MINDFULLY BALANCED
About Us
Mindfully Balanced NJ is a New Jersey based telehealth practice specializing in the treatment of OCD and anxiety related disorders. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we help clients build a different relationship with intrusive thoughts and difficult feelings rather than trying to eliminate them entirely. You don't have to get rid of every intrusive thought to feel like yourself again. You have to change how you respond to it, so it stops running the show.
Our team brings deep clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every session, offering evidence based, personalized care in both English or Polish. We also believe healing doesn't have to feel heavy all the time, so you'll find real moments of humor and lightness woven into our work together. Whether you're just starting to understand your OCD or have been managing it for years, we're here to help you move toward the life that matters to you, not the one anxiety has been dictating.
OUR FOUNDER
Meet Dr. Anna Urbaniak
Dr. Anna Urbaniak graduated with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. She completed her internship at Veterans Affairs New Jersey Health Care System. Dr. Anna specializes in exposure and response prevention (ERP) treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), prolonged exposure (PE) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), as well as treatment for body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs, such as trichotillomania (hairpulling), excoriation (skin-picking)). She is Telebehavioral Health Institute (TBHI) Certified.
Dr. Anna is greatly passionate about providing evidence-based treatments for various anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, specific phobia, as well as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and insomnia. In her practice, Dr. Anna modifies and combines treatments to the needs of individuals she is working with. She often utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness components in her sessions (as well as humor when appropriate)
Dr. Anna heavily emphasizes on the importance of building a strong collaborative relationship and trust as she recognizes the difficult nature of what some of the treatments may entail. Lastly, as an immigrant, Dr. Anna offers a unique perspective and a supportive environment for discussing diversity and immigration issues. Dr. Anna has spoken at several organizations and conferences, including the NJ Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders, Inc. and the New Jersey Psychological Association.
