Find a Therapist in Elmwood Park, NJ

Welcome! I’m Rebecca Snyder. I understand that life’s transitions, finding meaning, and managing chronic pain can be challenging, to say the least. If you're reading this, I first want you to know that you are not alone. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental environment to explore these challenges together. Using evidence-based practices like DBT, IFS, EMDR, and CBT, I tailor our work to your unique needs, whether facing life transitions, relationship issues, or recovery from trauma and addiction. We’ll build a toolkit to manage these challenges, process what led you here, and ultimately enhance your innate strengths. In our work together, we’ll use DBT modules, including mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, to help you feel more grounded. If you're exhausted, burnt out, and ready to try something new, I'd love to explore your experience together, and we can create a path forward. Healing is possible, even if it feels out of reach right now.

I help individuals process change - wanted or unwanted. Losses are important to recognize and acknowledge their importance. Some losses we experienced earlier this week, others happened to us while we were quite young. I'll educate to acknowledge the presence of emotions, monitor emotions, and the ability to listen to their important messages that will lead to growth and behavior that is beneficial! I've found I'm a great fit for the 20-something to 40-something man who isn't easily aware of his emotions and therefore may be experiencing shortcomings (or roadblocks) in his life. Clients who work in the Arts, Education, Finance, and Entrepreneurs find my style complimentary to their own strengths and perspectives.

Dr. Fuller aims to minimize the frequency and intensity of the client's suffering and emotional pain, as well as self-defeating patterns, and he helps the client to develop skills leading to life satisfaction and goal achievement. In doing this, Dr. Fuller places a strong emphasis on cognitive-behavioral theory (CBT) and associated techniques. Dr. Fuller tailors these and other techniques to the needs of the individual. This approach helps clients successfully overcome present issues, whether they are long-standing (chronic) or critical (acute) issues. Scientifically-based methods are highlighted, and when there are no empirically supported treatments, reliance on theory and clinical judgment is utilized to provide clients with comprehensive and customized treatment of his or her particular conditions. He emphasizes the present, while helping clients to understand how relationships and historical events may still be affecting their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors today. Active methods of dealing with the here-and-now are stressed. Clients rapidly learn behavioral and cognitive skills that allow them to effectively deal with circumstances in their life.

Each crisis in our lives is an opportunity for healing and growth. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ concerns and I work with many heterosexual clients, as well.. My primary approach is relational psychodynamic, meaning I focus on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship to uncover and work on your deeper issues. An interactive and empathic therapist, I offer advice and support when needed, and I share my own experiences when I think they will be helpful. Though I have extensive, in-depth training, I rely greatly on intuition and humor in my work.

I believe in the power of therapy to heal and to bring a shift in ones perceptions. My effort is to engage the other in a cooperative process and in doing so to open all kinds of other possibilities in one's life. I have worked as a therapist for quite a few years and feel that the initial coming to the office is a difficult first step, but one that in the end will enable you to have a better quality of life.

I have been working with individuals and couples for over 25 years in a private practice setting based in New York City and New Jersey. It is my hope and intent to foster a working therapeutic environment in which people can feel free to express themselves in ways that will open up new ways of thinking, being and relating. .The most rewarding, yet, challenging aspect to living is being in relationship with ourselves and with another. How to navigate and sustain feelings of connectedness while maintaining a sense of authenticity is part of what I find people to be struggling with, especially in our culture of high demand and expectation. My experience in working with trauma, addictive disorders, abuse issues, life-transitions, as well as general anxiety and depression, has led me to believe that people are seeking ways towards achieving some sense of worth, meaning and well being. Over time, we will find ways together to speak to those parts of the self that have been in need of attention and support, making room for new experiences to emerge.

Therapy is a journey of self discovery which complements life experiences. It is through active listening and integrated approaches that the past is explored to determine how it relates to the present so that more satisfying life choices can be made. Research has shown that there is a mind body connection and for well being and balance, therapy can be a resource. If you are on the fence about going, " It is easy to do the things that are bad and not beneficial to the self but very very hard to do indeed is that which is beneficial and good." Dhammapada.
