Trauma Therapist in Florham Park, NJ
Therapy That Actually Fits Your Life, Florham Park
Let’s be honest — reaching out for therapy can feel like one more thing on an already full plate. Maybe you’ve thought about it for months but never made the call. Maybe you’re not even sure if what you’re feeling “counts” as something worth talking about. Here’s the truth: if it’s affecting your day, your relationships, or your peace of mind, it counts. At Light Street Psychotherapy, we keep things simple, human, and judgment-free — so getting support doesn’t feel like a bigger task than the problem itself.

We Work With People at Every Stage of Life Kids, teens, young adults, and adults all experience stress differently, and we treat them differently too. For younger children in Florham Park, that might mean using play and creativity to help them express what they can’t yet put into words. For teens, it might mean a space to talk honestly about school pressure, friendships, or identity without feeling judged. For young adults, therapy often becomes a place to sort out career direction, relationships, and who they’re becoming. And for adults, it’s usually about managing the ongoing mix of work, family, and everything in between. Whatever stage you’re at, we meet you there.
Meet the Team Behind the Care Meredith Strauss, LCSW, founded Light Street Psychotherapy with a clear goal: make therapy feel like a real conversation, not a clinical checklist. She’s joined by clinicians like Gina Totino, LCSW, and a broader team trained in trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship-focused care. Our office sits a short drive from Florham Park in Short Hills, and we also offer telehealth if getting to an office isn’t realistic some weeks.
