Dr. Elizabeth Nyang
My name is Dr. Elizabeth Nyang. I have a masters degree in counseling from Seton Hall University and a doctorate degree in counseling psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology. I work with clients (adults and couples) that have issues with mental health, relationships/marriage, and/ life issues. I accept clients with depression, anxiety, problems at work, problems within the marriage/family, mood disorders, and adjustment issues. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, Gottman approach for marriages, and Gestalt techniques integrated with meditation and tai chi to help clients gain insight into the root causes of their problems and/or marriage issues and reduce stress. My communication style is relaxed, honest, caring and factual. When working with clients, I find that they appreciate honesty and my being able to listen with respect and without judgement. My personal acknowledgement that I am not perfect allows me to be able to form a genuine relationship with my clients by accepting them where they are in life. I started using meditation ten years ago and began practicing Tai Chi nine years ago. Today, I integrate meditation and Tai Chi into my therapy sessions. Some of my clients enjoy doing seated tai chi movements during online counseling. Water aerobics is my passion, and I try to take a water aerobics class three times a week. After water aerobics, I enjoy going for a short swim. Exercise is how I add balance to my life. We will work together to help you find ways to resolve issues and add balance to your life. I am looking forward to working with you.
