Nesivos Behavioral Health's style

About Nesivos Behavioral Health

Nesivos Behavioral Health was founded to address the pressing need for culturally sensitive mental health services within the Jewish community of Lakewood, New Jersey, and its surrounding areas. Recognizing that individuals seeking care often had to travel far to find services that aligned with their values, Nesivos established a local facility that integrates professional mental health treatment with a deep respect for Jewish traditions. With over 25 years of experience, the organization is dedicated to providing accessible, high-quality care that honors the cultural and religious sensitivities of its clients. The philosophy of Nesivos centers on a holistic approach to mental health, emphasizing the importance of family involvement and community support. By offering a comprehensive suite of services—including case management, mentorship, family support groups, and post-discharge follow-up care—Nesivos ensures that clients receive continuous and personalized support throughout their healing journey. This commitment to comprehensive care reflects their belief that successful mental health treatment extends beyond individual therapy to encompass the broader social and familial context.

Programs and services offered at Nesivos Behavioral Health

Nesivos Behavioral Health provides a range of programs tailored to meet diverse mental health needs. Their Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) are designed for individuals requiring structured support for addiction, substance abuse, and other mental health challenges. These programs offer a blend of individual, group, and family therapy sessions, along with psychiatric care and medication management, ensuring a comprehensive treatment approach. In addition to traditional therapy modalities, Nesivos incorporates specialized treatments such as Progressive Counting, EMDR Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and the Flash Technique. These evidence-based practices are aimed at facilitating transformative change and addressing trauma-related issues. Furthermore, the organization offers ancillary services like yoga, art therapy, animal therapy, kickboxing, and baking, providing clients with diverse avenues for self-expression and healing.

Jewish Community Experience

Understanding the unique needs of the Jewish community, Nesivos Behavioral Health ensures that all services are delivered in a manner that respects and incorporates Jewish traditions and practices. This cultural sensitivity is evident in their provision of glatt kosher meals, accommodations for religious observances, and the integration of cultural values into therapeutic practices. By creating an environment that honors their clients' cultural and religious identities, Nesivos fosters a sense of safety and trust, which is essential for effective mental health treatment within the Jewish community. Moreover, Nesivos emphasizes the importance of family involvement in the treatment process, recognizing that healing is most effective when it encompasses the entire family unit. Through family support groups and educational workshops, they empower parents, spouses, and siblings with the tools to navigate their loved one's challenges, fostering a supportive community that extends beyond the individual client.
