Taking Care Therapy is a private psychotherapy practice based in Cresskill, New Jersey, serving adults throughout Bergen County and virtually across New Jersey.

Founder and therapist Lisa Medico, LCSW specializes in helping adults experiencing anxiety, generalized anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, chronic stress, perfectionism, burnout, and overthinking. Her approach is practical, compassionate, and evidence-based, with an emphasis on helping clients build tolerance for uncertainty, reduce reassurance-seeking, strengthen self-trust, and create sustainable coping strategies.

Treatment approaches may include Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation techniques. Treatment is individualized to each client's goals and life circumstances.

The philosophy of Taking Care Therapy is that taking care of yourself is not something you earn after everything else gets done. Therapy is designed to help clients respond differently to anxiety, reconnect with themselves, and build lives that feel calmer, more intentional, and more manageable.
