Comprehensive Care for OCD, Anxiety, and Eating Disorders in Bergen and Monmouth County
Finding specialized treatment for OCD, anxiety, or eating disorders can feel overwhelming, especially when you want care that is both evidence-based and truly individualized. At Clear Light Therapy, we provide comprehensive mental health treatment for individuals and families throughout New Jersey, with a strong presence in Bergen County and Monmouth County.
Our practice was built around one core belief: treatment works best when it is specialized, collaborative, and tailored to the individual.
Specialized OCD Treatment: Gold-Standard ERP
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) requires specialized care. General therapy alone is often not enough. Our clinicians are trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. ERP helps individuals gradually face feared thoughts, images, or situations while resisting compulsions and safety behaviors that keep the cycle going.
We provide:
In-office exposures
Community-based exposures
Telehealth exposures when appropriate
Family guidance and parent support
Many clients we work with travel from Bergen County towns such as Franklin Lakes, Saddle River, Ridgewood, Tenafly, Alpine, Englewood Cliffs, and Upper Saddle River because they are seeking highly specialized OCD care. In Monmouth County, we frequently support individuals and families from towns including Rumson, Fair Haven, Colts Neck, Holmdel, Little Silver, Red Bank, and Middletown.
OCD is treatable but it requires expertise, structure, and accountability. That is what we provide.
Eating Disorder Treatment with Advanced Training
Eating disorders are complex medical and psychological conditions that require informed, multidisciplinary care. Our clinicians have completed advanced training through the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals (IAEDP), ensuring we are grounded in evidence-based eating disorder treatment principles.
We treat:
Anorexia nervosa
Bulimia nervosa
Binge eating disorder
ARFID
Disordered eating and chronic dieting
We offer meal support sessions, both in-office and virtually, to help clients practice normalized eating in real time. We also coordinate with dietitians, primary care physicians, and psychiatrists as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
For clients in Bergen County towns such as Wyckoff, Demarest, Cresskill, and Ho-Ho-Kus — and Monmouth County communities like Spring Lake, Sea Girt, and Manasquan — access to specialized eating disorder care close to home can be life-changing.
Anxiety Treatment Using ACT and Evidence-Based Approaches
Anxiety disorders often overlap with OCD and eating disorders. We integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into our work, helping clients:
Build psychological flexibility
Reduce rumination
Tolerate uncertainty
Move toward values instead of fear
ACT is particularly effective for high-achieving professionals, adolescents under pressure, and individuals in competitive academic or work environments — which we commonly see in Bergen and Monmouth County communities.
A Collaborative, Team-Based Approach
What sets Clear Light Therapy apart is our commitment to collaboration and excellence. Our clinicians participate in ongoing:
Supervision
Advanced training
Case consultation
Peer collaboration
We do not work in isolation. We work as a team to ensure every client receives thoughtful, well-informed care.
Each treatment plan is individualized and unique. We do not use cookie-cutter protocols. Instead, we assess your symptoms, strengths, goals, and environment to create a plan that fits you.
Coordinated Care and Referral Network
Comprehensive care means knowing when additional support is needed.
If you require:
A psychiatrist for medication management
A registered dietitian
Medical monitoring
OCD residential treatment
Eating disorder partial hospitalization or residential care
We help facilitate those referrals through our trusted professional network. We assist with coordination so that transitions between levels of care feel supported and seamless.
Flexible Treatment Options
We offer:
In-office therapy
Structured exposure sessions
Meal support
Telehealth therapy
Hybrid care models
Whether you are located in northern Bergen County or along the Jersey Shore in Monmouth County, we strive to make specialized care accessible.
Why Families Choose Clear Light Therapy
Families and individuals in high-income Bergen and Monmouth County communities often seek treatment that is:
Evidence-based
Specialized
Private and professional
Collaborative
Results-oriented
Our approach meets those expectations while remaining compassionate and grounded.
Recovery from OCD, anxiety, or an eating disorder is not about eliminating discomfort entirely. It is about building resilience, flexibility, and the ability to live according to your values — even in the presence of uncertainty.

Do you coordinate with psychiatrists and dietitians?
Absolutely. If you need medication management or nutritional support, we connect you with trusted professionals and coordinate care.

If symptoms require residential or partial hospitalization treatment for OCD or an eating disorder, we help coordinate referrals and support you through the transition.
Do you offer meal support?
