Licensed Therapy & Counseling Services in New Jersey

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected? You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. The therapists at the Institute for Personal Growth will provide the space for you to be heard, understood, and empowered.

With three New Jersey offices in Jersey City, Highland Park, and Freehold, IPG has 24 trained, NJ-licensed psychotherapists with over 400 combined years of experience in a wide range of specialties and expertise. In addition to traditional therapy for common issues like depression, anxiety, grief, and couples or marriage counseling, we also offer a slew of more specialized types of therapy that most therapists do not.

Among these are therapy for LGBTQ+ issues, including trans/GNC youth, EMDR therapy for trauma/PTSD and other issues, sex therapy for both couples and individuals, therapy for eating disorders, alternative types of therapy, and more.

We work with couples and individuals, children, teens, and families, and our therapists will coordinate with other healthcare professionals when appropriate. We offer flexible times throughout the week, and the sheer number of therapists and specialties at IPG means we can almost certainly find a therapist who meets your needs. We even offer online counseling services if you feel more comfortable making appointments remotely.

    How to Release Trauma from the Body

    Trauma is often thought of as something that lives in our thoughts and memories, but it doesn’t stop there. The truth is, trauma can also be stored in the body, shaping physical sensations, muscle tension, posture, and even the way we respond emotionally to everyday situations.  Long after a stressful or painful experience has passed,…
