Common Misconceptions About Therapy
“I just need to toughen up.”
This mindset traps you in a cycle of stress and unhappiness, making it hard to see a path to healing.
“I’ll read a book on communication.”
While self-education is valuable, it often lacks the actionable steps needed for real change, which therapy can provide.
“I need to change my external circumstances.”
Focusing solely on external changes overlooks the internal sources of pain. Therapy addresses these root causes for lasting happiness.
At My Quiet Place, we offer a safe space to explore your issues and develop personalized strategies for healing, moving at your own pace.

You are the expert on your own life. Our role is to support you, ask deeper questions, and guide you toward meaningful change.

Our therapists blend techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness/meditation, and psychoanalytic practices.
We welcome everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, body type, religion, or level of need. We cherish our New Jerseyans, New Yorkers, and anyone who comes to us, treating you like family every step of the way.
Psychotherapy For The Mind
Eckhart Tolle said,
“Just as dogs love to chew bones, the mind loves to dig its teeth into problems.”
Our minds constantly evaluate and solve problems, making past events and negative thoughts pervasive. At My Quiet Place, our expert therapists help you quiet this mental chatter by identifying the root causes of your struggles and creating an actionable plan for healing.
