Whole Wellness is a mental and behavioral health private practice formed in the spring of 2023 by two clinical social workers who had become increasingly aware and concerned about the mental health crisis in our country and the lack of access to trauma-informed care for adolescents, neurodivergent individuals and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. With combined decades of work in substance abuse recovery centers, residential programs, community mental health services and school-based mental health, we understood that people need compassion and discretion to heal and achieve wellness. We also noted a need for more therapists skilled in treating and supporting the complex needs of traditionally underserved and misunderstood populations. The goal became to meet these needs while providing training and supervision to newer therapists motivated to make a difference. Whole Wellness NJ is the manifestation of a combined vision for what psychotherapy can be: sound, empathetic, evidence-based and focused on the whole person in mind, body and spirit.
