Growth requires loss.
You can’t become someone new while defending the habits that are keeping you stuck

Office Closed April 3rd to 14th

Warm greetings, and heartfelt holiday wishes to all who are celebrating meaningful and sacred occasions during this special time across different faiths and traditions.

We wanted to let you know that our office will be closed from April 3rd through April 14th.

During this time, we will continue to review messages and emails once daily in the evening and will respond as able, prioritizing time sensitive matters. Routine administrative items such as paperwork, forms, letters, and other non urgent requests will be addressed when we return.

You can continue to stay connected with us through the Empath Well App, available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. As a reminder, medication refill requests should be submitted through the app rather than by email or text to help ensure they are processed appropriately.

If you find yourself needing more immediate support during this time, we encourage you to seek care through urgent resources such as calling 911 or going to your nearest emergency room. You may also reach out to us, and we will do our best to guide you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we take this time to rest and recharge.

All Our Best,

Empath Psychiatry

Take Action & Support Bill S1983 / A944 Eliminating Practice Restrictions for Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs)

New legislation — Bills S1983 & A944 — would remove outdated restrictions and allow nurse practitioners like me to provide care more efficiently and independently, just like in 27 other states.

This change is vital for improving access to care in New Jersey, and it may directly affect Empath Psychiatry's ability to continue offering the services you rely on.

Please consider signing the petition to support this important step for healthcare in NJ.

Greetings All!

As the holiday season unfolds, I find myself reflecting on the past year and the incredible strength and resilience I've seen in all of you. This year has brought a mix of challenges and triumphs—moments that may have tested your spirit and others that filled your heart with joy. I feel privileged to walk alongside you during these times and to share in your journey.

The holidays can be a time of celebration, connection, and warmth, but they can also bring reminders of loss, pain, or unmet expectations. It’s okay to feel a range of emotions during this season. Whatever this time means for you, I want you to know that your feelings are valid, and you are not alone.

Amid the complexities of this season, I hope you find moments of peace and joy, whether in the quiet reflection of a winter’s night, the laughter of loved ones, or the small traditions that bring you comfort. I encourage you to take this time to care for yourself—rest, reconnect, and recharge.

As we look ahead to the new year, I wish for you a fresh start filled with hope, health, and opportunities for growth. No matter what lies ahead, I believe in the fortitude of the human spirit and the ability to overcome challenges, especially when we reach out for help when we're at our maximum.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. It is truly an honor to work with you. I look forward to continuing this journey with you in the coming year.

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a blessed New Year!

Best Regards,

Salman Abouzied, NNP
