About Us

Our Story: A Modern Approach to Mental Health Care

Nova Mental Health was founded with a clear purpose: to create a mental health center where clients are truly seen and supported. Too often, individuals seeking help feel rushed, unheard, or misunderstood. We wanted to change that.

Our founders brought together a team of clinicians who share a unified vision—care that is personal, client-centered, and grounded in clinical excellence. Today, Nova Mental Health is known throughout Bergen County and North Jersey as a trusted provider of outpatient mental health treatment, offering a safe and welcoming space for individuals and families.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals to take control of their mental well-being through compassionate, evidence-based treatment. We help clients build emotional resilience, develop healthier relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Every step of your journey is guided by the core values that define our care:

  • Compassion — We meet you with kindness and understanding.

  • Clinical Excellence — Our treatments are research-backed and results-driven.

  • Respect — Your voice, experiences, and goals matter.

  • Integrity — We uphold the highest standards in mental health care.

  • Collaboration — Healing happens when we work together.

Our Treatment Philosophy

Care That Meets You Where You Are

At Nova Mental Health, we know that no two paths to healing are alike. Our approach is built on three pillars:

1

Personalized, Evidence-Based Treatment

Every client receives a customized plan that blends proven therapeutic approaches with individual goals, strengths, and preferences.

2

A Safe and Supportive Environment

Healing starts with feeling heard. We offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, develop coping skills, and rebuild confidence.

3

Holistic, Long-Term Wellness

We focus on more than symptom management—we help clients develop lifelong tools for emotional balance, stability, and fulfillment.
