I extend a warm welcome to you. I am the owner and director of Rob Jaskiewicz Psychotherapy Associates, a comprehensive psychological practice utilizing current gold standards in psychotherapeutic interventions. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Rutgers University where I received the designation Henry Rutgers Scholar given for academic excellence and student leadership. I went on to teach at Rutgers after completing graduate school at New York University. My post graduate psychology training was at Harvard University. I have since trained graduate students to be therapists as well as teach graduate-level psychology classes, including the classes I developed: “The Psychology of Anxiety,” “Healthy Personal Relationships,” and, "Psychology East and West" which blends psychological methods of Eastern wellness practices and Western psychological methods.
I have received clinical training and/or hold placements at these institutions: The Institute for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy; the International Society of Schema Therapy; the Center for Integrative Psychotherapy where I earned my certification in advanced levels of Attachment Pathology and my competence to both conduct and score the Adult Attachment Interview; Peak Performance, Positive Psychology, and CCRT- Core Conflict Relational Themes- the gold standard for couples therapy.
I work with people on many issues including repairing and enhancing relationships, intimacy, attachment problems, depression, trauma, anxiety, panic, phobias, positive psychology including Peak Performance, East-West methods of mental health, including Mindfulness and Meditation, and mind-body health issues such as diet, exercise, and sleep disorders improving sleep patterns.
I am devoted to ongoing training and stay involved in the latest scientific developments in empirically supported clinical assessment and treatment. My lifelong goal is to continue bringing the highest standard of practice in these findings into informed care and treatment, utilizing practical, state-of-the-art, highly effective clinical methods with my clients.
I hold certification in Schema Therapy, the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI); I am also certified in Hypnosis through ASCH (American Society of Clinical Hypnosis). With my mentor, Daniel Brown, Ph.D, I have learned specialized skills focus on Peak Performance for academics and athletes, Meditation, Hypnosis and Scene generation protocols for repairing the psychological self in developmental stages, repairing primary insecure attachment leading to securely attached conflict resolution and everyday happiness.
Dan Brown has also been my meditation teacher, along with various Tibetan Lamas including His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and, His Holiness Menri Trizin. Eastern training includes classic Buddhist Mahamudra Lineage [including Dzogschen (Zen)] Meditation. When requested, I have the skills to integrate Eastern mindfulness and meditative techniques along with developmentally-informed Western psychotherapy. This often provides clients with a model to know his/her own mind and reasonably know the mind of others, thus skillfully regulating and resolving both relationship and emotional difficulties.
