Adult Psychotherapy

Do you feel like you spend most of your day feeling worried, isolated, or empty? Are you struggling to sleep, focus, or cope with loss or a major life crisis? Adult therapy in Montclair, NJ, can help you feel better and find relief from these challenges.

Many things can impact your functioning and overall life satisfaction as an adult: work, relationships, family, parenting struggles, everyday stress, difficulty managing life changes, and more. These challenges can lead to feelings of hopelessness, sadness, inadequacy, anger, or anxiety.

Our Approach to Adult Therapy in Montclair, NJ

Our approach recognizes that you exist within multiple interconnected systems, considering family, intergenerational, cultural, and societal influences. Thus, we create a personalized therapeutic plan that addresses you as a whole person.

Depending on your unique needs, we combine different therapeutic approaches, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By identifying and changing negative thinking patterns, individuals can experience healthier emotions and behaviors. CBT primarily focuses on the present moment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

With DBT, you learn that two seemingly opposite ideas can both be true. This approach is highly effective in helping individuals recognize nuance, reduce all-or-nothing thinking, and develop healthier ways to process and regulate emotions.

IFS-Informed Therapy

IFS acknowledges that we consist of different “parts.” These parts interact with one another and influence our overall well-being. This approach aims to explore and heal the wounded or burdened parts of yourself, rather than reducing or eliminating them.

EMDR

EMDR is highly effective for trauma and PTSD, as well as anxiety, stress, and other emotional challenges. Through bilateral stimulation, often guided eye movements, it activates the brain’s natural healing process and supports the formation of new, healthier associations.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting combines mindfulness, body awareness, and eye-movement techniques to help access and process deep-seated emotions and memories. This approach taps into the brain’s natural ability to heal from trauma, emotional pain, and other psychological issues.

We also integrate Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Mindfulness whenever they’re most beneficial in supporting your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

The effectiveness of any approach largely depends on each individual’s concerns and needs. However, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is considered one of the most effective treatments for conditions such as anxiety and depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is also highly effective for a range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Both CBT and EMDR are considered gold-standard treatments, highly effective for different conditions.

However, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The key is finding what best fits your individual needs. Your therapist will work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique circumstances.

It may be time to consider therapy if you’re experiencing ongoing changes in your mood or behavior that interfere with daily life. You might be struggling at work, in your relationships, with sleep, or coping with trauma or grief.

Therapy is also valuable even when you’re not in crisis. It can support personal growth and help you prepare for life changes.

Sometimes people hesitate to seek professional support because of past experiences or stories they’ve heard about therapists who weren’t a good fit. Red flags can include poor listening, lack of empathy, unclear boundaries, or unprofessional or unethical behavior.

Working with a properly trained, qualified, and experienced therapist can make a meaningful difference in your therapeutic journey. At Evolve Psychological Services, our team upholds high-quality standards, providing a supportive and professional environment for your growth.

To get the most out of therapy, it’s important not to lie or intentionally withhold relevant information from your therapist. That said, you still have the right to privacy and don’t have to share anything you’re not ready to discuss.

However, we recommend that you provide information relevant to the issues you’re seeking help with, so your path to healing is open and guided by honesty.
