Find a Therapist in Branchburg, NJ

I try to help all patients who come to me. Through mostly medication management, I address depression, bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety, impulsiveness, anger, mood instability, addiction, nightmares, focus and sleep issues.

As a Rapid Transformational Therapist , I'm passionate about helping individuals rewire their brains to project positive images and words. I believe in the power of beliefs—first you make your beliefs, and then your beliefs make you. My mission is to empower others to break free from limiting beliefs and unlock their true potential. I chose to become an RTT therapist because I find the approach both creative and innovative, and I'm excited to work with clients to help them improve their lives. I can help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns that may be holding you back. By becoming more attuned to your beliefs, you can create a brighter, more positive future for yourself. Let's work together to unleash the best version of you!

You've worked hard to build a successful career and establish yourself as a respected professional. People know you as someone competent, dependable, and always finds a way forward—a person of unwavering integrity. On the outside, you appear calm and in control, but inside, you carry a quiet, invisible burden: the constant pressure to get everything right, hide your fears, and stay productive—even when you're overwhelmed. You rarely give yourself permission to rest, set boundaries, or ask for help—leaving your own needs hidden beneath the surface. The behaviors and emotional patterns that bring you to therapy are not signs that something is wrong with you. They are ways you learned to cope and protect yourself in response to your earliest experiences with caregivers. Healing doesn't come from pushing yourself to do more—it begins with understanding these adaptations with compassion and gently helping your nervous system discover what true safety and connection can feel like. My approach is collaborative and attuned. We'll bring gentle curiosity to your experiences, exploring how your protective patterns once helped you survive and shaped the way you relate to yourself and others—always at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Together, we'll integrate somatic practices, mindfulness, and experiential work to cultivate safety, connection, and self-trust—laying the groundwork for meaningful, lasting change.

Do you need to be a priority in your own life? Counseling allows you to begin the healing process and practice good self care so that you can for and embrace others in your life. If you want something different in your life, try something different today. I am the clinical director of Holistic Behavioral Solutions; we have been practicing counselors for 20+ years and we love what we do, it restores our passion for life and allows us to transfer this passion to you. We believe that we need to use every tool available to us to help bring out the best you. The treatment modality is primarily HUMANISTIC in nature, we are non-judgmental and feel that our clients are doing their best with their current resources. Our therapeutic space is a place for you to heal and restore.

If you are here, something in your life probably is not working the way you want it to. Maybe the same argument keeps happening in your relationship. Maybe stress from work or family keeps following you home. Or maybe you just know you are capable of living better than the patterns you are currently stuck in. That is where our work begins. My approach is direct and collaborative. Instead of endless "how does that make you feel" conversations, we focus on what is actually happening in your life, identifying the patterns, understanding what is keeping them in place, and building practical ways to move forward. People come to me as individuals, couples, parents, and families dealing with real-world challenges: relationship stress, family conflict, life transitions, and the pressure of trying to hold everything together while still showing up for the people who depend on you. I have been doing this work for over two decades and I still genuinely love it. Not because the problems are easy, but because people are more capable of change than they usually give themselves credit for. My job is to help you see that and build on it. If you are ready to stop managing the same patterns and start actually changing them, reach out. The first conversation is free.

If you're reading this late at night, unable to sleep because of what you found on your partner's phone, or because the person lying next to you feels like a stranger, I want you to know you've come to the right place. Relationship pain can make you feel unsteady and alone. You don't have to sort it out by yourself. I'm warm, honest, and grounded, and I won't hand you a workbook or a script of communication techniques. Instead, I'll listen closely to what's happening underneath the words: the hurt beneath the anger, the longing beneath the distance, the fear beneath the silence. Here is what I believe. Romantic love is meant to be a refuge, a place where you feel wanted, understood, and safe. When couples fight constantly, drift apart, or carry quiet resentment, something has come between them. Our work is to find it, understand it, and clear it away so closeness can return. An affair is a different kind of injury. It doesn't just come between partners; it shakes the ground they stand on. If you're facing infidelity, we'll start by steadying the crisis. Then we'll work, carefully and at a pace you can manage, toward the hardest task in couples therapy: rebuilding trust. I'll be honest with you that this isn't always possible. When it is, I'll help you get there. When it isn't, I'll help you part with clarity and dignity. If you've been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner or family member, our work will be individual, because couples therapy isn't safe in that situation. Together, we'll make sense of what you lived through and help you trust your own mind again. My approach is attachment-based and guided by The Intimacy Bond™, a framework I developed from more than a decade of work with couples. In plain terms, it means I pay close attention to two things: how emotionally connected you feel, and how physically close and desired you feel. When both are strong, a relationship can weather almost anything. All sessions are online, so you can meet with me from anywhere in New Jersey. If something here speaks to you, I'd welcome the chance to talk. Reach out for a complimentary consultation, and let's see whether we're a good fit.

Therapy is a special place to explore who you truly are and what makes you happy. If you are not feeling fulfilled, it is time to do something about that! Life is short, and the capacity to look at how you deal with situations can require a special kind of honesty to make real change. I would like to help you achieve that goal. With over 20+ years as a therapist, I have helped clients work through a wide variety of issues - depression, anxiety, and marital and family problems. I would love to opportunity to work with you and help you make these important changes. I specialize in CBT and mindfulness to address depression, anxiety, and stress and have written an 8-week program that can help you make major changes in your life and how you react to situations. I have recently expanded my practice in the Morristown area, and I'm currently accepting new patients. I have been a psychotherapist for over 20+ years and have experience in a wide range of issues. Our work together will focus on your current life issues as we move towards a deeper understanding of what causes these reactions. As a result, you will be able to make different choices in your life.

I’m Sami, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and art therapist dedicated to helping people feel truly seen and heard. Throughout my career, I’ve supported children, teens, and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and complex family dynamics. I also use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in my sessions to help clients work through extreme emotions and what can feel like the aftermath of intense situations. This has shaped my belief that healing begins in a space where your story is honored, and your emotions are met with compassion rather than judgment. Together, we can work toward helping you get back in control of your story.

Women deserve spaces where they feel emotionally safe enough to become fully themselves. I provide virtual psychotherapy for women seeking support for sexual trauma recovery, PTSD, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, identity concerns, and life transitions. Whether this is your first experience with therapy or one step in a longer healing journey, I am honored to walk alongside you. My goal is to provide a therapeutic environment where women feel seen, heard, respected, valued, and supported as they move toward healing and authenticity. Through trauma-informed, affirming psychotherapy, I strive to create an environment where women can reconnect with themselves, reclaim their voices, strengthen self-trust, and move toward lives that feel more authentic, meaningful, and emotionally free. You are welcome here. Healing is not about becoming someone different. It is about coming home to yourself.

Life can be challenging and painful. Relationships break. Your self-esteem may suffer, and life can feel lonely and lacking. Addictions may be ruining your life and the lives of ones you love. A history of trauma can challenge your most cherished hopes and dreams, and can drain your coping skills. This pain can touch every area of your life. I know that pain can be healed. I am a licensed professional counselor who embraces holistic methods that focus on belief systems, emotions, relationships, spirituality, and health. I offer counseling services for women, men, couples, and teens in a safe and confidential environment. I specialize in helping people navigate the challenges of addiction, interventions, depression, OCD, grief, eating disorders, anxiety, incest, women's issues, infidelity, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

I subscribe to a holistic approach when it comes to therapy. By that I mean that I'm interested in understanding you as a complete person, rather than just a collection of symptoms or problems. I'm not interested in gathering information from you to support a specific diagnosis. Instead, I want to hear your unique story, so I can see life through your eyes and gain a better understanding of what makes you tick (as well as what might be ticking you off at the moment). Once we identify those factors, we'll have a better grasp on how to get you to a better place mentally and emotionally.
