Treatment for Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety is the hum that never quite goes away. The 3am thoughts. The constant preparing for things to go wrong. The tension in your body you've stopped noticing because it's always there. Depression is the flatness, the exhaustion, the sense that the things that used to matter just don't anymore.
Both are incredibly common. Both are also incredibly treatable, not just managed, but genuinely changed. And both deserve more than a list of breathing exercises and a recommendation to take walks.
I offer therapy for anxiety and depression for adults in Montclair, NJ and across New Jersey and New York via telehealth. My approach goes beyond symptom management. We look at what's driving your anxiety or depression, where it came from, and what it would take to actually shift it at the root.
How I Treat Anxiety and Depression
I use CBT to help you identify and challenge the thought patterns that feed anxiety and depression — the catastrophizing, the self-criticism, the assumptions that have become so automatic you don't even notice them anymore. I use DBT to build real emotional regulation skills that work in the hard moments, not just when things are already calm. And I use trauma-informed approaches when anxiety or depression has roots in past experiences that haven't been addressed.
Every treatment plan is built around you specifically. Not a protocol. Not a worksheet. A real plan for your real life.
Anxiety and Depression Often Overlap and Often Have Roots
Many people come in thinking they have anxiety and discover depression underneath. Or they come in for depression and realize anxiety has been driving it. And very often, both are connected to something older, an experience, a relationship, a way of seeing yourself that was learned a long time ago.
We go there if you're ready. At your pace.
