I have a Masters and Bachelors in Social Work and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey. My experience over the past 20 years has been in a variety of mental health settings. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well as several other modalities. I have worked with individuals with Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar and many other issues. Therapy can be intimidating and opening up to stranger can be difficult, which is why I feel that building trust from the beginning is important. I will take the time to listen, and treat you with respect while at the same time challenge you to help you achieve your goals. I really enjoy helping people and I hope I can help you.

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.

My name is Keith Breiman and I've provided individual, family, and couples counseling for over three decades in private practice and in a variety of organizational settings. My earliest training was in Gestalt Therapy which both educated and heightened my cognitive, emotional, and affective sensitivity enabling me to be in the present moment with you. Since those early days, I've had extensive training and experience with other orientations (psychodynamic, cognitive behavior ...) and have incorporated how I practice from all of them, as well as from each client, couple, and family. I've learned that each therapeutic relationship brings a client(s) with a unique blend of strengths, problematic habits, blind spots, and individually-specific needs that are not being addressed successfully. My experience is that when treatment works, these areas are gradually and sensitively uncovered, and in that process, we will first work together as a team to provide you with a better understanding of your challenges and, then, collectively, create appropriate strategies to address them.

I work specifically with young adults (college age and 20-somethings) through various life changes and transitions, that include relationships and social issues, academic stress, and significant life changes like new jobs or location changes. Significant change is a normal part of young adulthood, but it can be a stressful and confusing time. I've also worked extensively with a range of psychiatric issues. We will partner together each session to help you feel heard and supported, to explore practical solutions to make you feel more in control of your situation and to build cognitive skills that will increase your ability to feel calmer and to think more clearly. Sessions on this platform will be in a solution-oriented format, meaning they are shorter in duration. each session will be 40 minutes long.

24 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of New Jersey for 24 years and have helped Individuals identify and overcome their problems and conflicts, and move ahead in their lives. Some of the problems I have helped clients overcome are anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work related challenges and emotional abuse. I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, Gestalt Therapy and psychodynamic therapy. While practicing privately, I have also worked in hospitals, Community Mental Health Centers and Employee Assistance Programs. Through the latter experiences, I learned how to help clients succeed in their organizations, such as by managing difficult people, by identifying their strengths and challenging areas, and by motivating themselves to do their best. I am a warm, caring individual by nature, and this helps me empathize with clients. Also I gently confront people about their blind spots, that may be getting in their way. I believe firmly in the right of each person to define what is best for them and their families, so I like to help clients identify realistic goals and objectives, based upon their needs and their skills. In closing, I consistently remind myself, that I am helping clients to work toward a better future based on what they need and want.
