Carroll Arkema

I see individual psychotherapy as a chance for clients to learn about themselves and their inner world, and to function more fully at work, at play and in relationships. My name is Carroll Arkema, and I practice as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

My aim is for clients to feel safe in sessions and to be honest with themselves and with me about their emotions. Sessions look at who a client is today and why, the person they hope to become, and what stands in their way, including self-doubt, self-criticism, sadness and fears.

I have studied religion and psychodynamic thinking, which both speak to meaning and relationships. From each, I take elements that help clients recognize impulses that undermine them and use constructive resources within themselves, for a life that is more creative, loving and wholesome.
