Anxiety Treatments at Therapy in Play
Individual Therapy
Our anxiety therapy in Edison, NJ, includes individual therapy where you’ll work one-on-one with one of our experienced therapists at Gaming Approaches Toward Education, LLC (GATE). No matter the situations you face, we’ll help you find ways to create healthy coping strategies for difficult situations. Our goal with individual therapy is to help you understand your diagnosis, your anxiety triggers, and your feelings so you can work through them.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Anxiety can be difficult to understand, but cognitive behavioral therapy will help you identify the thoughts and feelings that lead to anxious behavior. By identifying these harmful thoughts, we will help you create better thought patterns and develop healthier behaviors. This type of anxiety therapy in Edison, NJ, allows you to learn and practice these new thought processes in a safe environment.
Group Therapy
In group therapy, our anxiety counselors will create a safe space where you can share experiences and gain support from others with anxiety. Group therapy is beneficial because it allows you to learn from others like you and gives you ample opportunity to create a support group of people who experience similar difficulties due to anxiety.
Play Therapy
We utilize play in our anxiety therapy in Edison, NJ, to help you create healthy coping mechanisms and skills through board games, storytelling, role-playing, sand trays, and expressive arts. These games will help you improve your mental health while learning skills to help you cope with your anxiety.
Therapy Based on Your Needs

How Our Counselors Can Help
At GATE, our counselors are licensed and experienced in providing psychotherapy treatments to help you improve your mental health.

GATE Therapy Intake Process
At GATE, we strive to make anxiety therapy a stress-free experience. We’ll work with you to address your mental health so you can find coping mechanisms that work for you. Our anxiety therapy in Edison, NJ, begins with three steps: consultation, evaluation, and appointment.
Consultation
The first step of our anxiety therapy in Edison, NJ, is a consultation. We’ll collect information in relation to any prior diagnoses, your goals for therapy and treatment, and your preference for in-person or telehealth therapy sessions. After which, we’ll set you up with an account on our confidential web-based program, TheraNest. This program will allow you to schedule appointments, pay for copays, and have access to your information.
Evaluation
Our evaluation phase involves two evaluations: one guided self-evaluation and an evaluation by one of our therapists. This phase of anxiety therapy helps determine the best form of therapy for you and your mental health issues. We’ll also design a treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs.
Appointment
After your evaluation, you’ll be able to schedule, cancel, and reschedule anxiety therapy sessions around your schedule on TheraNest. This allows you to schedule your appointments online and input your credit card information to pay for co-payments quickly.
Benefits of Anxiety Therapy
Positive Thinking
Anxiety can cause various negative emotions, like low self-esteem and frustration. Our counselors will help you through these negative thoughts and feelings to help you find ways to think more positively. While it may seem like a minor change, having healthier thoughts, feelings, and coping strategies can make a world of difference.
Coping Strategies
Once we’ve identified your anxiety triggers, one of our anxiety counselors will help you develop coping strategies that work for you. These coping strategies include meditating, healthily releasing your emotions, and giving yourself a healthy distraction.
Cultivate Healthy Relationships
Anxiety therapy is a great way to identify relationships that aren’t healthy for your mental health. This type of therapy will help you learn strategies for creating healthier relationships and improving your overall mental health.
