Individual Therapy in NJ — Support for Anxiety, Depression & Life Transitions

No pressure. No obligation. Confidential.
You Don’t Have to Navigate This Alone
Maplewood Counseling has been supporting NJ individuals for over two decades — not just couples. Many of our clients come to us seeking help with their own growth, healing, or clarity, completely independent of any relationship.
Do any of these feel familiar?
- Anxiety that won’t let go — racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, constant worry about what’s next.
- Sadness or depression — weighed down, foggy, stuck, or just not yourself.
- Trauma you haven’t fully processed — recent or long ago, still shaping how you move through life.
- A major life transition — career shift, divorce, move, loss, new parenthood, empty nest, retirement.
- Grief & loss — the kind that doesn’t follow a timeline.
- Health challenges — chronic illness, diagnosis, or caring for someone who’s sick.
- Identity & purpose questions — who am I, what do I want, where am I going.
- Relationship patterns — even attending alone, understanding why the same dynamics keep showing up.
- ADHD, executive function, focus struggles — especially in adults realizing later in life.

How We Approach Individual Therapy
There’s no single “Maplewood method.” Each clinician brings their own training — CBT, mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, attachment-based, IFS, and more. What we share is how we work:
Real conversation, not therapy theater
You won’t hear “mm-hmm” for 50 minutes. You’ll get someone who engages, asks honest questions, and tells you what they’re seeing — with care, but without dancing around the truth.
Sessions designed for depth, not throughput
We work out-of-network so we can do the work without insurance company restrictions on session length, frequency, or approach. That means longer sessions, more flexibility, and more attention to what you actually need.
Holistic perspective
Because our clinicians are trained to see the whole picture, we understand that anxiety, depression, and trauma don’t exist in isolation. By addressing your individual challenges, other areas of life often start improving too.
Inclusive & affirming
We welcome adults from all walks of life — LGBTQ+, BIPOC, multicultural, neurodivergent, all faiths and none. Your identity and experiences belong in the room.
Our Team of Licensed NJ Clinicians
Every individual deserves a therapist who fits. Our team of six licensed clinicians brings different specialties, styles, and life experiences — so when you reach out, we match you with the right person.
All our clinicians work with individuals. Specialty focus varies — anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, health challenges, life transitions, identity work, young adults.
Insurance & Fees
We are an out-of-network provider. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits that reimburse a portion of each session.
We provide a detailed superbill after each session that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement. We recommend calling your insurance to ask about your specific out-of-network mental health coverage before starting.
Why out-of-network? Working out-of-network lets us offer the kind of focused, personalized care insurance panels often don’t support — longer sessions, fewer admin demands, and therapists who chose this practice for the quality of work, not the contract.
Session fees vary by clinician and session type. The free 15-minute consultation is the easiest way to ask about fees and confirm fit before booking.
What Individual Therapy Clients Say
★★★★★
“I originally thought Maplewood was just for couples, but I reached out for help with my own anxiety. It was the best decision I’ve made. Therapy helped me finally break free from anxious cycles that kept me up at night.”
— A.S.
★★★★★
“Therapy helped me find clarity and confidence during a major career transition. I now feel more grounded and capable of handling life’s challenges, and I’ve learned how to be kinder to myself in the process.”
— J.M.
★★★★★
“Facing a chronic illness left me feeling defeated. Through individual therapy, I found new ways to manage my emotions and advocate for myself. I didn’t realize how much I needed a space just for me.”
— K.P.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network mental health benefits that reimburse a portion of each session. We provide a detailed superbill you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
Do you offer telehealth or virtual therapy?
Yes. All our clinicians offer telehealth sessions for clients across New Jersey. In-person sessions are available at our Maplewood office at 169 Maplewood Ave #4.
How long does individual therapy take?
It depends on what you’re working on. Some clients come for focused, short-term work (8–12 sessions). Others stay for ongoing support over months or years. We’ll talk about pace and pacing as we go.
How do I know which therapist is right for me?
You don’t have to figure it out alone. Book a free 15-minute phone consultation, and we’ll talk through what you’re looking for and match you with the clinician on our team who fits best.
What if I’ve never been in therapy before?
Many of our individual clients are first-time therapy seekers. The first session is mostly listening — your therapist asks about what brought you in and what you’re hoping might be different. No assignments, no rapid diagnoses, no pressure.
What ages do you work with?
Our practice works with adolescents (16+) and adults of all ages. We do not currently provide therapy for young children.
Can therapy really help with anxiety and depression?
Yes. Research consistently shows therapy is effective for both, often as effective as medication for mild-to-moderate cases — and often more durable long-term. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches including CBT, mindfulness-based therapy, and trauma-informed care.
Are you LGBTQ+ affirming?
Yes. All our clinicians are LGBTQ+ affirming. We work with gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, non-binary, and polyamorous clients with the same care and depth as any other client.
