Mayya Fleyshmakher , MA, NCC, LPC Founder of  Light Heart – Yoga And Therapy

I am a modern and hip therapist looking to remove the stigma of therapy by making it accessible, solution based, engaging, and luxurious . Therapy shouldn’t be a punishment or a seen as a defeat. Yes of course, we will do hard work and it won’t always be easy, but with 10+ years of experience and education in clinical mental health, I am able to connect with my clients and show them that together we can find a solution. Light Heart Yoga and Therapy is located in Bell Works Labs in Holmdel, with our psychotherapeutic office and yoga studio adjoined to create an essence of pure calm and acceptance for both mind and body. It is my mission to help ALL my clients reach a level of happiness through the use of various mental health evidence based techniques, holistic tools, and absolute positive regard.

Light Heart is a safe haven, where children, teens, adults, families and couples can learn to develop trust, foster confidence in themselves, and look forward to the beautiful psychotherapeutic and yoga process that takes place when we align our hearts. It is a time and place where you are heard, understood and supported. In addition to psychotherapeutic services, clients are welcome to partake in innovate yoga classes that are created not only to address the physical state, but also the state of our overstressed minds and hearts. At Light Heart, we start from the root and work our way to success, making room for a lighter heart. Parents are 100% involved and must participate in their child’s progress and treatment planning, and are always welcome to express themselves and their needs in their child’s therapeutic experience. Adults clients are welcomed with an unbiased and open heart, to finally recognize and work towards their optimal form of self realization and happiness.
