Dr. Susan Niznik, PsyD

Psychotherapist
NJ
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to help you overcome challenges and achieve meaningful, lasting change. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in School Psychology and more than 15 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, executive functioning challenges, stress, behavioral concerns, parenting issues, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. As an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider, I provide specialized care for individuals struggling with attention, organization, motivation, and emotional regulation. My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based techniques. Together, we'll develop practical strategies tailored to your goals. My background as a certified school psychologist provides extensive experience supporting children and families through learning, behavioral, and emotional challenges, while my work in crisis intervention has given me broad experience helping individuals through difficult situations. Whether you're seeking support for ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, or major life changes, I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps you build resilience, improve your well-being, and move forward with confidence. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward better mental health.
