 My therapist 'got me' right away.
I was able to open up -
it feels like a weight has been
lifted from my shoulders.

Expert Therapy and Counseling in NJ

The Institute for Personal Growth - IPG Counseling - is the leading provider of effective, compassionate psychotherapy and counseling in New Jersey. We have more than three dozen therapists in three NJ locations: Highland Park, Jersey City and Freehold, and new offices in New York City. We have day and evening hours, six days a week, and work with many insurance plans.

We provide individual, child, family and couples counseling for problems ranging from depression and anxiety to addictions, relationship conflict and life crises. In addition to these general therapy services, we are the largest provider of sex therapy in the New Jersey region. And since our founding in 1983, we’re known for our expertise and work with LGBT and other sex and gender-diverse communities.

The majority of our clients come for our general services: the expert individual, child, family, and marriage and relationship counseling we are known for, provided in a caring, supportive environment. It doesn’t matter if you suffer from trauma and PTSD, work problems, stress or are just going through a difficult period. With our range of experience and training, and our choice of counselors and therapists in New Jersey, locations, and hours, we can arrange an appointment quickly so you can get started on the path to well-being.
