The practice’s copyright notice indicates it was established in 2023.
Be Balanced Wellness describes its approach as holistic and personalized, offering therapy and coaching services from a licensed clinical social worker alongside tutoring from a certified teacher. The combination of clinical and educational services suggests a practice designed to serve clients navigating intersecting academic, behavioral, and mental health challenges.
Specialty areas and populations addressed include trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and life transitions. The practice’s stated aim is to support clients in building healthier habits, improving relationships, and creating lasting change within a supportive, judgment-free space.
Sessions are conducted in-person from the Rutherford, New Jersey office. No mention of telehealth availability or specific therapeutic modalities such as CBT, EMDR, or DBT appears on the site’s main page. The site does not name specific insurance plans accepted on the homepage, directing clients to a separate insurance page within the website navigation for those details.
Contact is available at info@be-balanced-wellness.com. The practice also maintains an Instagram presence under the handle @bebalancedwellness_therapy. No phone number is listed on the homepage.
The pairing of licensed clinical social work with certified tutoring differentiates Be Balanced Wellness from a conventional therapy-only setting, positioning it as a resource for clients, particularly those with ADHD or ASD, who may benefit from coordinated mental health and academic support in a single practice location.
