Counseling for Individuals, Couples and Caregivers

It takes courage to reach out for help and work through difficult, stressful issues in your life and in your relationships. Seeking therapy is an important step in making positive change. Thank you for visiting the Relationship Institute of New Jersey in your search.

My name is Patrick Connelly. I am the founder of the Relationship Institute. I am in my 26th year of being a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Through the Relationship Institute, I offer high quality, compassionate psychotherapy to increase your ability to live in healthy, productive and satisfying ways.

I provide effective, evidence-based treatment for individuals (mainly adults), couples, and caregivers to assist them in gaining a fresh perspective and identifying solutions to meet their personal goals. Through therapy, I can aid you in reducing feelings of anxiety, stress, depression, and other problematic issues and patterns in your life and relationships.

If you’re looking for therapeutic support and guidance through a challenging situation or to move in a new life direction, call me at 609-780-3570 for a counseling appointment. You can also email me at pat@relationship-institute-nj.com.  

In the case of a mental health emergency/crisis, please reach out for immediate help by calling or texting 988 or chatting at 988lifeline.org. Alternatively, you can call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Clinical Supervision, Consultation/Education and Courses
