About Innerspace Counseling, LLC

Innerspace Counseling is an outpatient treatment program for children, adolescents and adults in Old Bridge, New Jersey. They treat a variety of mental conditions and behavioral issues. In addition to these, this program also helps with school and work related issues.

Their children’s program offers counseling services to children between the ages of eight and 11. Children enrolled in this program meet weekly with a therapist and psychiatrist. They like to work together with the children’s family to create a path to success. They also offer parent support groups to create a sense of community.

They offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) to both adolescents and adults that focus on mental health and behavioral concerns. For adolescents, this program is designed for those 12 years and older. Their adult program is set up similar to the adolescent program. Their IOP programming is offered three times a week, and the PHP program is a five day a week commitment. These programs are more intensive than just basic outpatient treatment. You will have access to therapy, medication services and case management.

They also offer additional services such as a Perinatal Wellness Program and educational training programs. The Perinatal Wellness Program is set up to include PHP and IOP treatment options. This is designed to help pregnant or postpartum parents who are struggling with mental health issues. Innerspace Counseling is also able to provide education and training services to school and community providers to help individuals deal with emotional and mental health issues.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient

Clients often enter inpatient rehab following detox, but they may also enroll during early recovery or at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient rehabs provide housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision, allowing clients to focus exclusively on their recovery in a highly structured and supportive environment. Clients typically receive multiple individual, group, and/or family therapy sessions weekly. Many programs also offer extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative inpatient rehabs provide holistic therapies as well.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients who are exiting inpatient rehab, those who are experiencing crisis, and those who prefer to live at home while in treatment typically enroll in intensive inpatient programs (IOP). These programs feature frequent and robust care, generally requiring clients to participate in at least nine hours of care weekly, though many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 treatment hours per week. IOP services typically combine individual, group, and family counseling with recovery education and holistic therapies.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term, intensive outpatient option designed for those with moderate to severe addictions who don't require 24-hour care. PHP treatment is often fully covered by insurance and provides structured programming (i.e. individual and group therapy). A typical partial hospitalization program can meet 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 20 hours, offering intensive treatment during the day while allowing you to return home after. PHP treatment duration can vary based on your progress but averages 90 days.

Medically Assisted Detox

A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off addictive substances. When you become physically dependent on alcohol or drugs, quitting abruptly can cause a host of challenging and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals will be on hand to monitor any symptoms, to provide medication if possible, and to help keep you as safe and as comfortable as possible throughout this process.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Group therapy settings offer you a diverse perspective on addiction and recovery. People from a variety of backgrounds gather together to discuss their challenges and speak openly and in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. This enriches your experience and your understanding of addiction and recovery.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy provides a structure to approach healing from past traumatic events that you may have witnessed or experienced. Your therapist will work with you to identify and process these memories. This helps promote a sense of safety and stability and helps you heal emotionally.

Most experts in couples therapy are trained in several modes of treatment. This allows your therapist to draw from various techniques to personalize your therapy for your needs. This may include cognitive, emotional, and behavioral methods, which are all designed to help you strengthen your relationship.

Family therapy sessions address addiction related conflicts and other issues between members of the family unit. By strengthening communication and coping skills, as well as creating a nurturing environment, the family can help support their loved one's recovery.

Honestly it s a really nice place. But the psychiatrist is actually horrific and should never be working with people with Complex mental illness. I didn t end up graduating from the program because of that psychiatrist. a week before I was about to graduate I ran out of my medication but the other psychiatrist I was seeing with them was not there. (Before switching to this psychiatrist I was seeing the really horrible one) I demanded a switch because the other psychiatrist treated me like I m not a human. I was not made aware I was gonna be pulled into a zoom call with that therapist. She accuse me of overtaking my medication which was not true cause someone gives me my medication. She was not buying that and I started to cry after the call. I was very firm with the program that this is extremely unprofessional to accuse of something like that which wasn t even possible for me to do. I decided to drop out. I had good experiences in the past with them but this psychiatrist tainted this whole experience/ facility and I do not recommend anyone coming here

To all mental health professionals, medical practitioners, and support group members I interacted with during my tenure at Innerspace Counseling:Please accept my deepest gratitude as I try to attempt to find a brief and impactful way to explain the lasting impact you have all had on my life. (Hold on because we all know it is not going to brief).In a very shortened version of what brought me to Innerspace I struggled severely with a lengthly fight with the battle of insecurities of myself. That caused me to fall into an extremely deep, scary, life altering depression. With the depression, anxiety decided to come for the ride. Which unfortunately brought a lot of moments back to life that I never realized were reasons I was in need of a strong, open-minded, caring, patient, understanding treatment team to help me get my life back on track. On top of figuring out how to not be scared to be a 29 year old, who identifies as non-binary.My story with Innerspace begins at the age of 18 in 2014.. where not only was it my first experience with learning about how important mentally being ok is key to living a healthy, balanced life. It also was scary because that s the age, where we are expected to have everything figured out. At least, that s what I thought. Until I was introduced to every single person that either has worked for Innerspace, continues to work for Innerspace, and the strongest group of people I had the pleasure to attend the Partial and IOP programs alongside with.To say I was scared is an understatement. I didn t know how to life right and I still don t. None of us do. That s apart of being human. That s something I would have never been able to have realized without all of your support.I always wanted to be the person to crack the code of what normal is. It drove me insane the fact I couldn t figure out how to manage my life. How to ask for help. How to say I wasn t ok.The most important lesson I took and will take with my forever from Innerspace Counseling is, there is no normal . We re all unique in our own way.For years, I barracked my struggles inside of my head, which caused me to have a very difficult time managing my emotions. I thought no one understood me. I thought enough. I thought I was burden. I thought I didn t deserve happiness. I thought I didn t deserve to have the privilege of having a chance to experience the positive side of life.With the help of each and every single one of you all the way from the start of my journey through this weird, chaotic, life of mine I would like to take this time to tell you, that you all are a major reason I m still here today.It is with great pleasure that I want to share with you, that today August 24, 2024 I woke up, looked in the mirror and saw me for the first time in a long time. Not only that, but I looked at myself and saw a smile I forgot existed and confidently and proudly can say, told myself how proud of myself I am of myself.Heather, Dr. Kochhar, Courtney, Ajita, Jodi, Taylor, Gabby, Lauren, Dr. Vyas, Lola, Dr. Platt, Grace, Kristen, Anthony, Francesca from the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me learn coping skills to be where I am at this very moment.To Dani:In a very short thank you You will never understand what you have done for me. Thank you for not only being the stepping stone for me to start my life, but for being the reason I am here today.I can finally sit here and proudly tell you I understand that my life is worth living.I am capable.I am loved.I am worthy.I didn t do this alone.This was a team effort.Thank you for never giving up on me when I wanted so badly to give up on myself.We did this.All of us.I don t have everything figured out and I know I never will but because of each and every single one of you, I can t wait to see what life has in store for me.I am #1 for the first time ever on the list on my priorities.Thank you.Thank you.Thank you.

I cant even begin to express how helpful the staff at Innerspace was. Each and every therapist there were some of the kindest, and most compassionate people. I attended the Adult IOP program and I learned a lot. The program itself was great, even in some of the more heavy topics that need to be addressed, they made it feel not so overwhelming and were very understanding if you needed to step out and regain composure during those heavy topics. The groups themselves were also very engaging but were also very understanding if you didnt feel comfortable sharing. The Individual therapists that you work with were all so caring, and were very good at breaking down the things that were troubling me. We worked on many things to help aid the struggles I was facing and I can confidently say I can handle them going forward. All in all, I highly recommend this program for people who are struggling with their mental health. The process may take time but it is absolutely worth it in the long run. Thank you Innerspace for all the care you've given me.

I was referred to Innerspace Counseling due to overwhelming stress /burnout due to work and family issues. As difficult it was to realize I needed help, the PHP/IOP programs were life-changing for me. The therapists rotated running the groups; each therapist was knowledgeable about DBT and created a safe, welcoming environment. The support and feedback I received from other members in the group was a critical part of my progressing in the program. I looked forward to meeting with my individual therapist, Taylor, who encouraged and supported me throughout my time at Innerspace. I am grateful to the staff and the group members who helped me through the most difficult time of my life..

Maryanne, thank you so much for your 5-star review of Innerspace Counseling! We strive to create long term wellness for every client that walks through our doors and we are happy to hear you had a positive experience in our mental health IOP and PHP programs. Wishing you all the best!

After a mental health crisis I went to Innerspace. It was the best help I could possibly hope to receive. The staff are all friendly and welcoming. The fellow clients are also very supportive of one another. Innerspace is also hands on helpful with what you need and work with you in your journey. I couldn t have gotten this far without them! Thank you Innerspace for helping me heal and find my aftercare therapist!

Not that bad of a place but I did have some problems throughout my time at Innerspace. My therapist was extremely helpful and very sweet, she made my experience so much better. If I didn t have her as a therapist, I so would have went to Princeton house since my friend recommended them. The Psychiatrist here is kinda passive aggressive, she came off blunt and just asks you questions, almost seems like she doesn t care. I was set to leave in December but ended up getting pushed to February, I m assuming they thought I needed more care even though I personally thought I was much better. There have been multiple times I tried to leave this program because I wanted to go back to one on one therapy and didn t need the extensive group sessions, I had different numbers calling me saying that would be avoiding medical instructions, and basically gaslit me into staying and made me feel bad. I also got random charges with no receipts, one time it was $800 and no email or anything explaining what days it covered or even on their portal, you sign up and there s literally nothing on it. My mom found it very sketchy, wish I listened to her. But this place did help me minus all of the negatives, I think it was more so the medication that helped me which you can get easily without being in a program.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting your positive outcome and your experience with the therapist. We re so glad to see you progressing and achieving your wellness goals.
