My name is Gina Peccia, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of New Jersey. With over 15 years of experience, I have developed a sound and well-received reputation of being a very compassionate and effective therapist in my area. I am a graduate of Seton Hall University, and achieved high honors upon completion of my Master's degree in Counseling and my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. After experience in a variety of community mental health settings, I started a private practice in 2011. I treat adolescents and adults with a variety of clinical issues (mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, etc.), as well as supporting and coaching clients through difficult life circumstances. I am a proponent of a 'person-centered' therapy approach, which means I will always meet the client where they are in their journey. It seems that life is so complicated these days, that there is no time for YOU. As a therapist with 15+ years of experience, I am here to help you identify those areas of your life that require change, and set reasonable goals. If you are suffering with clinical symptoms that are affecting your life, I can assist you in working to overcome them. I will always convey a sense of concern and trust essential to any therapeutic relationship. It is my priority to engage you in a calm and welcoming manner, so that you can finally just breathe and relax in order to attain your goals. I believe in the value of mindfulness in our daily lives. I will guide you slowly to focus on the present moment, rather than get stuck in the past or worry about a future that is unknown. This simple concept has a powerful effect on change, allowing a sense of well-being that will positively impact your life.

Therapy is a very unique experience and when you reach out for help it should fit who you are and what you need. One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is creating that fit for each of my clients. For some people reaching out for help is easy and for others it is one of the most difficult things that have ever had to do. No matter where you are on that spectrum I feel confident that together we can find what it is that you are seeking. My approach to therapy is a present focused and a goal oriented style. I work with my clients to explore their current life and find what it is that is out of sync. At times we need to look to the future to see how things could play out and at times we need to look to the past to see where things may have gone off track. But the main goal is getting you peace in your today. I have had the pleasure to work with a diverse population in my career and there is a broad range of issues that I can assist with. So if you are in search of some guidance and support, I would like to help you find a place in your life that makes you feel glad to be alive :) I am a Masters Level Addiction Professional (MCAP) and have extensive background working with addictions. **Please contact me for live session availability.

I am an experienced and compassionate licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor (LCADC) in New Jersey with over 13 years of experience in the field. When entering college as a young student, I knew I wanted to be in the healing profession. I found social work values to align with my own and I bring those values to the work I do as a therapist. In my time providing psychotherapy, I have worked with both youth and adults. Some of my specialties include but are not limited to stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, family issues, blended family issues, & parenting issues. I utilize CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and holistic approaches, to assist my clients with actualizing their goals in therapy. I truly believe a positive experience with therapy can be transformative and the therapeutic relationship to be at the core of that transformation. In therapy, the client is the expert of their own life. To connect with my clients, I mix compassion, coaching, and a clinical approach best suited for each person's goals. I describe my style as informal and laid-back. I believe therapy doesn’t always have to feel so serious, so I use humor and personal connection to help my clients feel comfortable and understood. Outside of therapy, I enjoy reading, podcasts, and a healthy dose of social media and technology. If you're open to it, I love incorporating these interests as resources in our work together – whether it's a book recommendation, a podcast episode, or a mindfulness app. I look forward to meeting you wherever you are on your journey!

20 years offering treatment
I am licensed in New York and New Jersey with an array of 30+ years of professional work experience. I've facilitated groups at halfway houses, worked in numerous crisis centers and hospitals, advocated and counseled people who have been survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, worked with TBI clients, etc. All of these work endeavors were to seek answers on how best to help people. It is also for this reason that I'm eternally learning new evidence-based approaches to therapy. I hold certifications in trauma, ADHD, nutrition and mental health, grief, integrative sex therapy, DBT, as well as extensive knowledge in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, etc. On a national level, I train other professionals on sexual trauma. All of this education is designed to give you as many tools as possible to help you achieve your goals and alleviate your symptoms starting with the first session. I have learned that around 80% of the strategies I've learned will work for you and about 20% will be unique to you. We'll figure your recipe out together. Life can be wonderful, and I want you living your best life instead of in therapy with me once a week. Of course, we will go at a pace that works for you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.
