Client Experiences with Our Online Therapy in NJ

My therapist has been a crucial help in my management of my OCD.

Since working with her I've eliminated nearly all of my avoidance behaviors, while also decreasing my daily distress significantly, as well as improving my relationship dynamics. She's the first therapist I've worked with who always leaves me feeling hopeful and in good hands after every session.

I just feel like a brand new person!

I look forward to the day now and i know that my therapist is still there- in my corner! If you need help with the challenges that life gives you, please don’t hesitate to make an appointment!

No matter the reason why you or a loved one might seek therapy, I give my very highest recommendation.

My therapists wisdom, compassion and insights make her one of the best, most gifted therapists I've experienced.

I know I'm growing emotionally & I feel stronger & better with each session. 

Simply the best, a stroke of luck to have stumbled upon this practice & Rebecca. I appreciate the empathy, dedication, directness & flexibility more than I can put into words.

I’ve felt a marked difference in my overall emotional state since I started therapy.

I love working with my therapist. She really takes the time to listen to me and help me piece together my needs and coping strategies.

My therapist is fantastic.

I am receiving wisdom and insight in a nurturing and judgment free setting.

My baseline anxiety has significantly decreased since I started therapy.

I handle stressful situations with more grace than I previously did. I feel that I am able to be a better mother to my children and more confidence worker in my career.

Therapy has helped me to feel more confidence in myself

... and my ability to regulate my own emotions. I have been better able to reflect on my own thoughts and feelings and use my own self-awareness to better handle stressful situations in the future.

I have felt more confident in my abilities as a parent and a professional.

I was hoping to gain more self-confidence and build up my self-esteem, but I have also strengthened my abilities in other areas along the way

Is Online Therapy As Effective As In-Person Therapy?

Online therapy is essentially face-to-face counseling, just conducted remotely. Studies show that tele-therapy is as effective as traditional counseling. Professional organizations and state governments recognize its benefits and have set regulations for it. However, like any therapy, its success in achieving your goals isn’t guaranteed. It’s important to discuss with your therapist whether tele-therapy is working for you.

How Should I Prepare for My First Session?

Showing up is all that you need to do! But if you really want to get the most out of session, it could help to take some time to think about what you want from therapy. It helps to write down your goals, questions you have or things that you feel are important to share. 

Do you offer traditional talk therapy?

of course! though we have some unconventional therapy approaches, we are rooted in evidenced based practices. Talk therapy is a major player in the therapy room! See What we Treat and Integrative Services for more information

Is Virtual Counseling Suitable for Everyone?

Online therapy might not be as effective for individuals with chronic suicidal thoughts, severe trauma, significant mental health history, or those recently in intensive care. Such cases often benefit more from traditional, in-person counseling. We’ll help you decide if our online services are right for you during your intake and evaluation.

Can I Change Therapists If I'm Not Happy?

Yes, you can switch therapists to another provider within the practice, or we can provide you a referral if preferred. We want to ensure that your time and effort are well spent, and that you are getting the relief you need, that’s why we work collaboratively with each other in the practice, as well as outside therapists who we know and trust.
