IPG is a private group psychotherapy practice in central and northern New Jersey as well as in NYC. Our offices are in Highland Park, Jersey City, Freehold and Manhattan. We are trained in a broad range of eclectic approaches to individual counseling, relationship therapy, sex therapy, hypnotherapy, and EMDR (rapid treatment for trauma and anxiety). We help people with diverse backgrounds and issues and have special expertise with the L/G/B/T/kink/poly communities. We see children, adolescents and adults, work with insurance companies, and take credit cards. Our offices are easily accessible from central and north Jersey via the major highways and public transportation. We can accomodate preferences for a therapist based on gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation. We employ thirty-five therapists, with office hours six days and evenings per week. All our therapists are licensed psychologists, licensed clinical social workers or licensed professional counselors. In addition, four of our staff are AASECT-Certified Sex Therapists (one a Diplomate in sex therapy); nine are EMDR-trained; several are CADC's (Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors); many are Certified Imago Relationship Counselors; and one is a Certified Psychodramatist.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

IPG was founded in 1983 for the purpose of serving the under-served and poorly served, specifically LGBT clients and sexual minorities. We have extensive training and experience working with these populations. Our practice works with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and kink communities as well as with transgender and gender non-conforming youth and their families. We also have the largest sex therapy practice in the region, with several AASECT-Certified Sex Therapists and twelve sex therapy Residents on staff. Please check our website to learn more about us and for helpful resources.
