About Ocean County, NJ
Ocean County, positioned along the Jersey Shore in the south-central area of New Jersey, has experienced rapid growth since 1990 and is now known for its array of tourist attractions.
These include popular beachfront destinations such as Seaside Heights, Long Beach Island, and Point Pleasant Beach, alongside the renowned Six Flags Great Adventure, home to Kingda Ka, the world's tallest and second-fastest roller coaster. Additionally, Ocean County serves as a gateway to the Pine Barrens, a significant expanse of protected land on the East Coast.
In terms of mental health, Ocean County has recognized the need for increased mental health services and support, particularly in response to the stresses and challenges faced by its growing, diverse population. This has created a need for accessible mental health services, a need that Innerspace Counseling aims to meet for Ocean County, NJ residents, including children, adolescents, adults, and perinatal individuals.

Our programs support people facing severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, anger issues, mood disorders, school refusal, relationship challenges, self-harm risk, and other complex mental health concerns.
