Therapists Beginning With I in New Jersey

I am a licensed clinical social worker who uses a holistic approach to improve the mental, emotional and behavioral well-being of my clients. I work with individuals ranging from teenagers to adults who are seeking help with addiction, men's issues, anxiety, depression and more. My personal and professional experiences have afforded me the ability to connect with and treat individuals from all backgrounds.

Hi! I am Dr. Jessica Iacono, a licensed psychologist in New Jersey. I work with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, and general life concerns. My approach to therapy is warm, accepting, and nonjudgmental. I hope to create a space where my client feels comfortable making the session their own. This includes setting agendas based on the client's goals for therapy, which we can explore together.

I am currently a student at the College of New Jersey seeking a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling with ambitions. As your counselor, we work together in the helping relationship model to improve your quality of life by improving your relationship with yourself and the world around you. I believe a holistic approach to counseling provides a deeper understanding of the whole person. In session, I use several psychotherapeutic techniques based on various theoretical approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and skills based in mindfulness and play therapy.

I have over 8 years of dedicated experience in supporting diverse populations through various life challenges. I have skillfully assisted clients in navigating a variety of psychological challenges, helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger management, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, and suicidality/self-injurious behaviors.

I provide person-centered therapy that focuses on your specific needs. I strive to provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable to share your thoughts and feelings. I believe in working collaboratively with you, as it is your journey. Together we can identify strengths and strategies to help you reach your wellness goals. I utilize an array of therapeutic interventions depending on your individualized need.

My approach to treatment is collaborative; I believe people are experts on themselves, and my role is to create a healing space that allows you to develop the tools needed to cultivate adequate coping resources. I emphasize building healthy relationships with the self, and others as a path to wellness. My style strikes a balance between providing empathy, and warmth when needed, and accountability and structure when appropriate. I am also committed to treating the whole person, and incorporate social context, and power dynamics into my conceptualization, and interventions. I look forward to our work together.

There are times in life where people will seek counseling because they feel disconnected in their relationships, are struggling with difficult situations and emotions, or long to live a life that feels meaningful, satisfying and authentic. Counseling can help you navigate through this transformative time in your life. I am prepared to help you navigate through this transformation. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and humanistic focusing on offering my clients unconditional positive regard, compassion, and a good sense of humor when appropriate.

Many individuals find themselves in situations where they are confused and unsure of what to do. When this happens, I am here for you. Working with individuals and couples, I will help provide the cognitive tools necessary to be able to make healthy, intelligent decisions that will greatly improve your quality of life. You are always assured an empathetic ear, non-judgmental attitude and skillful service to help decrease or eliminate the difficulties that daily living sometimes provides.

Life can leave you feeling lonely, anxious, and depressed. But you don’t need to stay there. I invite you to inquire within. It's time to reconnect with the wisdom within you. Your body carries information that you haven't tapped into or perhaps don't yet have access to. I'm here to help you realize that the answers are already there. We might just need to shine some light on the shadows (things that have been to hard to look at). Acknowledging and integrating those parts that have been ignored or tucked away can lead to more authentic ways of showing up in your relationships with yourself, with others, and with the planet.

Feeling disconnected and stressed? I get it. With everything on your plate, you want to feel satisfied and purposeful personally and professionally. You need guidance to find that balance. I can help. My therapy sessions offer personalized strategies to reconnect emotionally, manage stress, and build healthier relationships. Together, we'll tackle these challenges and find true fulfillment. Reach out today to start your journey. You deserve to feel whole and content at work and home without compromising yourself. You are tired of sacrificing your life, and you are ready to do something about it this time.

Are you struggling to regain your equilibrium after months of unprecedented challenge, stress, and loss? Perhaps you are feeling depressed, isolated, fearful, or just overwhelmed? Have you lost your sense of self? Has your health suffered? Have your relationships with friends, family or significant others worsened or become unmanageable? Are you doing "ok" but wonder if there's a better version of your life you could be living? If so, it may be time to look more deeply into yourself and find new ways to move forward. I can help you to live more insightfully, create better balance, reduce distress, and uncover your path to wellness.

My ideal client is someone who feels ready to commit to themselves. Ready to open up to possibilities. Ready to embrace change. My goal is to partner with you and work together to achieve your goals. I will work hard to help you, my hope is that you will too, so that we can work collaboratively, address the changes that you want to see happen in your life and help shape realistic and attainable goals. I have been working with children, families and young adults for over twenty-five years. I can offer you a warm, caring and supportive setting.

Many of my clients feel stuck or have reached an impasse in their lives that they have not yet been able to find a way around. Many feel frustrated, or even doubt that it will get better. Many are feeling overwhelmed with chronic stress, feel exhausted, and keep pushing themselves to pull through. Many, understandably feel they have to do it themselves and know of no other way of being. I find working with these strong individuals to be the most rewarding, as I feel honored to witness their meaningful process unfold.

I believe in a client-centered approach, combining holistic and evidence based modalities tailored to each individual. Recognizing that people are equal parts nature, nurture and the surroundings in which they live is a priority of mine, as no two people endure the same sets of circumstances. Moving forward consists of recognizing where a person is at that time, as well as crafting the space to assist them on the path to where they would like to be in order to have a better quality of life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and have extensive experience working in different capacities throughout the mental health field.

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, art therapy, feminist therapy, multicultural, and trauma-informed interventions to support and empower clients toward increased self-awareness and healthy coping skills.

I am a somatic-based therapist whose work is rooted in bridging the mind and body. Many come to me for an approach that is not just trauma-informed, but one that also fosters the development of self-awareness and self-compassion when applying new insights. While childhood trauma is my speciality, I enjoy working with teens, highly sensitive individuals, creatives, spiritual aspirants, neurodivergent beings, and those in the LGBTQIA+ community. I am passionate about using the rhythms of the natural world alongside plant medicine, and assist individuals with integrating their experiences for their development and transformation.

Early life experiences profoundly determine how we relate to ourselves and others long into adulthood. “Am I enough? Am I inherently broken? Am I real?” All of our stories begin the same way: as children seeking care, safety, and stability. Our greatest influences on our sense of self come first through our relationships with primary caregivers and then through others. Often suffering doesn’t start with us but is a cycle that is passed down. Our families at best not having these resources for themselves, and at worst passing onto us trauma that becomes an internalized part of our selves and our relationship patterns.
