James Genovese LPC, LCADC

I am an honors graduate of the College of New Jersey’s Master of Arts in Community Counseling program. I have 12 additional credits in counseling from Monmouth University and 12 doctoral psychology credits from Capella University.

I hold dual licensure in New Jersey as a Professional Counselor (LPC) and Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). I’m also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a member of Chi Sigma Iota, the Counseling Academic and Professional Honor Society International.

You’ll find that I am client-centered in my approach, which means that you will always receive from me what the famed psychologist Carl Rogers called Unconditional Positive Regard. In other words, you’ll be supported and encouraged in here and not judged. And the only label you’ll be known by is…Human Being.

Look, we all have challenges, be they insecurities, fears, uncertainties, traumatic experiences, and so forth. And this goes for therapists as well, myself included!

I specialize in helping people overcome depression, anxiety, addiction, traumas, and general life issues. I work with individuals as well as couples. My training includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR); Dialectic and Cognitive Behavioral therapies; Motivational Interviewing, and others. I rely on the latest developments in behavioral science to inform my practice, so that every client can receive the best possible care.

And here’s some information on Cheryl Genovese, my wife and partner who handles billing and scheduling:

She began her career as a kindergarten teacher and a reading recovery specialist, and for 25 years she taught second grade for the Hackensack Public Schools where she was recognized for her outstanding work in helping students who struggled with reading and writing to score either at or above their grade-level standards.

Now retired but still committed to helping others, Cheryl is now helping to serve our clients by handling phone intakes, scheduling and billing. She is personable and detail-oriented and she is happy to assist you. She always returns phone calls, typically within one to two business days.
