Therapy Services in Millburn, NJ
You’re Allowed to Set It Down
We all wear so many hats — the reliable one at work, the strong one at home, the one everyone leans on. But hats get heavy after a while. Maybe you’ve been quietly holding onto anxiety, grief, or a relationship that feels more distant than it used to, and no one around you really knows. We want you to know that here, you don’t have to hold it by yourself anymore. At Light Street Psychotherapy, there’s room for whatever you’re feeling — no performing, no pretending. Just an honest place to slow down, be understood, and start finding your way back to yourself.

Care That Grows With You Difficult feelings show up at every age, just in different shapes. A young child in Millburn might show their stress through tantrums or trouble sleeping, simply because they don’t yet have the language for it. A teenager might go quiet, wrestling with school pressure, friendships, or figuring out who they want to be. A young adult might feel unsteady, trying to build a career and an identity at the same time. And adults often carry a mix of everything — marriage, parenting, work, and the losses life brings along the way. Whatever stage you’re in, Light Street Psychotherapy meets Millburn children, teens, young adults, and adults exactly where they stand.
More Than a Therapy Office Meredith Strauss, LCSW, built Light Street Psychotherapy on a simple idea: real healing starts with truly being seen, not just diagnosed and sent on your way. Working alongside clinicians like Gina Totino, LCSW, our team brings genuine experience in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship pain — paired with real warmth in the room. Our office sits right within Millburn Township, in the Short Hills section, and we also offer online sessions for the days getting out the door feels like too much.
