Joshua Fink | Mental Health Counselor / Therapist photo
As a licensed psychologist, I provide a wide range of therapeutic services in the central and northern New Jersey region. Though I have experience working with people of all ages, my specialty is treating adolescents and young professionals, specifically those going through transition (changing schools, choosing a career, parents are going through a divorce, etc). I treat individuals, couples, and families using an integrated approach combining humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral theory.

My experience has included working with children at a pediatric hospital and with gifted adolescents in a public school setting. I have worked extensively with children, adults and families at a group private practice in southern California. In addition to providing psychotherapy, I conducted various psychological testing and ADHD evaluations.

Having completed my doctoral project/dissertation on caregivers of breast cancer patients, I have a special interest in working with individuals and their families who are dealing with medical conditions.
