Mary Kalazan, LPC
Holististic Integrative Psychotherapist
Montclair NJ
The most important step towards healing is to acknowledge and address the unresolved emotions inside you. My clients are in search of a deeper understanding of themselves. I truly believe humans have the innate ability to heal by tapping into the answers we already have in our possession. However, there are times in our life when we need an empathic therapist to partner with us to help untangle those emotions and process unresolved traumas. I am privileged and honored to respectfully hold space for you and your story as we untangle the emotions together. I strive to create a warm, nurturing, and safe environment so we can explore authentically and honestly.
Together, we will explore underlying issues, set goals, and work towards emotionally and intellectually understanding what is going on to empower you to heal the emotional wounds and create the life of joy that you deserve and envision for yourself. It is now time for you to live your life without these emotional burdens.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist, and Sound Meditation Facilitator based out of northern New Jersey.
Growing frustrated with the limitations of traditional psychotherapy practices, I knew there had to be more to the healing process than the traditional use of medication and talk therapy. I felt the need to offer my clients more as they embark on their healing journey. Having my own personal paradigm shift over the past few years by integrating a holistic approach to healing, I have now embarked on a united philosophy of mental, physical, and spiritual health that equips my clients with the tools necessary to heal themselves. My daily practice of various forms of meditation all come together to contribute to a unique experience in the therapy room.
I received my Master's in Counseling from Seton Hall University in 2009 and Ed.S. in 2010.
In 2022 I completed three additional trainings through Fluence: Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Theory & Methodology; Harm Reduction and Theory; and Psychedelic Integration: Premise & Promise.
Additionally, I have over 400 hours of Sound Facilitator training (2020-2023).
I have also served as an Adjunct Professor teaching graduate-level courses in the Department of Psychology for both Seton Hall University (2013-2023) and New York University (2017-2022).
I offer both In-Person and Telehealth Services, which allows clients to choose the mode of therapy that best fits their lifestyle and schedule. I offer the flexibility needed for you to receive the help you need on a consistent basis.
I am proud to offer Ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) in my practice. I have partnered with Journey Clinical. Journey Clinical's collaborative care model brings together the medical team, psychotherapist, and client. As a team, we work together to offer you the most supportive care. I am also a trained sound practitioner utilizing beautiful overtone emitting instruments such as gongs, Tibetan singing bowls, chimes, and drums as an adjunctive modality to your healing process.
