Where are you located?
Hearts & Crafts is located in the heart of downtown Ramsey, NJ at 60 E. Main Street in the carriage house. For directions click on Locations on our website navigation bar. Often our familes will extend their time together after support group by grabbing a bite at a local eatery. Parents may have a "mini vacation" over a cup of coffee at Starbucks while their child is in session with Laura. The downtown area is very appealing and makes coming to Hearts & Crafts a special outing.
How is Hearts & Crafts different?
Hearts & Crafts Counseling is located in a charming carriage house, not a sterile environment. We create a home away from home setting for families living with loss; no receptionists or switchboards. Your calls will be answered by a therapist, not a secretary. It is important to us to speak to you directly.
