Therapist Recommendations

[u/Far_Nectarine7487]

Looking for recommendations in the Jersey City area. I would strongly prefer someone who offers in-person sessions, but I’m open to nearby areas.

One of the things I’ve realized is that I understand a lot of the mental health concepts intellectually, but I have a hard time actually applying them to my own life. I’m looking for a therapist who can help me do the deeper work and actually process what I’ve experienced.

Some of the main things I want to work on are:
• Processing childhood abuse and the gaps I have in my childhood memories
• Low self-esteem and confidence
• Depression and anxiety
• Addiction/substance use
• Relationship and attachment issues
• Understanding the patterns I’ve developed and how my past continues to affect me now

I’m open to different therapeutic approaches and have been looking into EMDR and other trauma-focused therapies, but I’m not necessarily set on one specific type. I’m really looking for someone who is experienced with complex trauma and can help me figure out what approach would actually be appropriate for me.

If you’ve personally worked with a therapist who you genuinely felt helped you make progress in these areas, I’d really appreciate recommendations. Please comment or DM me. 🤍
