Psychotherapy for Adolescents, Adults and Couples

Welcome.  

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing psychotherapy and consultation services in Manhattan and Maplewood, NJ.  My approach is geared towards helping you quickly alleviate high impact issues while identifying and addressing any underlying causes of emotional distress and internal blocks.  I work from an integrative framework that I adapt based on your specific challenges, goals, personality and past efforts towards healing and growth.  Psychotherapy can be a challenging process, but laughter is often a critical component.    

My work is guided by a belief that people have an innate drive towards happiness and an intuitive, unconscious sense of how to bring this to fruition.  This inner wisdom can often be stifled and suppressed by various aspects of ones experience, upbringing and psycho-neurological makeup.  A large part of my role is to provide a dedicated space and relational experience that helps to bring this internal guide forward.  I have a fairly interactive style; I'm directive when helpful but experienced enough to know when to stay out of the way.  

I offer an initial phone consultation at no charge to discuss your specific issues and answer any questions you have about my approach or the process of therapy in general.  Contact me via phone (646.504.2873) or email (jon@drjonbelford.com) to set up a time a time to speak.
