About her

Meet the director

My name is Miriam Rosario and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of New Jersey, holding a Master’s degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling from Neumann University. I am dedicated to supporting PIP patients through providing compassionate and effective therapy to help them navigate the emotional and psychological challenges following an injury. With extensive experience in working with individuals recovering from accidents and injuries, I understand the unique struggles that come with physical trauma. I employ psychotherapy, biofeedback, and hypnotherapy principles to listen deeply, process the trauma of the accident, and create a safe therapeutic environment. I am trained in Modern Psychoanalysis, EMDR and EMI for trauma, as well as Ericksonian Hypnotherapy for anxiety, stress, trauma, and phobias. My bilingual capabilities allow me to offer therapy in both English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for a diverse range of clients. At Pressman and Associates, we believe in the power of transformation, inspiring a journey and an unwavering dedication to mental health. Let Pressman and Associates inspire you to take the first step towards a brighter, more balanced future.

Our goal is to help individuals mentally heal from the trauma of the accident through building resilience and re-cultivating a more meaningful life. Our Vision at Pressman and Associates is focused on helping personal injury patients heal and recover towards living an optimal, normal life.

Our professional services

Individual Psychotherapy

A journey of self-discovery and growth. Individual therapy provides a space for conversation, exploration of emotions, and the development of strategies to overcome life adjustment challenges.

Online therapy

While in-person psychotherapy offers unique benefits, we understand that life can present challenges. That’s why, at Pressman and Associates, we provide the flexibility of telemedicine. Whether you're at home or in a private, convenient location, our telemedicine services ensure you can access the support you need. With modern technologies, we make professional care and assistance accessible no matter where you are.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback involves using electronic monitoring devices to measure physiological functions such as heart rate, muscle tension, and brain waves. Patients receive real-time feedback on these functions and learn to control them through relaxation techniques and mental exercises. It's often used to treat conditions like anxiety, chronic pain, hypertension, and migraines by helping patients gain control over their physiological responses. During a session, a sensor(s) is/are attached to the body, and the patient is shown data on a screen. They practice techniques to alter their physiological responses, and the feedback helps them understand what works.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness, or trance. In this state, patients are more open to suggestions and can work on changing behaviors, thoughts, and feeling.It's commonly used for issues like smoking cessation, weight loss, phobias, trauma and stress management. It can also help with pain control and improving sleep.A hypnotherapist guides the patient into a trance-like state using verbal cues and imagery. Once in this state, the therapist makes suggestions aimed at helping the patient achieve their therapeutic goals. ____________________________________________________Key Differences• Tools: Biofeedback relies on electronic devices to provide feedback, while hypnotherapy uses verbal guidance and imagery.• Focus: Biofeedback focuses on controlling physiological functions, whereas hypnotherapy targets subconscious thoughts and behaviors.• Active vs. Passive: Biofeedback requires active participation in controlling physiological responses, while hypnotherapy involves a more passive state of focused attention.
