Eric Taber
Psy.D
Welcome! My name is Dr. Eric Taber, Licensed Psychologist. I have been a school psychologist for the last several years, administering evaluation for students from K-12. I have also worked privately in my evening hours with couples seeking to foster deeper understanding of each other, and individuals looking for help coping with depression and anxiety. More specifically I offer:
Counseling
In couples counseling, I focus with my clients to work on communication strategies for their relationship(s). Ultimately, the goal of counseling is about rediscovering the connection in the partnership and to make a relationship not only work, but flourish.
With individuals, my clients learn to love and appreciate themselves. After creating a safe space where each individual is able to truly understand what makes them tick, we work on identifying triggers in order to make progress.
Testing
I work with parents and children through several testing/evaluation tools to diagnose and understand a child's true cognitive and educational abilities. Through the testing materials I help families determine if a child meets the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, or testing accommodations.
Most importantly, I believe in treating my clients and their parents with dignity and compassion throughout a stressful process.

About Me:
First and foremost, I am a husband and a dad of 3.
I received my masters degree from St. Johns University, where I studied the theories and methods of psychoeducational assessment. I then received my doctorate degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University. There, I continued to study assessment and also enhanced my therapeutic skills.
I have worked as a school psychologist for 9 years where I assessed countless children and helped ensure they received the most appropriate supports.
In addition to my school experience, I worked with couples whose struggles varied from communication challenges to working on reestablishing their commitment to one another. I also worked with individuals struggling with depression and anxiety.
