Lifespan Associates, located in Ridgewood, NJ, is a group practice
dedicated to helping individuals develop the skills to resolve interpersonal
and psychological issues. Life presents challenges at all stages and
may require the modification of coping strategies, particularly during
transitional periods. Our mission is to promote wellness and to help
individuals gather the resources necessary to become more satisfied
with their lives.
We specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy for
adults, adolescents, and children. This type of therapy is action-oriented,
solution-focused, and often of shorter duration than more traditional
types of therapy. Individuals learn how to modify thoughts and behaviors
that may be interfering with their psychological health and well being.
Our clients are actively involved in setting treatment goals and evaluating
the effectiveness of the therapy experience.
We are well versed in
many aspects of psychological adjustment including anxiety, phobias,
depression, social and relational difficulties, medical illness, child
and adolescent behavioral management, job related issues, and general
stress reduction. In addition, each of us has specialty training in
health psychology and pediatrics, including pain and symptom management,
sports psychology, procedural anxiety, bereavement, and adjustment
to illness. We are particularly sensitive to women's issues, including
pre- and postpartum concerns, fertility challenges, time and family
management and transitional health issues throughout the lifespan.
