You Pride Yourself On Having It All Together

But Inside, It Feels Harder Than It Should

Therapy for high-functioning adults with anxiety, trauma, and stress from life changes, including perimenopause and midlife shifts

This Might Be You

You’re the one everyone relies on, but, internally, you're running on empty.

From the outside, you're seen as someone who shows up. Follows through. Gets things done. And you make it look seamless.

But inside...

  • You can't turn off your brain
  • You're constantly on edge and mentally exhausted
  • You overthink and replay everything
  • You rarely feel like your efforts are good enough
  • You wonder why things feel harder for you than they “should”

You try to push through and manage it on your own, yet things don't change. You're not doing anything wrong. Your internal system is overwhelmed and needs a different kind of support. 

How I Help

This isn't about quick coping strategies and surface-level fixes. 

I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. You approach life in your own unique way - and your therapy should be uniquely tailored to you. 

Together, we'll: 

  • Manage your stress and anxiety without compromising your overall functioning 
  • Reduce emotional exhaustion, burnout, and overwhelm
  • Move past trauma (recent and longstanding)
  • Break free from patterns that no longer serve you
  • Learn to manage life transitions and identity shifts with ease

This work goes beyond surface-level coping. It focuses on understanding what’s driving your patterns—and helping your system actually process and shift them. 

Milissa Aronson, LCSW

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and life transitions, such as menopause and perimenopause.

My work integrates insight-oriented therapy with approaches that support nervous system.

I specialize in working with individuals who are high-functioning on the outside but internally overwhelmed—and ready for deeper, meaningful change.

If things aren’t shifting despite your effort, there’s a reason—and it’s something we can work through together. 

You don't have to keep pushing through alone! 

In-person and telehealth sessions are offered. In-person appointments are offered in New Providence. The office is within walking distance of the Murray Hill train station and just a short drive from downtown Summit.
