What’s hard right now?
Here are the most common reasons people start therapy and how we’ll tackle them together.
Anxiety & Overwhelm
Racing thoughts, what-ifs, dread before bed. We’ll map triggers, calm the body, and shrink avoidance—one doable step at a time.
Relationship Strain
Same argument, different day. We’ll slow the pattern, rebuild safety in conversation, and practice repairs that actually land.
Parenting & ADHD
Transitions, homework, big feelings. We’ll set first-then routines, timer blocks, and consistent rewards for calmer evenings.
Burnout & Stress
Always on, never done. We’ll right-size your week, set boundaries that hold, and rebuild energy without guilt.
Life Transitions
New role, new city, new season. We’ll clarify values, set 2–3 anchor habits, and pace change so it sticks.
Grief & Loss
When the floor drops out, we slow down. Gentle support, meaning-making, and rituals for the days that hurt most.
How therapy helps: step by step
Plan, practice, tools, support. Simple, repeatable changes that fit your week.
Plan
First we set 1–2 clear goals and define what “better” looks like. You’ll leave session one with next steps, not guesswork.
- Target the highest-leverage routine first.
- Pick metrics you can actually track.
Practice
We rehearse skills in session so they’re easier at home—calm breathing, repair scripts, first-then routines, boundary lines.
- Short “home practices” you can do this week.
- Review what worked / tweak what didn’t.
Tools
Evidence-based approaches you can feel: CBT/ACT for anxiety & mood, EFT-informed skills for couples, PMT for parenting/ADHD.
- Checklists, visuals, and quick reference cards.
- No jargon—just what to try, when, and how.
Support
Telehealth across NJ, NY & CT; in-person in Rutherford (limited). HIPAA-compliant, private, and paced to your life.
- In-network in NJ: Horizon, Cigna, UHC, TRICARE.

When to consider therapy:
You’re avoiding things you value because of worry or conflict.
Evenings feel chaotic and everyone’s on edge.
