About Behavioral Care Center of New Jersey

We’re here to alleviate suffering and empower people to find their own strength, so they can live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Some families reach us after months of searching. Their child has a meltdown and can’t explain why. Their teen has stopped believing things can get better. Parents lie awake at 2 AM, searching for answers. They’ve tried therapy before, and it didn’t work. By the time they find us, they’re exhausted, scared, and running out of hope.

Behavioral Care Center of New Jersey was built for exactly these moments. Our practice has spent nearly two decades helping children, teens, adults, parents, and families navigate their most difficult chapters. Erica started this practice with a clear purpose: to alleviate suffering and to help people discover the strength they already carry inside them. That mission has shaped everything, from the clinicians we hire to the way we show up for every client, every session.

We work with people across a wide range of psychological needs, offering individual, group, family, and collateral therapy, including DBT skills groups. We believe every person is unique and deserves a personalized, collaborative approach to their care. At the same time, we are deeply committed to using treatments that have been thoroughly researched and proven effective. Our clinicians are trained in CBT, DBT, and ACT, and we draw on all three to meet each client exactly where they are.

Here, it’s not about sitting on a couch, talking. We teach practical skills you and your child can use every day. We stay with families through the hard parts. And we believe, with every client that we see, things can be different.

The Values That Drive Everything We Do

Step 1: We Listen Deeply

We start by creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel genuinely seen. Together, we take the time to understand what you or your child is experiencing and the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Step 2: We Build a Plan Together

Based on your goals and values, we develop a treatment plan grounded in cutting-edge, evidence-based approaches. Every plan is individualized because no two people, or families, are the same.

Step 3: You Build Skills and See Real Change

Step by step, session by session, we help you build the practical skills to manage emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and move toward a life that feels genuinely worth living.
