Montclair, NJ Couples Therapy | Brainspotting & Marriage Counseling Intensives
For couples and individuals overwhelmed by stress, burnout, anxiety, or relationship disconnection.
Virtual and in-person intensives for clients across New Jersey.
When You Know Something Needs to Change In Your Relationship or Within Yourself
When patterns in your relationship feel repetitive, or anxiety and emotional overload make it difficult to feel steady or connected, supportive therapy can help you find your footing again. At Marriage Counseling New Jersey, I offer couples therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Brainspotting Therapy in Montclair, NJ, including intensive therapy options that support meaningful, lasting change.
You might be:
stuck in the same conflicts without resolution
feeling more like roommates than partners
unsure how to repair after a breach of trust
longing for closeness but not knowing how to reach each other
Or maybe you’re someone who is:
carrying more than anyone realizes while trying to hold everything together
slipping into over-functioning or hyper-independence just to cope
feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained
repeating patterns in dating or relationships that you’re ready to understand and shift
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to move through it alone.
You don’t have to keep carrying this by yourself.
I offer therapy intensives — focused, spacious sessions that allow you to slow down, understand what’s really happening underneath the surface, and begin creating meaningful, lasting change without the limitations of weekly therapy.
Whether you’re carrying relational pain or your own emotional overload, you deserve support that meets you where you are.

Hi, I’m Stevette — I’m glad you’re here.
If you’ve found your way here, something in your relationship or emotional life is asking for attention. You don’t have to navigate that alone.
I work with couples and individuals who feel stuck in painful patterns, overwhelmed by emotional stress, or disconnected from the kind of closeness and peace they long for. Together, we slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and create space for meaningful, lasting change.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Brainspotting. My work is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in helping you feel safe, seen, and supported throughout the process. For over a decade, I’ve helped couples repair trust, strengthen emotional connection, and move out of cycles that keep them feeling distant or alone. I also support individuals carrying stress, trauma, or emotional overwhelm in becoming more grounded and at ease.
I offer in-person intensives in my Montclair, New Jersey office, as well as online intensives throughout New Jersey, for those seeking deeper, more focused work.

Frequently Asked Questions About Couples Counseling, NJ
-
Yes. I work with both individuals and couples. Some clients come in specifically for relationship support, while others seek help for emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or patterns rooted in past experiences. We’ll talk together about what kind of support is the best fit for you.
-
Brainspotting is a body-based, trauma-informed therapy that works with the nervous system. It helps access and process emotional experiences that may be difficult to reach through talk therapy alone. Many clients find it especially helpful for anxiety, emotional overload, burnout, and relationship-related stress.
-
While talk therapy focuses on understanding and insight, Brainspotting works directly with how experiences are stored in the body. This allows deeper processing of emotional responses, often leading to relief that feels more lasting and less effortful.
-
A therapy intensive is a longer, focused session or series of sessions designed to help you go deeper without spreading the work out over many months. Intensives can be helpful if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or want more concentrated support than weekly therapy allows.
-
An intensive may be a good fit if you:
Feel emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed
Have tried weekly therapy and still feel stuck
Want deeper, focused support in a shorter period of time
Prefer contained, intentional work
We’ll discuss this during a consultation to ensure it’s appropriate for your needs.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. Many clients choose this option for privacy, flexibility, and access to specialized services such as intensives. I’m happy to provide documentation for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
