Evidence-Based Therapy & Mental Health Services in New Jersey

The world may feel really hard for many of us right now. This is perfectly normal. Our therapists have a message for you. ...

When your child is having big emotions and not listening, it can be a stressful experience for everyone. Instead of assuming your child is being defiant and disrespectful, see if they might be overwhelmed.

If overwhelmed, find ways to co-regulate.
If they are being “defiant” see how you can work together to solve the problem.

Often, its not your childs intention to be upset, something happened that has led to them have a hard time. As @drbeckyatgoodinside suggests, the child i having a hard time, not giving you a hard time.

Communicate from this point of view.

This doesn’t mean let your child get away with bad behavior, it just means opening yourself up to using this moment as an opportunity to connect with your child, validate their feelings, and give them autonomy in choosing the next thing together. You give them the options, they are in control of choosing.

With that being said, no solution is one size fits all. If you are looking for a more personalized approach in child therapy, we have 7 convenient locations in northern jersey where you can schedule to meet and work with a child therapist that is best suited to your needs.

Evidence based mental healthcare is just a call away. 💙 ...

Social anxiety in adults is rising every year. Research indicates this could be roughly 15 million individuals in the US, and that is just the people who filled out the survey.

In a world that is more distant and avoidant of in person connection, adults have started to find themselves to be more anxious in social settings. Our inner voice gets to critical, we overthink every interaction, we doubt ourselves when it comes to making an approach and befriend others.

This is a problem that we as therapists have seen so often in our clients. This is why we started The Coffee Cohort. A co-ed social skills group based out of our Hoboken location. Our goal is simple, help you feel more capable and confident in social situations that typically make you anxious.

With a small group of peers, and us, your therapists and group leaders. We will spend every Friday for 8 weeks, building, practicing and assigning weekly tasks to help you get yourself out there as your most authentic self.

If you know someone who could benefit from this group, share this post. If you are interested in learning more, comment social and we will DM you more details ...
