Quantum Psychotherapy Group is a holistic psychotherapy group that treats adults, adolescents and couples, owned by psychotherapist Erica Tait, LCSW, LCADC, with locations in Northvale and Montclair. Opened two years ago, they employ eight therapists.

They provide therapy for adults and adolescents, as well as marriage and couples counseling, specializing in anxiety and depression; trauma healing; eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR); spirituality and consciousness; plant medicine preparation and integration; addiction; and dialectical behavior therapy.

Tait says, “I have wanted to be a social worker since I was 12 years old. I’ve always had a deep passion for serving others, even as a child.” A profound near-death experience at age 24 completely transformed the way she related to life. “I fell off a 60-foot cliff while hiking alone and was at the bottom of the cliffs for seven hours, in which I had many experiences that transformed my perception of reality.”

She explains, “I went from being a huge atheist to having an embodied understanding of what being a  spiritual being really means, and all that lies beyond our five senses. This event is what inspired me to incorporate a more spiritual and holistic approach to therapy, and is really at the foundation of Quantum Psychotherapy Group.”

What gives her the most satisfaction is witnessing clients’ journeys not only in healing and relief of suffering, but transforming into their highest potential. “The influences that drive the way I think are my personal experiences, spiritual practices and the experiences of my clients.” Tait affirms. “In the end, the most important thing is how aware and loving we are and to assist in the evolution of consciousness on the planet.”

Her biggest challenge has been learning how to live an empowered life as a highly sensitive person. “Modern society is not built for sensitives, so it has been a huge lesson on the importance of self-care, boundaries and listening to intuition,” she shares. “There is something much greater working through me, and as long I keep surrendering to that, success comes. I’ve learned that the  universe rewards those who are benefiting the whole.”

Tait wants her practice to grow the northern New Jersey community and is looking forward to facilitating more group experiences, saying, “I believe that some of the greatest transformation happens when we come together.”
