Roland Achtau
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC, ICGC-1, CSAT Candidate
Due to the sensitive nature of addiction, it is important to seek help from someone who understands. Having had my own personal recovery experience, I understand and relate to the challenges of maintaining one's recovery. I give specialized attention to each client I serve by treating him or her holistically and offering him or her an umbrella of complimentary services. Recovery is about treating the person, not just the addiction.

Edison is a Middlesex County township named for Thomas Edison, who established his famous Menlo Park laboratory here, and has become home to one of the largest South Asian-American communities in the United States, with a large Indian-American and Indian immigrant population concentrated particularly in the Oak Tree Road corridor, creating a distinctively South Asian cultural character and specific mental health dynamics. The mental health landscape is shaped significantly by the experiences of a highly educated, professional South Asian community navigating intergenerational family expectations, immigration adjustment, mental health stigma within South Asian cultural norms, and the challenges of bicultural identity. A growing number of South Asian mental health practitioners serve the community alongside broader general practice. Common therapy concerns include South Asian family expectations and intergenerational conflict, immigration and acculturation stress, mental health stigma, relationship and marriage pressures, anxiety, and the complex identity navigation of Indian-American and desi identity in suburban New Jersey.
