Long before the Revolutionary War, Little Ferry was the site of a crucial ferry crossing between Hackensack and Bergen. In life, each day brings new experiences that are much like river crossings. The stormy weather of emotional distress and swift currents of a hectic life can make the travel perilous.

Dealing with anger, depression, and anxiety isn’t easy. Trying to stay connected with others at the same time can seem nearly impossible. Getting through each day can seem like a monumental task. Consider talking to a counselor in the Little Ferry area for confidential help and support in your journey.

Hello my name is Robb. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, with over 20 years experience. I have worked with clients with a wide array of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, mid-life crisis, acculturation issues, and men's and young adult issues. I also have experience working with victims of abuse and trauma. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I feel everyone should be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in labeling people and also feel it is important to provide resources and recommendations (books, workbooks,therapeutic assignments etc.), I would describe my approach as eclectic; combing solution focused , cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psycho-dynamic therapy. I'll individualize our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek help and take the first steps in obtaining that help and start making changes. I am here to support and assist you in that process. I look forward to helping you help yourself!

Congratulations on making it here! It is extremely brave to ask for help and you're making a huge first step. My name is Lindsay Lee and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Louisiana and Colorado. My practice has taken me to work with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other violent crime in North Carolina; individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness in Louisiana, young people experiencing trauma and loss in New Orleans schools, military families coping with deployment, professionals struggling with compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress, and most recently providing supervision to new social workers in Colorado. I earned my Master's in Social Work at Tulane University, with a certificate in International Social Work. Over my ten years of practice in social work I have learned that relationships are central to how we function in the world, Our relationships with our family, friends, co-workers, and educators impact the quality of our lives in important ways. This applies to the counseling relationship too. It is critical that we find the right fit and style that feels comfortable for your needs and your life. It would be a privilege to help you on your journey.

Life is too short to let the everyday burdens we face create turmoil, and gain control over our emotions. Our feelings can control us or we can learn to control them. A situation, person, place, or thing only has the power to control our feelings...if we let it. It is our responsibility (and only ours) to control our feelings and behavior. Thus, we can find true contentment and serenity. Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioral therapies are my practice methodologies. I believe a blend of validation and empathetic, compassionate confrontation is the key to helping an individual reach their fullest potential. I believe we all have the ability to change and to cope with change. Believing in my patients and encouraging this behavior has helped me succeed by becoming the agent for this change. I am dually licensed and double board certified in New Jersey with 35years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, PTSD & anger management. Individual, Couples, Marital & Family Counseling have been my venues for the change experience I have described. Best wishes to you in your journey of growth & progress!
