therapist: Barbara Gelfand,
In-Person in Highland Park, NJ 08904
We all have a desire to be heard, to be understood, and to be soothed. We often yearn for more satisfying and loving relationships. In therapy, I will listen carefully to you as we sort through obstacles that may be preventing you from experiencing greater ease and happiness. I will bear witness to your life stories, acknowledge your successes and struggles, and help you to find renewed resilience, acceptance and change. I'm patient and open-minded, and provide an empathic therapy space. I believe true healing occurs when we take care of our whole self in mind, body and spirit.

Barbara Gelfand Practice Description
My approach to health and wellness incorporates psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, somatic and mindfulness-based therapies. Together these methods lead to a deeper understanding of the mind/body connection. They foster self-awareness, and increase self-esteem and confidence.I have 30 years of experience as a clinical social worker and my experience has taught me that the story always unfolds and things can get better. I provide both short-term and more intensive psychotherapy tailored to the needs of each client.
