Find a Therapist in Columbia, NJ

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. I strive to create a space where you can talk openly without fear of judgment, while also learning meaningful tools to help you feel better in your daily life. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based strategies, and strengths-based approaches to help clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviors. Together, we work to identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, stress, depression, self-doubt, or feeling emotionally “stuck,” while building healthier coping strategies and greater self-awareness. I also recognize that life experiences, relationships, family dynamics, health concerns, and chronic stress can deeply affect emotional well-being. Therapy is not about “fixing” you. It is about helping you better understand yourself, develop resilience, and move toward a life that feels more manageable, balanced, and authentic. I value creating a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and collaboration. My goal is to help you feel empowered, emotionally supported, and better equipped to navigate challenges both inside and outside of therapy.

I am a Certified Gestalt Psychotherapist. "Gestalt Therapy is a client-centered approach to psychotherapy that helps clients focus on the present and understand what is really happening in their lives right now, rather than what they may perceive to be happening, based on past experience." Another aspect of my practice is to provide Neurofeedback. To learn more about my work, please go to: www.EmilySRosen.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

You don’t have to carry it alone.

You're not broken- you're human, and healing is possible!

I am currently taking new patients who are experiencing problems with work, school and/or relationships that are due to obsessive and problematic usage of internet/computer/video games. Depression and anxiety are often associated with excessive use of these interactive technologies. Within the past seven years, I have seen a significant rise in my practice in people who have experienced major difficulties that have been rooted in spending too much time online, or excessively involved in one or more forms of interactive technology (i.e., computer/video games). For some, it has to do with excessive internet surfing. For others, it may involve multi-user online games (e.g., World of Warcraft, Call of Duty). A growing number of people have reported spending ("wasting") hours upon hours on blogs, watching Youtube vidoes, and on Facebook, Tumblr, and other social networking sites.

You don’t have to have the right words or have it all figured out to begin. Therapy is a space where you get to show up as your real, unedited self. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, big life changes, or simply wanting to feel more at peace in your own skin, we’ll work together to make sense of what you’re experiencing. Together, we can unpack your thoughts, emotions, and learn tools to consciously respond to life's challenges with intention and clarity. I help others better understand themselves by unpacking beliefs and patterns that impact how they view life. We greet emotions with compassion and curiosity. We explore how life experiences shaped who you are today. Together, we can change your relationship with the past so you are no longer held back by old experiences and versions of you. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). My style is also influenced by psychodynamic, insight-oriented, mindful, and person-centered therapies. I want to help you explore life's challenges and navigate the world with ease. You are worthy of compassion and understanding from yourself and others. Contact me for a free phone consultation.

Feeling more like a passenger than a driver on life's journey is a common experience, especially when the path you're on doesn't align with your goals. The overwhelming stress and anxiety you feel may stem from trying to meet expectations that no longer serve you, leaving you feeling stuck and uncertain about how to move forward. Reaching out for support is a courageous first step toward feeling better. Imagine finding the clarity and peace you're seeking, allowing you to focus on your own needs and goals. Together, we can explore the patterns in your life and equip you with proven techniques to help you thrive rather than just survive. Our sessions are a partnership, honoring your past while energizing your present to create a better future. I provide both in-person and telehealth sessions for residents in New Jersey. If you're ready to start your journey toward personal growth and a more meaningful life, please feel free to email or call me today.

In therapy with me, you will be welcome, just as you are, as we work together to understand your unique circumstances. We'll look closely at what causes you pain, how you can have a new experience of yourself, and what is possible in your life. You may be coming to therapy because you are suffering, you feel stuck, or you simply want to know yourself better. Here's what you can expect from me: I will listen to you with my whole self. I will challenge your assumptions. I will try to see into some of your blind spots. And I will do my best to help you have a fresh and surprising encounter with yourself, one that you can draw upon long after you leave the session. Therapy can help enormously if there is a good match between the therapist and the client. I invite you to contact me to see if we would work well together.
