Not the Freudian, stiff type of therapy. But the evidence-based, gentle and modern approach tailored to you.

Individual, group and family therapy for the modern lifestyle.

Sonia M. Alves, LCSW

 I believe that each person already has in them the natural desire to grow, and that is what therapy with me is all about: personal growth.

  • Hi! I am so happy you are here. I am Sonia Alves, a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Bergen County, New Jersey. My mission is to provide compassionate and evidence-based mental health services tailored to each individual, family and group that I have the privilege and pleasure of working with.

    I focus on core emotional experience and pull in other methods depending on my clients’ goals. Some of the tools I have expertise in include EMDR, meditation and mindfulness, emotion focused exercises, somatic therapies, DBT, CBT, as well as others.

    My specialties include working with adults and adolescents facing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, co-dependency, PTSD and trauma.

The subject of mental health and wellbeing are vital when our desire is to live healthy and balanced lives. Therefore, I find it thrilling that mental health has become an important topic of discussion and discovery not just for a very select few, but for anyone who is willing to invest time and make a commitment towards their pursuit of happiness!
