About Us

“We believe that therapeutic work is most productive when aligned with an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment…”

At Balanced Insight, we strive to provide the highest quality of therapeutic care and help individuals promote their inherent strengths, effectively problem solve, and improve overall quality of life. Our goal is to help people promote:

• • Growth
  • Positive change
  • Acknowledgment of personal strengths

Check out the video below featuring Dr. Shivers, who provides an overview of Balanced Insight and explores several important mental health topics, along with effective coping strategies to navigate them.

Our treatment plans are adapted to meet the unique and diverse needs of each individual within their personal, subjective context, as well as within the systems to which they belong, including family, school, work, and community. Children, adolescents, and adults face life challenges that may cause distress, uncertainty, and difficulty coping with emotions. Therapy can provide support to help overcome such challenges, and learn skills to tolerate and cope with painful emotions.

Our therapists are highly trained with extensive experience working in an array of clinical settings. We have psychologists licensed in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania as well as therapists who are also certified school psychologists. We have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults presenting with a variety of emotional, behavioral, and social challenges.

Common issues that we treat include:

• • Anxiety
  • Depression and Mood Disorders
  • ADHD
  • Anger
  • OCD
  • Interpersonal difficulties
  • Self-esteem issues

We believe that therapeutic work is most productive when aligned with an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment. We are passionate about supporting your efforts toward improving health and wellness, as well as offering guidance on ways to access intrinsic strengths in order to experience personal success. We use an integrative approach to treatment, with interventions drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based skills, movement-based skills, and play therapy. Additionally, we are trained and experienced providing in leading workshops for community settings, schools, and corporations.
