JESSICA VICARI, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey

Everyone strives to feel “normal”, however in today’s ever changing world, what is “normal”?
In my therapeutic practice, I work with individuals, couples, & families to break free of this desire to be normal and become the best versions of themselves.
We all suffer from some level of anxiety, trauma, depression, internal conflict, anger. The goal in therapy is to allow yourself to feel how you feel, while still in control of your life.

A BIT ABOUT THERAPY

According to the American Psychological Association, “Psychologists help people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.”
There are so many stigmas associated with seeking mental health help, but those walls are slowly being broken down to bring enlightenment to those who truly wish to obtain assistance.
Therapy is not an answer to problems. A therapist will not tell you how to live your life. The therapeutic practice allows you to navigate through difficult times with a friendly face holding your hand, judgement free.
