Expert-Guided Couples, Family & Individual Therapy in NJ
Senior-led NJ specialty practice — 20+ years helping couples, families, and individuals through what matters. In-person Maplewood or telehealth statewide.
Specialty Care You Can’t Get at a Generalist Practice
Most therapy practices are generalists — they see everyone, do everything, and provide solid foundational care. Maplewood Counseling is different. We’re a senior-led specialty practice where every clinician on our team has focused training in specific complex modalities — Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based work, expert-guided family work, and trauma-informed couples and family work.
When you book with us, you’re not getting matched to “any available therapist.” You’re matched to the senior clinician whose practice focus aligns with what you’re navigating. That precision is why our couples therapy, family therapy, infidelity recovery, and premarital counseling pages rank as top specialty work in NJ.

Why Maplewood Counseling
Senior-led specialty
Every clinician on our team is matched to clients whose situation is squarely in their practice focus — not assigned randomly.
Evidence-based modalities
EFT, attachment-based, expert-guided family work. Modalities chosen based on what works, not what insurance pays for.
60-minute sessions standard
Not the rushed 45-minute insurance standard. Plus 90-minute intensives for couples and families in active work.
Out-of-network by design
We provide a superbill for insurance reimbursement (typically 50-80% with out-of-network plans). HSA, FSA, HRA accepted.
Open 7 days a week
Including evenings and weekends. We schedule around real life — jobs, family obligations, school nights — not 9 to 5.
Inclusive and identity-affirming
LGBTQ+ affirming, multicultural, interfaith. We hold the complexity of real people’s lives with care and expertise.
Individual & LGBTQ+ Counseling Too
Beyond couples and families, we also provide specialty individual therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, grief, and personal growth. And we’re an affirming LGBTQ+ practice — couples, families, and individuals welcome. Learn about individual therapy → or LGBTQ+ counseling →.
