THERAPY FOR ADULTS IN NJ & CT
It’s time you take care of you.
Therapy for adults dealing with anxiety, obsessive thinking,
perfectionism, stress, and the pressure to keep everything together.
You’re Used to Holding it All Together
Maybe you’re the person everyone counts on. You get things done, show up for other people, and keep moving even when you're exhausted.
But lately, the worry is harder to quiet. You’re overthinking conversations, second-guessing yourself, putting your own needs last, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't seem to turn off.
You may not even remember the last time you felt balanced and at ease.
Maybe you're navigating a major life change, struggling with perfectionism or people pleasing, or dealing with unwanted thoughts that keep pulling you back into anxiety.
You don't have to keep figuring it all out on your own.
Therapy offers a safe space to explore, respond differently, and heal.
You're working with someone who has clinical training to help you understand patterns, assess what's happening, and actively work with you toward meaningful change.
I specialize in working with adults and young adults who are high functioning on the outside but exhausted by everything happening on the inside.
You will receive support for: Anxiety, Panic, Chronic Stress, OCD, Depression, Life Transitions, Self Esteem, and navigating relationship dynamics so you can start living with more clarity and confidence.
Hi, I’m Lisa.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the therapist behind Taking Care Therapy. I work with women and younger adults who are tired of anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and keeping their feelings under wraps. This includes professionals, students, mothers, and single adults who are looking to interrupt old patterns.
If this sounds like you or someone you love, I’d love to chat further.
My style is warm, straightforward, and collaborative. I want therapy to feel like a place where you can be honest about what's happening and also figure out how you want to move differently.
We aren’t doing surface level advice or quick fixes here. You’re looking for genuine connection that makes you feel deeply supported and seen.
You’ve come to the right place.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. A free 15-minute consultation gives us a chance to talk about what you're looking for, answer your questions, and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
The Taking Care Approach
Many of the ambitious clients I work with spend so much time caring for others or about others that their own needs come last. They’re used to being responsible, capable, and dependable, even when they're running on empty. It’s overwhelming and emotionally exhausting, and it results in feeling disconnected from yourself and those around you.
Taking Care Therapy provides therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, chronic stress, perfectionism, and overthinking throughout Bergen County and virtually across New Jersey. Telehealth sessions are also offered for Connecticut residents.
Taking Care of yourself is not selfish — it’s responsible.
Therapy with me is more than having someone to talk to. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring clinical training and experience to help you understand the patterns behind what you're experiencing, figure out what's keeping you stuck, and work together toward meaningful change.
My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. Depending on what you're working through, I draw from evidence-informed approaches such as CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. We'll focus on what actually makes sense for you.
You don't have to choose between therapy that feels supportive and therapy that helps you make real changes. You deserve both.
In-person therapy is available in Cresskill, NJ, with telehealth available throughout New Jersey or Connecticut!
