Hala Ghanem

My mission has always been to help my clients live their lives more fully by shedding their past, re-wiring their brain and connecting to the present. I believe in going at a pace you are comfortable with whether you are looking for short term solution focused therapy or long-term therapy.

From a young age I knew I wanted to help others. I first started my journey through becoming a yoga and meditation teacher, opened my first holistic center at 23, and another Yoga studio 7 years later. My experience in dealing with the mind and the body has also led me to become a psychotherapist in Beirut, Lebanon in my 20s and then again in New Jersey in my 40s.

...

My approach is evidence based and always client centered. I meet the client where they are today in their story and I guide them through both bottom up and top-down approaches depending on what is available to them. I understand the ins and outs of the body through breath work, movement and mindfulness as well as the ins and outs of the mind through cognitive restructuring, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. I am a trauma informed therapist with extensive experience in addiction, eating disorders, anxiety and depression utilizing both individual and family therapy.

Together we will formulate a treatment plan on your first appointment that incorporates your goals. You will leave the session with a clear path on what we will be working on together.
