The Institute for Personal Growth
With three New Jersey offices — Jersey City, Highland Park and Freehold — IPG has 24 trained, NJ-licensed psychotherapists, with over 400 combined years of experience, and a wide range of specialties and expertise. In addition to traditional therapy for common issues like depression, anxiety, grief, and couples or marriage counseling, we also offer a slew of more specialized types of therapy that most therapists do not. Among these are: LGBTQ+ issues, including trans/GNC youth; EMDR therapy for trauma/PTSD and other issues; sex therapy for both couples and individuals; eating disorders; Alternative Types of Therapy; and more.
We work with couples and individuals, children, teens, and families, and our therapists will coordinate with other healthcare professionals when appropriate. We offer flexible times throughout the week, and the sheer number of therapists and specialties at IPG means we can almost certainly find a therapist who meets your needs.
IPG has been a leading provider in New Jersey of expert, compassionate psychotherapy and counseling since 1983. Our highly skilled, NJ-licensed therapists can help you, whether your concerns are the result of temporary life stresses or the symptoms of deeper concerns.
Questions about insurance? We can work with many insurance plans, and our friendly and experienced office staff will check your insurance benefits for you and help you navigate them. If your insurance does cover us, we submit claims on your behalf and simply collect the copay from you, so you don’t have to deal with the red tape and hassle of insurance claims, or wait for reimbursement. (We’ll do all that!)

Lastly, check out this TEDx Talk given by our founder, Dr. Margaret NIchols, PhD, on gender diversity and the gender spectrum:
It was almost exactly 2 years ago today that IPG was featured on Lifetime TV show “The Balancing Act”, hosted by the one and only Montel Williams! The segment focuses on the destigmatization of mental health, the importance of reaching out for help when you need it, and IPG’s history of working with the LGBTQ+ community.
