About Discovery Psychotherapy Center

Located at East Frederick Place in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, Discovery Psychotherapy Center helps individuals seeking substance use recovery with both individual and group therapy. Private counseling sessions allow clients to work one-on-one with a therapist to address personal struggles and build coping strategies. These sessions provide a safe space to talk openly without judgment. Group therapy is also available which allows clients to connect with others who understand what they’re going through. Being part of a supportive community helps create a sense of belonging and encourages shared healing.

Healing Trauma with EMDR

For those dealing with trauma, the facility offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, or EMDR. This approach helps individuals process painful memories that may contribute to substance use. By lessening the emotional weight of past experiences, EMDR supports healing and makes recovery feel more manageable. I like that this approach can help individuals regain control over their emotions and their lives over time.

Using Art to Process Emotions

Some people process emotions better through creativity, and art therapy provides that opportunity. Clients can use painting, drawing, or other artistic forms to explore their thoughts and feelings. I think it’s neat that this approach allows for self-reflection and healing, especially for those who aren’t comfortable with traditional therapy.
If you’re covered by Aetna, Cigna, or Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, you’re in luck — they accept those insurances. Discovery Psychotherapy Center will collaborate with you to create a treatment plan that best fits your specific needs all while making sure your privacy and confidentiality are handled with the highest level of care and professionalism.

Discovery & Dr. Barker really came through and helped my husband when other therapists had him on a waiting list. Mental health can't wait. I am so thankful for their response to urgency and proving my partner with compassion and a safe space. Thank you!

I went to see Dr. Barker because of depression and suicidal thoughts, that was coupled with my career not going anywhere. He was attentive and gave me strategies to work through thoughts and emotions. He also was communicating during the session (I've had therapists in the past that just say nothing). I love that he challenged my own logic with his own and really pushed me out of my normal spiraling and catastrophizing. 100% would recommend to anyone.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

I love my therapist but the front desk never answers. I’ve had my therapist ask the front desk to call. They never do. Awful I’m so upset and frustrated with this office. Go elsewhere.

I had major confidentiality issues and felt violated with this center after several trusted sessions. Like the previous reviews, there are definitely better facilities in Morristown.

Frequent last minute cancellations by therapist, Stephanie McGee. Voicemails from receptionist with time stamp to prove infractions yet when confronted about the issue said therapist became defensive, confrontational, and stated family emergencies as the reason after the fact. Plenty of better options for mental health services in the area.
