Find a Therapist in Warren, NJ

Feeling stuck and overwhelmed? It’s hard to be fully prepared for all of the challenges life throws at us. You don’t have to face it alone. Whether you’re struggling with emotional difficulties or other real-life obstacles, therapy can give you a space to pause, breathe, and reflect on what matters most to you. Together, we’ll work through the patterns holding you back, build practical tools for coping and growth, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling. Over the past twenty years as a therapist, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship and workplace difficulties, illness, grief, and major life transitions. I focus on the present to help clients build awareness and engage with themselves more authentically. My goal is to help you reconnect with your spontaneous self and move beyond the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. This also means taking ownership of your choices, feelings, and actions. Together, we’ll explore new perspectives, strengthen self-awareness, and develop practical tools that support lasting change.

Everyone has different needs, and as such I tune in to sense what clients need throughout the session. My goal is to make you feel comfortable enough to raise any issue at all, whether it be about current or past experiences, or how you are experiencing the therapy session. I use an interpersonal approach, and while I am listening closely, I am also open, responsive, and present, and will be sharing my thoughts, questions, and ideas about what is going on in your life and what I think might be most helpful to you. I use a direct and interactive approach, which I believe helps people to engage more fully in the therapy process. Together, we will clarify problems, gain more insight into how external situations are affecting your mental health, apply strategies to minimize negative behavior patterns, and cope more effectively with difficult emotions such as sadness, anger, or pain. Although I am solution-focused and results-oriented, I also encourage self-reflection so that problems are less likely to recur in the future. At times, this may require confronting past experiences that are surfacing in the present in the form of depression, anxiety, anger, problems with intimacy, or unwanted thoughts or behaviors. In addition to working closely with clients to manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, I help people use psychotherapy to work through difficulties or obstacles they may be facing at different points in their lives, whether this be finding the right career path, resolving ongoing conflicts in relationships, coping with stress or painful experiences such as loss or trauma, or struggling with addiction or other self-destructive behaviors. I also specialize in treating eating issues and distorted body image, as well as problems in work, partner, peer, and family relationships.

My name is Lucy, and I’m a Gestalt therapist and Level 1 internal family systems (IFS) therapist practicing in New York and Washington. My practice is open to individuals, couples, and non-monogamous and poly relationships. I’m an LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-informed, and experientially oriented therapist, and I support clients of all genders, sexualities, bodies, and racial and cultural identities. I specialize in supporting clients who want to address attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and its impacts on daily living and relationships, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, emotional and nervous system dysregulation, trauma, religious trauma, grief and loss, attachment wounds, life and relational transitions, and gender-affirming care and sexuality exploration. I utilize a non-pathologizing model, treating your lived experience with compassion and an understanding of systemic impacts in order to build internal ease. I’m currently 100% virtual and use telehealth to support our work together. I’m a firm believer that we all deserve a place to feel loved, supported, acknowledged, fought for, , above all, celebrated. We have an incredible and powerful ability to learn, heal, grow, and thrive when given a chance, or when we give ourselves permission to acknowledge our own fears, patterns, and shame, and then take a leap to move through them toward healing. My approach recognizes internal challenges as well as the world’s impact on you, and I meet you where you’re at with compassion, acceptance, care, mindfulness, and a bit of humor. We are products of our environment, our families, and our ancestral history, and within the therapeutic space, we can support the past, recognize its effect in the present, , with awareness, support changes for the future.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and school psychologist with over 25 years of experience working with children, adults, and families in community, outpatient, and school settings. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I also bring extensive experience supporting people with autism, learning disabilities, and intellectual disabilities. I believe in every person’s capacity for growth, and I tailor my approach to each individual’s strengths and needs.

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.

My passion is working with young people and their families concerned about the impact of substance use in their lives. I understand that many people have been harmed by one-size-fit-all treatment approaches, so self-empowerment is my focus and my approach is person- and family-centric. There are many paths to wellness. This means that you are in charge of your treatment goals. I understand that any change is difficult so I'll meet you where you're at in the change process to empower you to take the next steps. People use substances for reasons. I'll work with you to help you understand your relationship with substances and collaborate with you to develop tools and strategies to reduce any harms associated with your use. Goals may include safer use, reduced use or abstinence.

I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP)-BC) with 15 years of experience providing evidence-based mental health care through telehealth. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, mood-related challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation concerns. I support individuals and families seeking greater clarity, balance, and coping skills to improve daily functioning at home, school, work, and in relationships.

The longer I've worked in the mental health field, the more I've come to appreciate that many of the struggles that leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious are rooted in our very human desire for certainty, safety, and control. Our brains are wired to seek predictability. When life feels uncertain, painful, or outside of our control, it's natural to search for ways to regain a sense of security. Sometimes this shows up through perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing, rigidity, self-criticism, or trying to anticipate every possible outcome. While these strategies often develop for understandable reasons, and may have even helped us survive at one point, they can eventually become exhausting, isolating, and keep us from living fully in the present. At the foundation of my work is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), not simply as a set of coping skills, but as a way of approaching life with greater mindfulness, flexibility, self-awareness, and acceptance. I am deeply passionate about teaching practical life skills that help people build emotional resilience while creating lives that feel meaningful and aligned with their values. At the same time, my work extends beyond skills alone. I view each person through a humanistic, trauma-informed, and existential lens, recognizing that our relationships, identities, lived experiences, and search for meaning all shape the ways we understand ourselves and navigate the world. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that you are more than a diagnosis or a collection of symptoms. Together, we'll explore the patterns that no longer serve you, develop greater self-understanding, and build the confidence to respond to life's challenges with intention rather than fear. Whether we're practicing mindfulness, exploring the impact of past experiences, strengthening relationships, or learning to tolerate uncertainty, my goal is to help you loosen the grip of overcontrol, cultivate self-compassion, and create a life that feels authentic, connected, and fulfilling. Healing isn't about becoming a different person. It's about reconnecting with the person you've always been beneath the fear, self-doubt, and protective strategies that once kept you safe. If you're ready to begin that journey, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
