About Me
Hi, my name is Phyllis. I am licensed in New Jersey and have over 15 years of working with people in different capacities, including social work and as a therapist. I have a graduate degree in Human Services with a Specialization in Marital, Couple, and Family Therapy. I tend to view people and their concerns in relation to their relationships with others. I enjoy helping clients find their voice and learn skills they can use to get their needs met. My approach to therapy is individualistic, positive, and strengths-based. I use a tailored approach to therapy for each client’s individual needs. I know it can be scary to be vulnerable with a therapist and will do my best to ensure you feel safe while working toward your goals at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
I use a mix of person-centered, solution-focused, and narrative therapy. I enjoy helping clients feeling empowered to make changes in their lives. I enjoy watching clients feel strong enough to set boundaries in their relationships and change behaviors that no longer serve them. I like sparking curiosity and hope abut the future. My ultimate goal is to create an atmosphere that allows for free expression so you can feel empowered to live your best life.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Phyllis Nehra. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Very attentive, great listener, sound/solid advice and suggestions.
Phyllis is very helpful. She is real with me and works with me to help me overcome my problems. She is very understanding and makes me feel heard. I was skeptical at first as I’ve been to a few therapists before but she makes me feel comfortable and I can talk with her very easily about my issues. I really enjoy having her as my therapist.
Very easy to talk to and awesome in giving advice on how to handle things
Phyllis is fantastic and she helped me through a rough period. With her support and encouragement, I was able to focus on getting a dream job, as well as finding ways to care for myself through several life transitions. I appreciated her humor and willingness to laugh. She also helped me set realistic goals that always included finding ways to "fill my cup".
Thank you, Phyllis!
Phyllis is wonderful. She's be very helpful in what i need and helps me deal with my depression. I feel so much better each session.
Phyllis is great. Easy to talk to and understands my needs.
Really enjoyed my sessions with Phyllis! All our sessions were through live chat and she was very comfortable to chat with. Reminded me of healthy boundaries, between my boyfriend's parents and with others, and I can see the progress I've made in a short amount of time. Thank you Phyllis for all your advice, help and knowledge!
Phyllis is excellent! It’s only been 3-4 weeks and she has helped me so much with having understanding and compassion for myself while working through my issues.
Really kind and funny! Very practical approach to problems and good with reminders on past topics to continue moving forward.
I enjoyed my sessions with Phyllis Nehra. I looked forward to starting my Saturdays with therapy. She always assisted in whatever concerns and issues I brought to my sessions. She was calm, super cool, and always provided constructive advice and feedback. It was a great experience for someone doing therapy for the first time.
Phyllis really helped me out when I was going through a tough time in my life. I can't even begin to say how helpful she was in getting me through the worst of it all. She is genuine, kind, a great listener, and extremely knowledgeable. I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to work with her and am better prepared to deal with the next chapter of my life.
I appreciate Phyllis for her help for me.
I'm grateful for the empowerment and tools Phyllis has given me through therapy. Her demeanor is open, relaxed and inviting and her cat often makes an appearance, which I love. Phyllis has a way of equating experiences in one area of life to other settings in order to shed perspective, distance and illuminate solutions that are obvious in other settings. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with her and feel confident in trusting my gut and setting appropriate boundaries to build successful relationships and reduce anxiety triggers.
I love Phyllis. She has helped me so much and makes the conversation flow like you are talking to a friend. She has helpful advice and helps me organize my thoughts. I highly recommend her to many.
Phyllis is the best therapist I have ever had!
She listens and is very comforting, I feel heard and respected. She gives good feedback/advice and I don’t know what I would do without her.
Awesome!
Best of the best!! I feel like I have known her for years!
I have only worked with Phyllis a few times, mostly through emails. I finally scheduled a phone session and was very pleased how it went. I look forward to having more phone conversations and hopeful to have the same effect.
Very helpful and insightful.
My counselor answers me whenever I feel like I need to talk. The convenience of BetterHelp is just want I need with three kids at home! I feel completely comfortable with my counselor and appreciate everything she is doing to help me.
I’ve been working with Phyllis for a few months now and the more time passes, the more I feel the value of this service. They say therapy is a process and it takes time to see changes ripple out into all the areas of one’s life. I’m excited to keep working towards those changes with the confidence of all the progress we’ve already made together!
Phyllis is very thoughtful and kind. She’s down to earth and engaging. She truly cares and I’m thankful for her help.
Phyllis is a very smart and understanding voice that helped me tremendously with just one session. I was nervous at first but after a few minutes she had me completely relaxed and opening.
Phyllis is warm, funny and perceptive.
