Joy Przywara

You can achieve happiness and joy in your life. Even though life brings stress, challenges, change, and struggle, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a safe, supportive space where healing and wellness begin through warm, compassionate conversation. We will work collaboratively to set meaningful goals and move toward what you would like to accomplish in therapy. I truly believe in your capacity for growth and change.

I am a Nurtured Heart Approach® Train the Trainer and am trained in mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I have completed the Rutgers & Montclair Trauma Certification. While these evidence-based approaches guide my work, trust, empathy, compassion, and understanding remain the cornerstones of every therapeutic relationship I build.

With years of experience in New Jersey public schools as a counselor, director, and prevention specialist, I have extensive experience working with adolescents. I also work with individuals across the lifespan and diverse populations, with a special focus on neurodiverse individuals and families. I honor each person’s unique strengths, experiences, and goals.
