming and daunting to enter counseling especially for the first time. As a clinician, I focus on providing a warm, empathetic, and supportive environment to clients looking to address a variety of mental health, quality of life, and substance abuse issues and concerns.

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.

Welcome to my practice. I have found that developing inner resources such as curiosity, empathy and courage allows people to love more generously and to tolerate the rigors of intimacy more joyfully. These qualities naturally provide patients with new ways of dealing with life's problems, thereby reducing symptoms of distress. I believe that the process of therapy can cultivate a rich appreciation for how the past may be recreated in the present; I encourage the identification of patterns of relationships that bind people to familiar, often negative, ways of experiencing themselves and the world.

At times we find ourselves at a difficult crossroad, uncertain how to grow and change in the face of our distress. With 35 years in private practice, my goal is to help individuals and couples find a path to unknot conflicts and develop more resilient and expansive modes of living. Many of the people I work with are embroiled in addictive behaviors such as alcohol and substance misuse, gambling, sex addiction and pornography. Others struggle with painful traumatic personal histories, chronic and acute illnesses, grief and loss. And still others are mired in destructive relationship patterns that undermine the quality of their lives.

Therapy is provided to individuals, couples, and families who wish to address any of a variety of adjustment, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral issues. Comprehensive care includes strategies to address long-term growth and development as well as crisis intervention.

As humans we are uncomfortably nestled between two worlds- our symbolic inner world and the outer, concrete, external one. It is often the juxtaposition of these two worlds that leads to inner turmoil, strife and unhappiness. In our efforts to cope with this we develop coping skills which at one point might have helped us, but are no longer serving us and perhaps continuing to exacerbate our problems. Through therapy we have an opportunity to gain insight which can help to move barriers which prevent us from being our happiest selves.

My mission is to help my clients manage their emotions effectively, establish and maintain healthy relationships and create and reach life goals. My practice with Dr. Rachel Gingold, Family Health and Wellness Services. was born out of our deep belief and commitment to Dialectical Behavior Therapy and our strong desire to bring this model of treatment to troubled teens and their families. We share a vision of promoting successful development by giving clients the tools they need to make effective life choices.

I work with adults and adolescents struggling with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, ARFID (Selective Eating), and the coexisting mental health struggles that go with them. Achieving recovery is absolutely possible and with over a decade of experience my core work surrounds the belief that no one should ever have to struggle with constant worry and feelings of shame.. When it feels like others just "don't get it,” change it up. When empathy comes with strength often new understanding can develop. If you're seeking an approach steeped in possibility, give me a call.

You don't need to bear that heavy burden alone.

We'll delve into the root causes of your challenges, relieve stress through lifestyle adjustments and processing, and learn practical, evidence-based techniques to enhance your daily life. Our goal is to guide your body back to a state of relaxation, where joy can once again be felt.
