Bob Jaskiewicz, L.C.S.W.    I extend a warm welcome to you. I am a psychotherapist and co-owner of Montclair Health Associates. The goal of my education and training has been diversity, respect for individual needs, providing a therapeutic and healing environment for as many life problems as possible, and includes: a Masters degree from New York University; on-going education at the Schema Therapy Institute in New Jersey; Psychoanalytic training at the Institute for Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy; Couples Work training at the Relational Recovery Institute in Cambridge; from the EMDR Institute- training for treatment of trauma; and, clinical hypnosis specialization and certification from the Milton Erickson Institute and the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), a worldwide organization of health care professionals using clinical hypnosis.

I have presented classes utilizing hypnosis for trauma, pain management, sports peak performance, anxiety reduction, quitting addictions, especially smoking, and improved sleep. I work with the Red Cross, actively on-call to respond to traumatic and critical incidents. I have trained graduate students to be therapists and taught graduate-level psychology classes at Rutgers University, including a study of anxiety disorders in the class The Psychology of Anxiety, which I developed. I work with people on many issues including relationships, attachment problems, depression, trauma, anxiety, panic, phobias, happiness training, East-West methods of mental health, including Mindfulness- and beyond, and mind-body health issues, especially emotional eating and weight management.
