Getting to know Jeffrey Aviles
Do you wake up with your heart pounding so hard you think it might burst, feeling like you're navigating a battlefield, with PTSD, anxiety, health anxiety, and ADHD lurking in the trenches? Do you carry a heavy rucksack, each step weighed down by intrusive thoughts and overwhelming emotions? It's okay to admit you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, and exhausted by the constant battle against your own mind.
I understand the deep pain of feeling trapped in a cycle of mental turmoil, like being caught in a never-ending skirmish, where every attempt to find peace pulls you deeper into the fray. It's a heavy load, and I recognize how it can feel like marching through a storm, with thunderclouds of doubt and insecurity looming overhead. The struggle with self-doubt, self-worth, and identity can feel like a tangled web, impossible to unravel without guidance.
Imagine your heart as a battlefield, each beat like the drum of war, echoing panic attacks that strike without warning, like sudden ambushes. Anxiety feels like a ticking time bomb, each second amplifying fear and uncertainty. Together, we'll learn to diffuse this bomb, disarming triggers and calming the storm within.
But here’s the thing—you’re not alone in this mission. As a therapist specializing in PTSD, anxiety, health anxiety, and ADHD, I’m here to offer a steady hand amidst the chaos. Together, we can navigate these challenges, knowing healing and growth are not just possibilities but achievable realities. We’ll use evidence-based techniques like a tactical plan, guiding us toward clarity and understanding, even when the way forward seems unclear.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and hold a Bachelor’s from New Jersey City University. This foundation supports my commitment to compassionate, effective care.
Let’s embark on this mission together, moving closer to healing and wholeness by confronting your challenges head-on.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Jeffrey understands that those battling anxiety often feel like they are caught in an unrelenting firefight, constantly on high alert. This hypervigilance can be exhausting and debilitating, affecting every aspect of their lives. He works diligently to disarm the triggers and provide a clear path toward resilience and tranquility.
For trauma survivors, Jeffrey recognizes the haunting echoes of past experiences that can infiltrate their present, creating a perpetual state of unrest. He compassionately addresses these echoes, helping clients to reclaim their sense of safety and autonomy, restoring a sense of peace to their lives.
Individuals with ADHD often feel like they are lost in a minefield of distractions and impulsivity. Jeffrey's tactical approach ensures that clients can navigate this minefield with increased focus and improved executive functioning, allowing them to achieve their personal and professional goals.
I the face of anxiety, Jeffrey acts as a steadfast helmsman, guiding his clients through the stormy seas of their racing thoughts and overwhelming fears. He employs evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help clients anchor their minds, fostering a sense of calm and control.
For those grappling with trauma, Jeffrey is akin to a skilled medic on the battlefield. He identifies and addresses the deep-seated pain points that often punctuate a client's past, utilizing Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to heal the psychological scars. His approach is both empathetic and strategic, ensuring that clients feel safe and supported as they navigate their path to recovery.
When it comes to ADHD, Jeffrey is like a master tactician, helping clients organize the chaotic battlefield of their minds. He provides structure and strategies, equipping them with the tools needed to manage their symptoms effectively.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
When working with a new client, I follow a simple yet transformative four-step process:
### 1. Expect the Extraordinary: Setting the Stage for Change
First, we create the expectation that this experience will be unlike any other. You are embarking on a journey of profound change, and it's important to recognize that you have the power to transform your life. This is not just another therapy session—this is the beginning of a new chapter where you will see real, impactful change.
### 2. Unmasking the Invisible: Understanding Beliefs, Behaviors, and Thoughts
Next, we delve into the beliefs, behaviors, and thoughts that have been getting in your way. This step is about gaining a deeper understanding of the mental and emotional barriers that have been holding you back. By identifying these obstacles, we can start to dismantle them, clearing the path for your progress.
### 3. Crafting Your Arsenal: Developing Specialized Strategies
Once we have a clear understanding of the obstacles, we work on developing specialized strategies that you can practice on a weekly basis. These strategies are tailored to your unique needs and are designed to ensure you are making consistent progress. Think of this as equipping yourself with the tools and techniques necessary to navigate your challenges effectively.
### 4. The Joyful Journey: Infusing Humor and Excitement into Change
Finally, we bring humor and excitement to the process of change. After all, if you're not excited about the change, it's not going to happen. We incorporate elements of fun and positivity into our sessions, making the journey enjoyable and something to look forward to. This approach helps to keep you motivated and engaged, ensuring that the changes you make are lasting and meaningful.
This structured approach helps us navigate your challenges effectively, fostering growth and resilience as we work towards your goals. Together, we can defuse the ticking time bomb of anxiety, calm the storm within.

Jeff made me feel very comfortable, I felt like he was my friend that I’ve known for years. It felt so easy to just talk and I didn’t feel judged at all and that was one of the reasons I was afraid to even start therapy .

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Jeffrey Aviles and his team. Dr. Aviles offers video appointments, which fit my needs perfectly. He is warm, compassionate, and an excellent listener. During our first session, I shared an emotional and distressing backstory, and he made me feel truly heard and understood. His empathy and professionalism gave me hope and confidence moving forward, and I look forward to accomplishing the goals we’ll set together.
Toni and Vhey were equally wonderful, ensuring a seamless process from start to finish. They helped with scheduling, completing my intake forms, and booking my follow-up appointment. Their kindness and efficiency made everything so much easier.
I’m incredibly grateful for Dr. Aviles and his team. If you’re looking for a compassionate and attentive doctor with amazing support staff, I highly recommend Dr. Aviles.

Jeff is soo easy to talk to. He listens, validates your feelings, asks all of the right questions, helped me navigate my heightened feelings & thoughts that tend to go on tangents, just scattered.
From my 1st session, I walked away with hope, positivity & enlightenment that I haven’t had in a long time. One key thing mentioned in those early sessions is that I CAN create the family that I want.
Recently though, I went through a breakdown, flooding with tears, because of a crossroads with my partner of over 10 years. Jeff was able to fit me into is calendar that same day & this session was over the phone, as opposed to in person. He really saved me! No one else could have consoled me the way he did in that debilitating moment. We reassessed my priorities & purpose, asking those right questions, truly giving me the epiphany that I have to be (and WANT to be) my best self as an individual in every sense first, regardless what is to come.
Jeff has an incredible gift. I am soo thankful.

Jeff is the consummate therapist and professional. I booked this session within 48 hours and not only was it confirmed, but he was well prepared for getting us started. I am typically apprehensive about choosing a therapist and so I did a bunch of research and I am so happy that I found Jeff so quickly, if you are considering therapy for any reason, ron do not walk to booking jeff as your therapist.

Great experience!!!

I really can't say enough nice things about Jeff. Coming to therapy I felt like it would be weird and I didn't even know if it would work. But after working with Jeff I notice a lot change of in my life and overall confidence. I can't recommend him enough. His ability to also make things easy to understand and apply was a plus.

Helped immensely with stress and anxiety control as well as helped me maintain my diet better through repeated sessions. I always leave sessions with Jeff feeling much less anxious and stressed. Repeated sessions have helped me lose weight with a combination of behavior modification and hypnosis to reinforce it. It has also helped with my confidence by helping me envision who exactly I want to be/strive to be. I’ve found this very helpful in my treatment and everyday life, I highly recommend this as part of your treatment and highly recommend Jeff.

I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression back in March of this year and was Recommend by a friend to work with Jeff. My childhood wasn’t the greatest and last year I had a traumatizing event take place all in which caused me to have real bad anxiety. Jeff is a life saver I recommend him to anyone that is going through hard times in life. I’m happy I got connected with him. Since speaking with him he has always listened and helped me challenge myself from day one and also understood my main goals were to eventually learn techniques so i wouldn’t have to take medication to cope with anxiety and depression.

Jeff has been a LIFESAVER! Working with him on my anxiety has literally changed my life. I have been to multiple different therapists for my anxiety and have been prescribed medication to help and nothing has come close to the therapy sessions I had with Jeff! Absolutely recommend!

One of the best experiences I ever had in my life. I left out feeling more confident than ever to tackle my fears and anxieties. I came in unmotivated to try and tackle my fears and left out a new man. His methods are the best and most importantly he is genuine. You can tell it’s not about money but about helping you overcome your anxiety’s and fears. Thank God for this man. Even though our sessions are done I will be coming back monthly because I can see results and changes already.

I had a really great experience with Jeff. He has helped me with meditation techniques that I can use on an everyday basis. He is also very honest with you which was very important to me. Definitely was not the typical therapy session where you leave feeling the same way you cake in. I learned something new about myself every session and walked out feeling ready to face my challenges. I will recommend to anyone!
More than 1 year agoLS
Jeff is by far the best therapist I have ever visited. He let you say what you feel is bothering you and holding you captive with anxiety.
Then with your help he slowly breaks everything down to where he knows exactly where the work needs to be done to set you free.
I plan on seeing him a few more times to really get my anxiety under control. I highly recommend Jeff’s services if you a suffering from mental health issues and need a boost of help.

I’ve been dealing with some pretty bad anxiety as of late and I decided that I needed some help. I was looking up therapist and other places I could go and I found Jeff. I decided that this would be a good course of action for me and something that I was interested in trying out. I’ve had two sessions and Jeff has helped me lessen my anxiety and given me some tips and tricks for when I am feeling anxious. Jeff is a great guy and is easy to talk to (even when having to open up about things you wouldn’t normally talk about). I would definitely recommend to a friend. I am excited to continue my work with Jeff!

Jeffrey Aviles has been very patient and insightful for me to work with. He has been able to accurately capture and observe some of the root of things that I want to work on. I feel that I am making progress and will make some amazing breakthroughs as we set the intention and engage with follow through. I am absolutely grateful to have him as my provider/counselor and recommend him to anyone who is willing to put in the work. Your healing would most certainly be in great hands!
