Wruble, M.D. and the Venn Center: Using Psychiatry, Psychology and Education to Promote Mental Health and Human Development he Venn Center, located at 1250 East Ridgewood Avenue in Ridgewood, offers tailored mental health services designed to fit the needs of each individual. Executive Medical Director Dr. Wruble says passionately, “Our goal is to educate and empower people to build the lives they want.” Board-certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry, Dr. Wruble has provided services to individuals, couples, families, and groups in Northern New Jersey and Manhattan for over 15 years. He conducts psychiatric evaluations and assessments, provides psychotherapy to clients of all ages, and offers pharmacotherapy and medication management when necessary. Among his therapeutic specializations are working with children and adults who deal with attention problems such as ADHD and all forms of anxiety disorders. In addition, Dr. Wruble provides treatment for those who suffer the effects of mood instability and trauma. He is a provider of cutting-edge trauma-therapies including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) and Somatic Experiencing. In addition, Dr. Wruble was the first provider in Northern New Jersey to offer Cogmed Working Memory Training, the only clinically proven, non-medicinal intervention designed to improve working memory, which is the major factor in people with attention deficits. Evidence T Steven J. Wruble, M.D. and Michelle Pearlman, Ph.D. shows that 8 out of 10 children who have completed training show measurable results -- most with significant improvements in attentiveness, complex reasoning skills, and controlling impulsive behavior. When asked one year after training to report on their experience, 79% of parents whose children had benefitted from training reported that positive effects had remained or increased. Dr. Wruble avoids using medication when non-medicinal interventions work as well, or even better. This philosophy helps empower clients to work through the issues that concern them. This core concept, along with meeting each client where they are, has helped hundreds achieve the goals that they want for themselves. Michelle Pearlman, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist, who specializes in helping people live their best lives while learning from difficult experiences. “I want to help transform those troubling events into resources that help patients move forward in a healthy and enriched way,” she explains. Dr. Pearlman specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults to manage anxiety and stress. She also has advanced training in working with parents of young children about how to set up a positive family environment and reduce problem behavior. Dr. Pearlman also works with individuals and families facing grief following the loss of a loved one through death, as well as feelings of loss that can accompany situations such as divorce, a change in family or career, or the diagnosis of a medical condition. Dr. Pearlman practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a therapeutic strategy that has been proven effective through scientific research to treat many forms of anxiety and other problems. She works with children and adults to better cope with a wide range of problems and issues. CBT is usually short-term, goal-oriented, and focused on working to resolve presentday problems in a step-by-step fashion. In addition to her private practice work at the Venn Center, she is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine.
