Larsen Behavioral Wellness

PCIT worked wonders for our family. This program changed our lives. Steve is an amazing therapist! He was so understanding of our many challenges completing this program with a newborn. I could not recommend this program or Steve more.

Dr. Larsen is an incredible psychologist who is highly trained to work with survivors of trauma. Whether you have developed PTSD or are experiencing other problems as a result of trauma, Dr. Larsen's expertise and empathy will help you to heal those wounds. She is trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure Therapy, which are considered the gold standard treatments for PTSD and trauma. I am proud to call Dr. Larsen my colleague and would trust her with any referral I sent her way.

Dr. Larsen is a very knowledgeable and polished psychologist. She has a lot of experience with children, those with anxiety, OCD and trauma. She is heavily trained and experienced in multiple types of evidence based practices for PTSD including Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She has done an immense amount of research which has been published and is trained in evidence based practices for PTSD including Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Dr. Larsen has the innate ability to be compassionate and empathetic; that coupled with her depth of knowledge makes her a rare find and an asset to our profession. I will continue to refer to her often. Lindsey Jankay, LCSW

Dr. Larsen is a fantastic option for therapeutic services for family and children in Hoboken, NJ, and New York. Dr. Larsen takes a warm and compassionate stance when working with some of life's greatest challenges, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, OCD, child behavioral issues, and more. To my knowledge, she is the only therapist in Hoboken who does Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, whereby she gives parents and children, alike, problem-solving strategies to benefit the family unit. She is also my go-to referral when needing a psycho-educational or psychological evaluation for a child, teen, or young adult. You will be in exceptional hands when working with Dr. Larsen.

Dr. Jessica Larsen is the only psychologist in the Hudson County area I know who does PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy). Jessica is an incredible therapist and kind person to be around. Whether you are looking for help for your kids or yourself- you will be in incredible hands! I highly recommend her services to anyone.

I don't write reviews often, but this one is worth the time because Dr. Larsen is simply phenomenal at what she does. It's rare to find a psychologist with the level of training and deep expertise that she has, and her emphasis on solid research and evidence-based practices (versus whatever is the parenting fad of the moment) gave me a lot of confidence in her approach. She's been instrumental in helping me identify the ways in which I can be the best parent possible using techniques that are practical and immediately applicable, which has so improved communication and reduced stress in our household... and she is just generally such a kind, understanding and wonderful human being. You'll be in good hands, and I can't recommend her practice highly enough.
