Gillian McGrath,LCSW
As a dedicated psychotherapist, I specialize in guiding adults through the complexities of anxiety, trauma, and relationship dynamics, as well as navigating significant life transitions. My expertise includes EMDR therapy, DBR therapy, and Neurofeedback, all tailored to foster healing and personal growth. I proudly serve clients virtually in New Jersey, New York, and Florida, and am a Neurofeedback Therapist in person in Montclair, NJ.
My Approach
Understanding that the initial therapy process can be daunting, I also know it takes immense work and energy just to identify that you want/need an outside ear other than your friends or family, or co-workers. I believe the most important thing in therapy is finding a therapist that you can connect with and trust. Sometimes you need to shop around until you find the right fit. Once that relationship is cultivated, the difficult work can start to take place. It is essential to me to create a therapeutic setting that is non-judgmental and empathic – a safe and confidential place for us to work together.
Therapy is a unique process for each individual. You choose your goals for therapy, and I assist you in successfully working toward meeting them. My approach is an integrated one, inclusive of strengths-based, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and mindfulness strategies. I am direct and supportive with a soft hand.

Client Testimony
“I do really want to thank you for your kindness, patience, and insight during some very difficult (and very joyful!) times over these last few years. I don't know where I'd be if it were not for your support, but I know it would not be in the great space I am now - feeling less anxious on the daily, and more assured in my emotions, choices, boundaries, and life overall. I know that my family, friends, and coworkers also owe you a big thank you! My relationships with them are all the better for our work together.
Client Testimony
"Thank you for all the support the past few years. I am truly a different person than I was. Someone who can now think through problems more logically, look my past problems in the face and forgive myself. Thank you for that and all the tools, EMDR, & overall sessions."
Client Testimony
“I want to thank you so much for all your support. Looking back at my experiences with past therapists, I don't think I truly knew what it meant to be seen and understood until now. I've learned so much about myself over this past year and I know much of that growth is because of the work we've done together.”
