Individual Counseling for Adults

Individual Therapy

At the Integrative Therapy Institute we recognize that people come to therapy because they are unhappy and, as such, we see it as our job to help them find a pathway to happiness.  Feeling stuck and alone with our problems makes it difficult to find solutions. Our committed and experienced clinicians work with their clients to help them overcome barriers to their happiness and find the support and strategies needed to make the life changes they are looking to make.

Some of the concerns that we commonly see in adults include, but are not limited to:

  • anxiety
  • depression
  • feeling overwhelmed
  • excessive stress
  • grief/loss
  • panic attacks
  • trauma
  • relationship issues
  • difficulties managing conflict
  • low self-esteem/confidence
  • desire for personal growth

In our work with adults, we strive to meet the needs that everyone has for validation and support while helping them to expand their self-awareness and the range of skills they employ to work out solutions to problems they face in life.

Our experienced and caring clinicians at ITI-NJ understand that every individual has unique needs and we work closely with our adult clients to find the therapeutic approach that best promotes their growth and healing. In addition to in-person counseling, the Integrative Therapy Institute of New Jersey offers secure, confidential teletherapy sessions to support your well-being, wherever you are in New Jersey.
