CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
MICHELLE NADEL, MA, LPC, ACS
FOUNDER, PRACTICE OWNER, CLINICAL SUPERVISOR
Hey yall! Ive been practicing for 11 years & specializing in OCD and anxiety treatment for the past 7. I utilize ERP and CBT based practices and continue to learn & incorporate other modalities I deem beneficial with each client. I believe we’re in this together & look forward to working with you as a team. My own mental health journey led me to where I am today. I get it more than you know...
Outside of practicing, I love to bake, spend time outside, exercise & my most favorite activity yet is enjoying being in my newest role as a mommy.
Seeking therapy is incredibly brave but can also be somewhat scary.
Sometimes speaking to someone to walk through the initial process can
help ease the scary part. I am happy to support you with that.
I work with children and young adults in both NJ and NY who deal with anxiety, OCD, depression, identity confusion, and relationship issues. Many of my clients work on improving confidence, self-esteem and skills and tools
to help deal with life stressors. I have specialized training in ERP,
trauma therapy, psychodynamic, and play therapy. I enjoy working with
adults, children and families on improving positive social
interactions. Together, we'll develop strategies to help cope with the
difficulty of life.
Maribeth Engelbrecht, LSW
Therapist
Maribeth completed her Masters in Social Work at Fordham University specializing in clinical therapies within Children and Families. Mari accepts clients both in person and virtually. As a clinician, Mari works from a strengths based perspective with the goal of providing a comforting space for you to share your feelings and experiences. Mari has experience working in both clinical and medical settings including populations struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, life change, trauma, and unexpected medical diagnoses.
During your time together you can rely on Mari to be validating, open minded, and empathetic to your situation. No problem is the same, therefore not every client will benefit from the same methodology of treatment. In Mari's work, she relies on various forms of therapy - including but not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, Psycho-Therapy and Art Therapy. Mari looks forward to meeting you!
Michelle is a graduate student at Georgian Court University in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. Michelle has intensive outpatient experience and has led groups on topics such as dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, substance abuse, acceptance and commitment therapy, and exposure and response prevention.
Michelle believes that compassion and a strong rapport is the hallmark of the recovery process. Michelle’s lived experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder is what inspired her to become a therapist, so she knows how isolated it can make someone feel.
Outside of being a therapist and a graduate student, Michelle is a life-long musician and has been teaching piano lessons for many years. In her free time, Michelle enjoys spending time with family and friends, going outside, and being creative

What is ERP anyway
Exposure & Response Prevention. Sometimes referred to as the “gold standard” treatment for OCD. (You’ll learn a lot more about this throughout your treatment process, but here’s a snippet):
Exposure- a client is exposed to feared stimuli gradually
Response Prevention-together with your therapist, you’ll learn how to disengage from compulsive behaviors in response to the feared stimulus.
It’s an evidence-based intervention in which a client learns how to “sit with their anxiety” with the intention of learning to cope with stressors instead of avoid them. We know it sounds scary. It can be! We’re here to help you through it.
