Trauma-informed therapy for clients who want to get in touch with their authentic selves
I provide individual therapy to adults who may be dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or suffering the effects of trauma
-
Internal Family Systems therapy
Clients discover more about the various “parts” of themselves, and work with their parts towards healing
-
EMDR treatment
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy uses techniques that help the nervous system become “unstuck” and allow the body to heal naturally from a trauma or other stressor
No matter what challenges life may have thrown you, I believe anyone can discover how to access their own inner resources and grow.

Welcome.
I’m Heather Herz, LCSW, a therapist based in New Jersey and New York City, who provides trauma-informed individual therapy to adults.
You deserve a space to care for yourself! So many people tell me they are doing okay, but something just doesn’t feel right...something feels stuck.
Many people tell me they have tried talk therapy before, and “just talking” about problems isn’t helping them feel any better! I believe in incorporating work with the body and nervous system in order to help clients get “unstuck” and begin to heal at a deeper level.
Or, sometimes people are seeking therapy for the first time, and don’t know where to start! I use compassion, genuineness, and humor, and my style is always client-centered and collaborative. I work from the mindset that you are the expert of your own life; I’m just here to help you get in touch with your best self.
