Compassionate, Discreet Psychotherapy
​
If you are struggling with such issues as anxiety, stress, depression, substance use-related issues, sexuality-related struggles, mood disorders, ADHD, OCD, trauma, Autism Spectrum related issues, Learning Disabilities, Family or Relationship Issues, Life Changes, or any other psycho-social stressor affecting your tranquility and happiness, we can help! At Whole Wellness NJ, we use an affirming and compassionate technique in our Psychotherapy. Complete confidentiality and a complete absence of judgement are cornerstones to effective therapy. We take this very seriously. Trust is also a huge cornerstone which we value highly and realize its importance in the healing journey. Confidentiality is a basic requirement of psychotherapy and is held at the highest standard. Trust that the patient will not be judged, criticized, or made to feel worse, combined with knowledge that what you talk about it confidential is paramount to effective treatment. All policies are fully in-line with both HIPAA and Federal Law 42 CFR Part II.. - Laws that protect your health information from being released anywhere without your specific consent. Ultimately, we want to see you succeed in life the way you see fit, to life a fulfilled and happy life.
Some Types of Psychotherapy We Include...​​​
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that are harmful or ineffective, replacing them with more accurate thoughts and functional behaviors. It can help a person focus on current problems and how to solve them. It often involves practicing new skills in the “real world.” CBT can be helpful in treating a variety of disorders, including depression, anxiety, trauma related disorders, and eating disorders.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation helps the patient to understand their condition, potential consequences, potential benefits, any relevant pathology, and evidence-based tactics to help through tough moments. Psychoeducation will also help the patient to understand their psycho-social health better in such a way that they can continue aware mindfulness, thus improving quality of life.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a specific type of CBT that helps regulate emotions. It is often used to treat people with chronic suicidal thoughts and people with borderline personality disorder, eating disorders and PTSD. It teaches new skills to help people take personal responsibility to change unhealthy or disruptive behavior. It involves both individual and group therapy.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivational Interviewing is a clinical technique that can help one identify their intrinsic values and strengths, and using them to assist with motivation in making a change. It is one of the most widely-used approaches for substance use-related issues.
Cognitive Analytical Therapy
Cognitive-Anayltic Therapy is a type of therapy in which the therapist and patient work together to identify schemas, or subconscious beliefs about the world. Together we’d explore the root causes of these schemas and detect wherever they are causing issues in our psychological or social lives. We would search for the meaning and work towards a corrective-emotional experience in which remission can be obtained. Frequently Cognitive-Analytical Therapy can occur following brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, as the CBT assists with the development of coping skills, which is often recommended. On the other hand, the Cognitive Analysis that would follow prevents emotional flair ups entirely and helps one to meet their goals.
​Psychotherapy can be short-term (a few sessions), dealing with immediate issues, or long-term (months to years), dealing with longstanding, complex issues, or to benefit one’s emotional wellbeing for the long-term. The goals of treatment are identified by the patient with help from the psychotherapist. The patient will be steering the direction therapy with help from the therapist, and both collaboratively will discuss the frequency and duration of treatment based on the therapist’s clinical recommendations and the patient’s preferences.
