Therapy that Builds Legacy
Welcome to Jaded Hearts – Center for Healing
Every family has a story. Some chapters you want to cherish, others you’re ready to rewrite. Whether it’s giving your child a creative outlet, helping your teen find their voice, reconnecting as a couple, or ending generational patterns that you don't want to pass on — we’re here for it all. Our holistic approach — blending talk therapy, art and creative expression, and whole-person care — helps you create meaningful change now and a legacy of connection, resilience, and joy for the future. Together, we’ll help your family grow stronger now so you can keep that growth going for generations.
From toddlers with big feelings to teens finding their voice, from couples wanting deeper connection to parents ready to break old patterns — we help every part of the family thrive. We believe lasting change happens when the whole family feels supported, and we’re here to guide each member of your family system toward growth, healing, and stronger connection.
Parents and adults come to us to navigate stress, life transitions, and the generational patterns they’re ready to end. Children explore emotions through art. Teens express themselves through journaling, music, and movement. Couples learn to repair and reconnect. Families discover new ways to communicate, repair, and grow together. Many of our clients are high-achieving individuals and families who appear successful on the outside yet quietly yearn for more peace and connection — we provide a confidential, supportive space to explore these challenges without judgment.
Our holistic approach blends talk therapy to process challenges, creative expression to unlock emotions, nutritional guidance to support mood, and movement to restore balance. We also specialize in intergenerational trauma therapy — helping families understand how emotional wounds are passed down and providing tailored interventions to break these cycles so you can build a healthier legacy.
Founder Alexandria Lanza, LPC, LCADC, ATR-BC, ACS brings expertise in substance use disorders and harm-reduction treatment, perinatal and postpartum counseling, child and family psychology, women’s mental health, life transitions, and expressive arts therapy. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy or postpartum challenges, supporting a child or teen through emotional growth, strengthening your relationship, or seeking to end unhealthy generational patterns, our integrative approach honors your story while equipping you with new tools.
Based in Montclair, NJ, we welcome clients across the state for both in-person and secure online sessions.
Break the cycle. Build your legacy.
