New to Grow
My name is Eden Richman, I am a licensed clinical social worker based in Ewing, New Jersey, who specializes in providing comprehensive support to individuals at various stages of life, with a keen awareness of the challenges associated with significant life transitions. I am committed to supporting clients during pivotal moments in their lives. I can assist you to skillfully address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt; addictions; and foster a therapeutic environment that promotes healing and personal growth.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, you can expect a real conversation, not an interrogation or a clipboard routine. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in, what you’ve been carrying, and what you want to see change, but we move at your pace and stay focused on what feels most pressing. By the end of our first session, you’ll have a clearer sense of what’s going on beneath the surface, what our work will look like, and a few concrete steps you can start using right away.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidence-based method that emphasizes unraveling the interconnections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My goal is to empower clients to make specific changes by fostering an understanding of their physical reactions to external stressors. Through this process, I assist clients in problem-solving and to cultivate strategies for introducing moments of calm, enabling my clients to choose intentional responses in the face of change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m a strong fit for people who are going through major life transitions, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or trying to rebuild after trauma or toxic relationships. I work well with clients who want honesty, clarity, and practical tools—not sugar-coating or vague advice. If you’re motivated to understand yourself more deeply, ready to break old patterns, and want a therapist who will challenge you while staying steady and grounded. In initiating work with a new client, my priority is to establish an environment where the client feels safe, heard, and viewed as an equal partner in the therapeutic journey. Leveraging my experience as a seasoned telehealth provider, I can provide the convenience of in person or remote sessions, making therapy a seamlessly integrated aspect of one's self-care routine.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients see the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. We identify the patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or self-doubt, then challenge the ones that no longer serve them. The goal is to build new habits that make life feel more manageable and grounded.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT gives my clients tools to handle intense emotions without spiraling. We work on distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and communication skills so they can respond instead of react. Over time, they learn how to stay steady even when life feels chaotic.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In solution-focused work, I highlight what’s already working and build from there. Clients learn how to shift their attention from the problem to their strengths and possibilities. It’s a forward-moving approach that creates momentum and real, visible change.
