Welcome to Riverside Therapy,
I’m glad you are here!
This process can feel daunting, and as your therapist, I want to ensure you feel comfortable, supported and heard. One key component to successful treatment is a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. Together, we will explore how your life experiences drive your current thoughts, feelings and behaviors. By gaining insight and awareness into yourself in a non-judgmental environment, we can identify what changes you hope to make in your life.
My background includes extensive work with children and families who have experienced trauma. Therapeutically, I utilize a psychodynamic and strengths-based approach to assist you in facilitating positive change in your life. My goal is to help you feel empowered to reach your full potential, while learning how to successfully navigate life’s challenges.
I am licensed in both New York and New Jersey, and offer both in-person and telehealth appointments. In addition to my private practice, I also work with individuals and families that are clients of Cranford Family Care, providing pro bono counseling sessions.
My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, parenting and trauma.
Rachel Hajjar, LCSW
Services
-
The first step in our work together is a free consultation. During this call, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and your payment options. Together we will determine if we are a good fit for one another. Finding the right therapist is an integral step in the journey; I tailor our sessions to your needs.
While my work is primarily long-term and informed by psychodynamic and attachment theories, I also recognize the value of short-term treatment when it is appropriate and beneficial.
-
During a parent consultation, I will work collaboratively with the caregiver to support your child’s emotional development, support any behavioral concerns and discuss various parenting strategies.
Payment
Payment is due at the end of each session and can be made via debit card, credit card, Venmo or Zelle.
Sliding scale is available and can be discussed during the initial consultation call.
Riverside Therapy is an out-of-network provider and therefore does not accept insurance. At the end of each month, a superbill can be provided to each client. I can assist you to learn the process of submitting this superbill to your insurance provider for any out-of-network reimbursement.
