Independence Personal Choice 65 Ppo Therapists in New Jersey

Anxiety doesn't always look like worry on the surface. Sometimes it's a short temper at home, a relationship that feels tenser than close, or a mind that won't slow down even when the day is done. I'm Janna, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey, working with adults and couples carrying more than they say out loud. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or PTSD, or a quiet disconnect between partners, I bring a calm, structured presence to our sessions. My goal early on is simple: help you feel steady enough to think clearly again, whether you're in the room alone or beside someone you love.

You hold it together for everyone — at work, at home, in your relationships — but the weight of it is getting harder to carry. Maybe anxiety keeps your mind racing at 2 a.m., or you're stuck in patterns with substances or behaviors that started as coping but now feel like a trap. Maybe grief, trauma, or a painful chapter you thought you'd moved past keeps surfacing when you least expect it. I'm Rovin Chonielall, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Addiction Specialist with 15 years of experience helping adults find their footing when life feels unmanageable. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and recovery, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that builds up when you've been running on autopilot for too long. My approach is direct, holistic, and grounded in what actually works. I draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you build skills for managing intense emotions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge the thought patterns keeping you stuck, and Motivational Interviewing to help you connect with your own reasons for change — especially when motivation feels low. I also incorporate mindfulness and solution-focused techniques, because sustainable growth happens when you learn to be present with yourself, not just push through. What my clients tell me is that therapy with me feels different — honest without being harsh, structured without being rigid. I'm not going to just nod along. I'll meet you where you are, ask the questions that matter, and help you build a life that actually reflects who you want to be. If you're ready to stop going through the motions and start doing the real work, I'd like to help.

I'm a therapist who believes good therapy starts with feeling comfortable, not like you're sitting across from someone with a clipboard.

That lived experience makes me a better therapist , not just a more empathetic one, but a more real one. I'm the kind of therapist who will laugh with you, be straight with you, and when you're ready, go to the deeper and harder places right alongside you. With experience spanning from early childhood all the way through older adulthood, I've had the privilege of working with people across every stage of life and across a wide range of needs.

I have been in practice for 12+ years as a therapist and have another 10+ years as a case worker and administrator. Outside of my practice, I am married and have two children. I enjoy travel and running and often try to weave an overall concept of fitness=wellness into my work.

I have been counseling in higher education for nearly thirty years and in private practice for over ten years. Thus, my experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals and issues: I counsel clients ranging in age from 16 to 75, from various religions, genders, sexual orientations and ethnicities. I am culturally sensitive and respect diversity. Such exposure has aided me in recognizing the uniqueness in all individuals & understanding we are all the authors and pilots of our own life. A majority of individuals who make the decision to receive counseling, will discover that the answer is within if they give themselves time... My vast counseling experience includes clients/students who experience challenges in the following areas (including, but not limited to): Anxiety, sexuality, self-esteem, relationships, grief, family, illness, etc. My theoretical framework is Person Centered/Solution Focused, via talk therapy, mindfulness, meditation, creative play, eclectic approaches... Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, someone to validate what you're thinking and feeling. Being heard can make a world of difference and oftentimes, sharing your concerns, provides you with the insight to address and resolve your challenges. I can be that listening ear, the one who accompanies you on your journey without judgement and with empathy.
