Hello! I am Jeffrey, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey with over 8 years of experience in providing psychotherapy services. My passion lies in helping individuals across all ages and stages of life, but I am particularly dedicated to working with young adults and adolescents. My focus is on assisting those who are navigating decision-making, life transitions, and specific stressors or phobias. In my practice, I specialize in mental health and psychotherapy, treating a variety of conditions including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, insomnia, mood disorders, panic attacks, counseling, and grief and loss. I also have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with chronic illness and health anxiety. My approach to therapy is a collaborative partnership. I work primarily with adults and adolescents through various life changes and transitions, such as relationships, social issues, academic stress, and significant life events like new jobs or relocations. Additionally, I have worked extensively with psychiatric issues such as phobias and OCD, providing significant support to those recently diagnosed with chronic illnesses or experiencing health anxiety. Each session, I aim to create a space where you feel heard and supported. Together, we will explore practical solutions to help you feel more in control of your situation and build cognitive skills that will increase your ability to feel calmer and think more clearly. I believe therapy is a teamwork exercise where you are the expert on yourself, and I am here to help you check your blind spots and challenge yourself to new levels of wellness and acceptance. *Specialties •Mental Health •Psychotherapy *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •Insomnia •Mood disorders •Panic attacks •Counseling •Grief and Loss *Treatment philosophy Simply put-I believe therapy is a partnership or an exercise in teamwork.

Greetings! I'm Dr. Joshua Werblin, a dedicated psychiatrist with a compassionate approach to care. My practice is a sanctuary for individuals of all ages seeking mental wellness. My journey began at The University of Chicago, where I delved into the fundamentals of society and its utopian ideals. I took a somewhat circuitous path from there, working in different fields for nearly a decade before starting to study for my medical degree (M.D.) at Tulane University School of Medicine. During those ten years, I worked variously as a biophysicist, wooden boatbuilder, IT support, astrophysics technical work, and an Auxiliary NYPD officer in Harlem. I completed a Pediatrics Internship at Tulane University, followed by a narrower focus in General Psychiatry Residency training, also at Tulane. I then received subspecialty fellowship training in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children's Hospital/University of Washington, followed by the acquisition of Addiction Psychiatry sub-specialization some years later. My career has been diverse, including roles as an Inpatient Psychiatrist, Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist, and several Outpatient Psychiatry positions in New York, Florida, and Maryland. More than half of my career has been spent serving the most underserved and marginalized populations, such as youth and women rescued from the sex trade, runaway youth, homeless families, LGBTQIA++ populations, and undocumented immigrants. Since 2019, I've been proudly serving as 'The Feelings Doctor' in my solo virtual practice, offering psychiatric care for children, adolescents, adults, and those facing addiction challenges. My commitment to you is simple: to provide empathetic, individualized, evidence-based care that supports your unique journey toward mental health wellness, whether or not you choose to use medications along the way. Let's work together to navigate life's challenges and embrace the path to healing and fulfillment.
