Ocean County has been hit hard by the Jersey Shore Opioid Crisis, and our therapists are no strangers to treating comorbid conditions. Addiction rarely comes alone. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues are just some of the struggles that people face when battling addiction. Lifebulb’s Toms River therapists work with local organizations like Bright Harbor Healthcare or the Preferred Behavioral Health Group to provide continued care outside of intensive care.

Our community is home to many aging families and seniors. While the Shore makes a great place to come and retire, late-life transitions like grief, medical diagnosis, stress, and isolation in local adult communities like Holiday City can put a damper on the later stages of life. Lifebulb’s Toms River therapists work extensively with older populations to help navigate these transitions and ensure quality mental health care.

Ocean County is also home to many veterans and first responders, both of whom are more at risk for experiencing trauma and developing PTSD. Trauma-informed care is important when serving these populations who have already given so much for our community.

You will have direct email and phone access to your therapist, who will make their best effort to be available to you when you reach out. Depending on your specific treatment plan, your therapist may provide you with resources to use or contact when situations occur beyond the scope of your online therapy or offline therapy work together.
