Therapists in New Jersey

For over a decade, I've immersed myself in the realm of mental health care, where I meet my clients in the place they are in their emotional/psychological struggles. I am passionate about making a lasting positive impact in each and every client's life. To that end, I obtained a bachelor's, a master’s and a doctorate degrees in psychology. My therapeutic approach is as diverse as the stories I encounter, tailored to resonate with each person’s unique journey.

Hi, I’m Jessica Troxler ~ I believe that it’s important to not overshare with clients and at the same time share a little about myself to start building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I began my professional career as a biology major and decided to switch to psychology. Regardless of my major, I knew that I always wanted to be in a helping profession and to make a positive difference in other people’s lives. I have been in the mental health field for over 7 years. I received my Master’s in Clinical Social Work with a specialization in addiction counseling from Rutgers University in 2019. In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, brazilian jiu jitsu, spending time with friends and family, skiing, traveling, and going to concerts. I’ve had the honor of helping clients through various life struggles, such as, navigating the aftermath of divorce or breakups, addiction, eating disorders, ADHD, schizophrenia, homelessness, anxiety, and depression. I’ve also worked in a variety of settings such as, inpatient mental health facilities, detox centers, and in-home therapy working with families and children. You name it, I’ve probably helped someone through almost every issue that someone can go through in life. I will also offer appropriate referrals if I don’t believe that I can confidently address your specific needs. I utilize different evidenced based practices, such as, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution focused therapy, and gottman method couples therapy.

Do you feel unseen? Misunderstood? Lonely? And ready to do the inner work of healing from your past? Then I am here and ready to support your journey. I am passionate about working with women and teenagers.

I welcome my clients into a safe, supportive and compassionate space. I offer a listening ear and a loving heart. We journey together to find the techniques in my toolbox that work best to empower you and support your healing that comes from within.

Do you ever find yourself wondering, “Why am I not myself anymore?” You may look like you’re holding everything together on the outside while feeling completely different on the inside. Maybe you overthink conversations, second-guess yourself, feel anxious all the time, or live in survival mode. This can happen after unhealthy relationships, especially when there has been manipulation, control, constant criticism, or emotional invalidation. Over time, those experiences can affect how you see yourself, your decisions, and your ability to trust your own instincts. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who understands how complicated these relationships can be—because it can feel like nobody else understands the struggle. My name is Lisa Duncan, LCSW, and I do. I have a particular interest in helping people recover from emotionally unhealthy, manipulative, or abusive relationships, including experiences commonly described as narcissistic abuse. Let's figure out what *you* actually want and need. I also work with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and major life changes. My approach is empathetic, practical, and collaborative. Therapy with me is a conversation. We’ll talk about what’s happening, look for patterns, make connections, and sometimes challenge the way you’re looking at a situation. I’ll give you tools and strategies you can actually use in your everyday life. I use CBT, strengths-based, solution-focused, person-centered, and trauma-informed approaches, but I don’t believe therapy should feel like following a script. We can work on understanding why you responded the way you did, recognizing patterns that may have developed as a way of coping, rebuilding trust in yourself, and learning how to set boundaries without feeling guilty or constantly wondering if you’re doing something wrong. You don’t have to come to therapy knowing exactly what you need. You may just know that something isn’t working anymore. That’s enough to start.

This diverse experience allows me to support clients with a wide range of concerns, from everyday stress and emotional overwhelm to more complex life challenges and transitions.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, respected, and understood. Therapy is a collaborative process, and together we will identify your goals and work at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.

Rather than adding pressure, we will focus on practices that genuinely support your mental and emotional well being. Therapy is not about changing who you are, but about strengthening your ability to cope, increasing confidence, and reconnecting with your values. You do not need to have everything figured out to begin. If you are seeking support, clarity, and lasting growth, I would be honored to work with you.
