Познакомьтесь с нашими терапевтами

Finding a therapist in NJ, NY, or anywhere really, is a personal decision, and it’s okay if it takes some time. You deserve to work with someone who actually feels like a good fit, not just the first name on a list. If the whole process feels confusing or overwhelming, we can help. You can schedule a free 15-minute consultation call with one of our therapists before your first session so you can ask questions, get a feel for their style, and see if it feels right for you.

Our therapists work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and big life changes. We also know that who you are matters in the room—your gender, sexuality, disability, race, ethnicity, and immigration story are all part of you. We’re committed to offering a space where you’re listened to, respected, and actually seen.

Real Talk, Real Listening

We don’t believe in talking down to you or pretending we have all the answers. Instead, our therapists listen—deeply and without judgment. Your story, experiences, and perspective matter, and our therapists are here to understand your unique journey. Our goal is to provide a safe, welcoming space where you can speak openly, knowing you’ll be heard and respected. This is all about honest, trusting connections—because healing begins when you feel truly seen

At TEMA Therapy, our team of licensed psychologists, licensed clinical social workers (LCSW), licensed therapists, and licensed professional counselors (LPCs) is committed to providing exceptional mental health services tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Our dedicated mental health professionals are passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive environment that fosters positive change and personal growth.

Your Treatment Plan Should Be Yours, Not Your Insurance Company's

We only take insurance as out-of-network providers. The reason for this is that we don’t want the insurance to dictate to us what to do in therapy, how much, and how frequently. We, as professionals, feel very strongly that this decision should be between the patient and the doctor or the therapist, without the third party intervening into this process. We have staff members who will work with you around your budget to make it affordable for you and/or for your children to undergo necessary psychological treatment. Because of their licensure requirements, some of our highly qualified junior clinicians currently work under the supervision of the clinical director. The perks of working with one of our junior clinicians, besides the lower cost for services, also include that our junior clinicians get hour-to-hour supervision from the director of the center, who is a licensed PhD psychologist with extensive experience in the mental health field. Hour-to-hour supervision means that, in addition to a session with this particular clinician, two people will put their heads together while puzzling over your case and drafting out ways to approach all of the pertinent issues. If there is a piece of the puzzle that will be better solved by a social worker, because, say, your anxiety stems not only from psychological problems but also from a dire housing situation, the clinician will get an “on a flight” consultation from one of our social workers and will provide you with available resources. So let me use the salesperson cliché here: it is two for the low price of one! Jokes aside, this model of work ensures that our center provides the best possible care for you and for your loved ones in the most cost-effective manner.

Our therapists help you build tools for stress management, self-esteem support, and navigating difficult experiences without judgment. These skills can be especially helpful during life’s challenges or when processing past experiences.

Your first step is an introductory call, followed by your initial therapy session. During this meeting, your therapist will learn more about what brings you in, listen to your concerns, and help you identify your goals.

Whether you prefer person therapy, group therapy, or individual therapy, our group practice is here to support you every step of the way.

Do you accept health insurance? What sort of insurance coverage do you have?

We only take insurance as out-of-network providers. The reason for this is that we don’t want the insurance company to dictate what to do in therapy, how much, or how frequently. We believe these decisions should be made between the patient and the therapist without outside interference. We have staff members who will work with you around your budget to make services accessible.

Some of our highly qualified junior clinicians currently work under the supervision of the clinical director due to licensure requirements. An additional benefit of working with a junior clinician is that your care receives hour-to-hour supervision by a licensed PhD psychologist with extensive experience. This means two professionals collaborate closely to understand your case and plan your care.

If a situation would benefit from input from a social worker, such as when anxiety is connected to housing or financial stress, your clinician can consult internally to provide the most relevant resources. This collaborative model ensures high-quality, cost-effective care for you and your loved ones.
