Anxiety Therapists in Westmont, NJ

My goal in treatment is to help individuals find more effective ways to live healthier, happier, and more successful lives. What this looks like for each client depends on individualized treatment goals. Among my specialties is the treatment of anxiety and depression. I successfully help parents shift their children's behaviors from problematic to more cooperative and positive. I also specialize in trauma recovery, treating victims of childhood abuse, major accidents, rape, domestic violence, community violence, other crimes etc. In addition, I also work with issues related to adoption, the death of a loved one, divorce, etc.

I help adults who struggle with feelings of anxiety and depression that impact their health, relationships, and self-esteem. You may have been asking yourself if you just need more time to figure out what is wrong, or wondering what it will take for you to feel better. You may be feeling overwhelmed, physically and mentally exhausted, stuck without solutions to your situation, or feeling frustrated regarding your life, relationships, or circumstances. I help my clients to establish boundaries, explore their thinking about themselves, recognize their triggers, and learn to be more present in their everyday lives.

You keep telling yourself that you’re overreacting. You desperately try to convince yourself that there’s no reason for you to be feeling so anxious, sad, and overwhelmed. But it’s no use. And the constant inner nagging and self-criticism only make things worse. You’re always on edge, prepared for some unseen danger lurking around the corner. You can’t sleep at night, and concentrating is becoming impossible. Every decision you need to make is over-analyzed and second-guessed to the point of complete paralysis. You desperately want to find peace, but nothing you’ve tried has helped. You’re out of ideas, and it feels hopeless.

My ideal client is a client who struggles with anxiety, relationship issues, and family trauma. They'll learn to identify triggers, use healthier coping skills, and improve their overall mood. They will learn to communicate more assertively and openly to meet their needs. They also want to process past trauma and understand why and how it still affects them today.

Hello, I'm Michelle Bonilla, a licensed professional counselor with extensive experience across various clinical settings, including inpatient detoxification units and outpatient substance use disorder treatment programs.

Hello, I'm Allison Santero, LCSW. With over 20 years as a Clinical Therapist, I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families.

My speciality is working with individuals experiencing issues with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, over-eating, grief and trauma. My approach is to first identify existing coping strategies to deal with the current stressors. Together, we sort out the underlying problems and identify and develop a tool kit with more effective coping strategies for the many challenges that the world throws at you. We examine and re-frame your emotional reactions to current and past trauma. The relationship between therapist and client is really important for change; and I do my best to provide a warm, natural, humorous and relaxed atmosphere.

I have had over 25 years where I have helped all individuals make mind/ body connections to manage their mental health needs while improving their lives using many different cognitive behavioral skills and psychoeducation techniques.

My ideal clients are moms struggling with anxiety and looking for support through their transition to motherhood. These women are looking for encouragement and need support as they learn to trust their own intuition.

It takes a lot of courage to seek out a therapist so kudos for getting to this point. My favorite piece of being a therapist is helping individuals to find peace within their own minds. Anxious thoughts, negative self talk and substance use can cloud our minds, prevent us from being fully present in the moment, deprive us of feeling joy and leave us feeling foggy, unorganized and irritated most days.
