Mental Health Practice – Central Therapy
Central Therapy maintains clinical office locations in Highland Park, New Jersey; Brooklyn, New York; and Frederick, Maryland, giving the practice a multi-state presence across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The practice is co-owned and operated by Jeremy Lichtman, PsyD, and Simi Lichtman, LCSW. The broader clinical team listed on the site includes Dr. Matt Choquette, Dr. Sara Ben-Zvi, Aayesha Alvi, Chana Scherman, Michelle Fogel-Jimenez, and Karen Weldler, reflecting a multi-clinician group structure.
Evidence-based treatment is a stated priority of the practice. Therapeutic modalities offered include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Services span individual therapy, couples therapy, and sport psychology consultation, serving a range of presenting concerns across those formats.
Clinical specialty areas include anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, Tourette syndrome, depressive disorders, self-injury, suicidal ideation, and couples therapy. The practice’s stated mission is to ensure that every client receives evidence-based mental health treatment in the form best suited to their individual needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all model. The multi-modal therapeutic framework, which spans CBT, DBT, and EFT, supports that individualized approach.
Central Therapy describes itself as a safe and welcoming space for LGBTQ+ clients and affirms a commitment to serving individuals from diverse racial, religious, and cultural backgrounds, as well as people of varying abilities, body types, and countries of origin. This stated commitment to inclusivity is reflected in the multi-location structure of the practice, which allows clients in multiple states to access care from the same clinical team. Payment options include insurance and self-pay arrangements. Low-cost therapy is also noted as available for clients who qualify, reflecting an effort to make services accessible across income levels.
