If you do not leave a voicemail message, we will not be aware that you called. To ensure a timely response, please leave a message with your name, phone number, and the reason for calling. You may email the Mars & Venus Counseling Center at marsvenusnj@gmail.com.
The purpose of counseling is to support individuals, couples, and families in improving mental health, managing stress, and overcoming anxiety, depression, or life challenges. Our licensed therapists provide professional, compassionate, and confidential individual counseling, couples counseling, family counseling, relationship counseling, and grief support. Counseling strengthens coping skills, fosters emotional well-being, enhances relationships, and promotes personal growth and long-term life satisfaction.
Counseling and therapy are very closely related and the words are used interchangeably, but there are differences. Counseling often focuses on guidance, support, and coping strategies for specific life challenges, stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. Therapy (or psychotherapy) goes deeper, addressing mental health, emotional patterns, trauma, or long-term behavioral change. Both counseling and therapy improve emotional well-being and personal growth.
If you want guidance, coping strategies, or support for specific life challenges, stress, anxiety, or relationship issues, counseling is a good choice. If you are dealing with deeper emotional issues, trauma, or long-term mental health concerns, therapy may be more appropriate. Our clinicians help you determine whether counseling or therapy is the best fit for your needs.
We schedule counseling sessions as quickly as possible, often within a few days. Availability depends on your counselor and office hours, and spots may fill quickly. With offices across Bergen County, Morris County, and surrounding areas, we can offer many appointment slots. To secure your session for individual counseling, couples therapy, or family counseling, please call, email marsvenusnj@gmail.com, or submit the Contact Us Today! form at https://counselinginnorthnj.com/contact/.
