Jeffrey Thoelen, LCSW

Hello! I am Jeffrey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey with over 8 years of experience in providing psychotherapy services. My passion lies in helping individuals across all ages and stages of life, but I am particularly dedicated to working with young adults and adolescents. My focus is on assisting those who are navigating decision-making, life transitions, and specific stressors or phobias.

In my practice, I specialize in mental health and psychotherapy, treating a variety of conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, insomnia, mood disorders, panic attacks, counseling, and grief and loss. I also have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with chronic illness and health anxiety.

My approach to therapy is a collaborative partnership. I work primarily with adults and adolescents through various life changes and transitions, such as relationships, social issues, academic stress, and significant life events like new jobs or relocations. Additionally, I have worked extensively with psychiatric issues such as phobias and OCD, providing significant support to those recently diagnosed with chronic illnesses or experiencing health anxiety.

Each session, I aim to create a space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we will explore practical solutions to help you feel more in control of your situation and build cognitive skills that will increase your ability to feel calmer and think more clearly. I believe therapy is a teamwork exercise where you are the expert on yourself, and I am here to help you check your blind spots and challenge yourself to new levels of wellness and acceptance.
