He practices in New Jersey and works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addiction, relationship and LGBT-related concerns among others. Stuart trained in clinical mental health counseling and has worked in varied clinical settings with adolescents and adults since completing his master’s degree in 2016.

In sessions he focuses on clear, practical skills. He helps people build communication tools, set and maintain boundaries, and practice coping strategies for strong emotions. Stuart pays attention to how past relationships and life events affect present behavior and moods.

His approach is client-centered and collaborative. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-running patterns that can influence current reactions.

People come to him for a range of concerns including mood disorders, addiction, trauma and grief, intimacy challenges, parenting stress, ADHD, and anger. He also works with more specific issues such as body image, kink and alternative sex culture, gender dysphoria, and co-occurring conditions.

Stuart aims to help clients develop useful, day-to-day strategies. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what skills are needed, and what practical steps a person can try between meetings. He places emphasis on building stronger communication and healthier routines to reduce recurring frustration and resentment.
