Therapists in New Jersey

I value authenticity, empathy, and self-awareness, both for myself, my clients, and as a critical part of the therapeutic process (I also take advantage of the healing power of laughter whenever possible!). I aim to normalize and validate my clients’ experiences without judgment, and above all, provide the most basic of human needs: to feel seen and heard. My name is Stephanie (or Stevie, either is fine) and I have been providing therapy in NJ exclusively via telehealth for about the last 5 years (prior to that, in person). I have a deep passion and respect for the power of therapy to change lives, which I have been privileged to witness in my work with clients, as well as in my personal life, both through the consistent use of therapy as part of my own self-care, as well as having spent the last 20 years raising two children with special needs. If you have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, particularly if they are related to a traumatic experience, I would love the opportunity to work with you to reduce your symptoms and help you experience a present that is not overshadowed by your past. I love working with women ages 20 to 30-something who are still in academia or just starting out in their careers, but also love working with women of any age. I frequently work with survivors of child sexual abuse, as well as those struggling with issues related to self-worth, but work with other conditions as well.

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 27 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth. I work well with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt. As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should be a space where you can be your authentic self—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. My approach is warm, honest, person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I use evidence-based interventions while recognizing that your lived experience matters just as much as what a textbook says. I believe therapy isn’t about simply teaching coping skills; it’s about understanding yourself, recognizing patterns, processing your experiences, building healthier relationships, and learning how to advocate for yourself. As your therapist, I’ll listen, support, encourage, and celebrate your growth—but I’ll also challenge you when necessary. I believe accountability and compassion can coexist. I’m not here to tell you what you want to hear; I’m here to help you understand what you need to hear and empower you to make meaningful changes. My own lived experiences have shaped the way I understand resilience, family dynamics, relationships, personal growth, and navigating life’s transitions. They have taught me the importance of feeling genuinely heard and having someone who can meet you where you are while still believing in where you can go. I especially enjoy working with youth, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, emotional challenges, self-esteem, relationships, family conflict, life transitions, and feeling “stuck.” You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You just have to be willing to start. My goal is to help you feel seen, understood, empowered, and equipped to create the life you want.

Hello! I am a licensed professional counselor licensed in both NY & NJ with over a decade of experience working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, burnout and relationship challenges. Therapy, to me, feels like a genuine conversation between two people. I show up as myself—curious, engaged, and thoughtful. I'll ask questions, offer new perspectives, and help you build insight and practical tools so you can feel more like yourself again.

I am an engaging and connecting type of therapist who helps you feel like you can talk openly and without reserve. I love getting to know my clients and truly feel honored to be in this helping profession. I want to be your biggest fan and cheerleader and can honestly say I do not judge my clients. I have heard the darkest and worst things and still find that I like my clients and want them to succeed. I have been in private practice for about 12 years but have been a therapist for about 15-16. *I have included my basic work hours in the availability calendar but feel free to message me if you need to inquire about other availability. I often have other availability but it changes weekly so I cannot list it as static availability on my Grow Calendar. If we find another time than is listed here, I can schedule it on the Grow Platform.

I am a therapist dedicated to empowering clients to reclaim their path toward their most desired future. My work is fundamentally solution-focused, meaning we spend less time dissecting problems and more time defining your strengths, identifying immediate wins, and building actionable steps toward your goals. Your capacity for change is immense, and my role is to help you see it clearly. My approach is collaborative and strategically integrated. I draw heavily on Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you resolve ambivalence and articulate your own, intrinsic reasons for change. This partnership focuses on eliciting "Change Talk" and moving from passive hope to decisive action. When building specific skills, I utilize CBT techniques, ensuring you leave each session with measurable, practical tools to manage your mood and navigate daily challenges effectively. For clients healing from deeper wounds, my expertise in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Grief Therapy ensures we address the past, but always through the lens of liberation. We process how trauma or loss has changed your worldview—identifying "stuck points"—not to dwell, but to remove cognitive barriers that block your future progress. I weave in Existential principles to anchor your goals in profound personal meaning. We ensure the future you are building is authentic and aligned with your deepest values, giving you the courage to take ownership of your choices. If you are ready to stop focusing on what is broken and start defining your best self, I offer a focused, empowering journey toward reclaiming your life.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey. I graduated with my Masters of Arts in Counselor Education from The College of New Jersey in May 2014. I have experience working with individuals between the ages of 4 years - 65 years of age, with varying presenting problems/concerns, including (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, mood disorders, self-harm, relationship difficulties, couples/family counseling, trauma, ptsd, and life transitions.

I have over 20 years of experience. My MA in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Certificate in Expressive Arts Therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) and a Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH). I provide online therapy thru live video conferencing to clinically appropriate residents of Maryland, North Carolina, Nevada, New Jersey, and District of Columbia.

I work with women and women-identifying individuals who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationships, reproductive mental health, and all of the complicated identity shifts that can come with being a woman in different seasons of life. Many of my clients are smart, capable, and very good at keeping things moving. On the outside, they may look like they have it all together. Inside, they may feel anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected from themselves, or simply tired of carrying so much. I especially enjoy working with women through young adulthood, dating and relationships, marriage, career stress, perfectionism, infertility, fertility treatment and IVF, pregnancy, postpartum changes, motherhood, parenting, grief and loss, and midlife transitions. I also work with women who are trying to figure out who they are now that the version of themselves that used to fit no longer quite does. Reproductive and perinatal mental health is a particular passion of mine. As a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C), I have specialized training in infertility, IVF and fertility treatment, pregnancy, postpartum mental health, pregnancy loss, reproductive grief, family-building decisions, and the emotional complexities that can come with becoming a parent. My style as a therapist is warm, conversational, thoughtful, and active. I believe therapy can be meaningful without feeling stiff or overly clinical. We will talk about difficult things, but we can also laugh. I will listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, notice patterns, and help you make sense of what is happening underneath the surface. My goal is for you to feel understood, challenged when it is helpful, and comfortable enough to show up as yourself.

Hi! I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of NJ. I have been practicing about 10 years and specialize in eating disorders, anxiety, and OCD. However, I have worked with clients who have depression, PTSD, and need help adjusting to changes in life. I bring creativity to some sessions, if wanted, as sometimes talk therapy while not always bring out what we need it to.

Hello! Congratulations on your decision to seek personal growth and support! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in New Jersey. I received my master's degree in Psychological Counseling from Monmouth University and have been practicing for 22 years. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I provide a warm, safe, and encouraging space for adults to learn skills to negotiate challenging emotions and life situations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who graduated from Rutgers School of Social Work. I have over 25 years of experience treating clients from diverse backgrounds and across various generations. I believe in acting as a guide as opposed to a leader and as such I am always open to my clients’ preferences or suggestions regarding how to proceed with treatment. I work in collaboration with them as a means of empowering my clients to adopt a proactive, as opposed to reactive approach to their clinical challenges.

Hello! I am a passionate therapist who uses an eclectic mix of techniques tailored to fit each individual's needs. I am well-versed in working with those struggling with a range of life stressors and transitions. I bring a unique understanding of the complex ways in which family, peers, romantic relationships, and school dynamics interact and affect people. My sessions are conversational, interactive, and grounded in understanding your world as it is right now. I will listen deeply, pick up on patterns, and reflect things back in a way that helps things click. Expect honesty, support, and a space where you don’t have to filter yourself.

Hello, my name is Mordechai Berman, LPC, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals and families improve their emotional well-being and overall quality of life. My practice serves children, teens, adults, and older adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, autism spectrum disorder, grief, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I utilize evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), while tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. I am particularly passionate about supporting older adults as they navigate the challenges of aging, loss, and finding meaning in later life, as well as helping children and families build stronger relationships, emotional resilience, and lasting positive change. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where every client feels heard, respected, and empowered to grow.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and comfortable showing up as themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in authenticity. I strive to create a space where clients can be honest about the parts of themselves they may feel embarrassed, overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck with—without fear of criticism or shame. I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, identity exploration, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that no longer feel helpful or sustainable. Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware but find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or repeating cycles they want to better understand and change. My style blends practical skill-building with deeper emotional exploration. I draw from approaches including CBT, DBT, person-centered, existential, and motivational techniques to help clients increase self-awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication and boundaries, and better understand the underlying experiences shaping their current struggles. I value humor, honesty, curiosity, and creating a therapeutic relationship that feels human, not overly clinical or rigid. As a queer and affirming therapist, I’m especially passionate about creating a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ clients and anyone who has felt misunderstood, pressured to mask parts of themselves, or uncertain about where they fit. Whether you are looking for insight, coping tools, emotional support, or meaningful change, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Life can feel overwhelming when trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges take center stage. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as a whole person—not just a collection of symptoms. I work collaboratively with clients to help them make meaning of their experiences, reconnect with their values, and move toward a more authentic and fulfilling life. I specialize in trauma and have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use concerns. I also work with couples and families, supporting healthier communication, deeper understanding, and more secure connections. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply seeking clarity and growth, I aim to meet you where you are with compassion and respect. My approach is rooted in humanistic and existential therapy, emphasizing personal agency, self-awareness, and the belief that change is possible—even in the midst of pain. I take an integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), grief work, and solution-focused interventions, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. Healing is not about “fixing” yourself—it’s about understanding yourself more deeply and learning new ways to relate to your experiences. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and move forward with intention.

Hi, I’m a Indo-Caribbean-American therapist who understands how hard it is to talk about emotions when you’ve been raised to suppress them. Growing up, I was told that feelings weren’t valid—and that mental health struggles were a sign of weakness. Now, I help people unlearn those harmful messages and create space for healing. In my practice, I challenge the stigma around therapy in Caribbean and immigrant communities and offer a space where you don’t have to explain your culture—you can just be. Let’s gaff about what’s going on and explore whether we’re a good fit.

Hi, I'm Assal. I've been a therapist for 13 years, helping young adults and adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and the stress that comes with balancing life's many demands. Many of my clients come to therapy during periods of change or uncertainty. They may be starting college, launching a career, navigating dating and relationships, working through unhealthy relationship patterns, adjusting to parenthood, caring for family members, or questioning what they want from the next chapter of life. Others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and are looking to regain a sense of confidence, direction, and purpose. My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what's really going on. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, while building on your strengths and helping you move toward the life you want.

Hello and welcome! I'm Tony and thank you for trusting me with your mental health! Are you struggling with the balance of daily life stressors of family, work and/or school?

I help clients struggling with anger, aggressive behaviors, drug addiction, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma, school stress and many other adjustment-related struggles.

A few moments to introduce myself. Professionally I am known as I. Barry Bell, Ph.D. I am a 73-year-old, male, Caucasian Clinical Psychologist who has been in practice for 39 years. I have worked in a variety of settings, in both in-patient psychiatric hospitals and out-patient clinical settings. I have also maintained my own private practice from September 2016 to the present. Prior to receiving my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 1985, I trained extensively as a Modern Dancer for 10 years. During these years I became deeply involved in emerging positive psychologies and Eastern/Buddhist/Taoist studies. This was the beginning of the interface between what is now referred to as Mindfulness based approaches to psychotherapy and Eastern philosophies, especially Buddhist. Mindfulness approaches to psychotherapy are now at the forefront of evidence-based interventions. I have spent more than the past 20 years studying and practicing the interface between psychotherapy and personal psychological growth. Over the years I have integrated various theoretical approaches, including depth psychodynamic theories. I will be happy to discuss my approach with you further should you choose to contact me to consider engaging in psychotherapeutic work with me.

As your therapist, it’s my job to help you make positive, lasting change. This might feel easier said than done, but together, we’ll break down transformation into small steps. My approach emphasizes your nervous system and taking things at your pace. I’m here for your big emotions and your tiniest realizations. Through it all, I want you to feel supported and encouraged as you expand beyond self-imposed limits and into your true self. I obtained my Masters degree from Millersville University and have been in the mental health field for 20 years. I'm licensed in PA, MD, OH, NJ, FL, ID and SC.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use dogs in my office while doing therapy. Please schedule telehealth or advise in advance if you are not comfortable in an office with animals. They do provide therapeutic support to clients and have been part of my practice for some time. I hold licenses in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida and specialty certification as a Certified Advanced Drug & Alcohol Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am a firm believer in everything that happens creates the person. I am a whole life counselor and work with people to explore what it would take to move past the difficult times in life. I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

I’m a therapist who works at the intersection of emotional intelligence, attachment, identity, and the messy, complicated realities of relationships. My clients come to me when things feel overwhelming but they’re not willing to give up on themselves. They’re smart, self-aware, and intuitive, they just need someone who can meet them where they are, without judgment or sugarcoating. I am here to do that.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy to adults across New Jersey. I strive to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.

Rita LaBrew, LMFT, licensed in New York and New Jersey, brings extensive experience in foster care, child welfare, private practice, and telehealth. I provide a collaborative, thoughtful therapy experience grounded in clinical expertise and evidence-informed care. Together, we'll work toward greater insight, emotional resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. I work with adults who are ready to move beyond simply managing symptoms and are willing to explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family-of-origin concerns, life transitions, or longstanding emotional patterns, therapy offers an opportunity to understand not only what you're experiencing, but why. My approach is primarily psychodynamic, integrating psychoeducation to help make complex emotional experiences more understandable and practical. Together, we explore how early relationships, unconscious patterns, protective roles, and present-day experiences influence your emotions, relationships, and decisions. As insight grows, clients often find themselves responding to life's challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. Clients often describe my style as thoughtful, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where curiosity replaces self-criticism, where difficult experiences can be understood without judgment, and where lasting change develops through deeper self-awareness rather than temporary solutions. My practice is best suited for adults seeking ongoing outpatient psychotherapy and is not a fit for higher-acuity or crisis-focused care. I may refer clients whose needs would be better served by a higher level of care, specialized treatment, or services outside my scope of practice. Please note that I do not provide documentation or written support for court, custody, disability, or other legal matters, and my practice is not a fit for individuals seeking therapy primarily for court-related issues. My goal is always to help clients find the care that best meets their needs.

Life doesn't usually fall apart all at once. More often it's anxiety that's built up over time, a depression that's dulled things, or a sense that you've lost track of what you actually want. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of clinical experience, licensed in New Jersey, Oregon, and Vermont. I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach draws primarily on CBT and trauma-informed care, along with mindfulness and other modalities depending on what's useful for a given client. Some sessions focus on concrete coping skills. Others involve working through something more difficult, or examining a pattern that's been shaping your life without much scrutiny. I don't give generic advice or push goals that aren't yours. My role is to help you see what you're already capable of, challenge thinking that keeps you stuck, and work toward a life that fits you. You're the expert on your own life. I bring the clinical tools and perspective.

I meet clients where they are while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them, helping them build insight and practical coping skills. I am supportive, honest, and straightforward. I create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to share openly, while also offering clear feedback and guidance. I balance empathy with gentle challenge to help clients move forward. I help clients identify patterns, process past experiences, and develop practical strategies for change. Together, we set clear, realistic goals and track progress. My focus is on helping clients build confidence, improve relationships, and feel more in control of their lives. Please note: I provide individual therapy only and don't offer couples counseling.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor providing virtual therapy for adults and couples who are ready to move beyond feeling stuck and begin creating meaningful, lasting change. Many of the clients I work with appear to be managing on the outside, while internally navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship strain, or difficulty expressing their needs. If you find yourself overthinking, reacting instead of responding, or repeating patterns that no longer serve you, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. My approach is structured, intentional, and insight-oriented. I focus on helping you strengthen your emotional intelligence—how you understand, manage, and communicate your emotions—because this is the foundation for healthier relationships, clearer decision-making, and improved overall well-being. Together, we will identify patterns, explore the root of your challenges, and develop practical tools that help you respond with clarity and confidence rather than impulse or avoidance. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and emotional fatigue, as well as couples working through communication breakdowns, trust concerns, and disconnection. Therapy with me is an active process. It requires honesty, consistency, and a willingness to do the work, but it also creates the opportunity for real, sustainable growth. If you’re ready to invest in yourself, better understand how you operate emotionally, and begin showing up differently in your life and relationships, this is a space where that work can begin.

Whether there has been a significant loss, a life transition, relational conflict, or daily stressors, we all need support during difficult times. Sometimes, however, a trained professional can help navigate these challenges and assist in facilitating positive change. We aren’t always able to recognize the underlying cause of our discomfort or find ways to overcome life’s challenges. In a therapeutic setting, we will work together to discover healthier ways for you to deal with life’s struggles, make desired changes, improve relationships, and find inner healing. Seeking therapy can be viewed as an investment in yourself. Improving mental and emotional health is as important as one’s physical health. My role is to provide a safe space and come alongside you on your journey. I work with adolescents and adults and provide individual, couples, and family counseling services. I treat depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, (PTSD), relationship issues, parenting, behavioral concerns, and many other problems affecting how we feel and operate in the world.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re constantly trying to manage everything on your own. You may be carrying the weight of grief, navigating unexpected changes, or feeling exhausted from the pressure to keep everything under control. Maybe you set high expectations for yourself, struggle with feeling “good enough,” or find yourself stuck between pushing through and shutting down. I offer a space to slow down, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build healthier ways to cope. I help those struggling with stress, perfectionism, and control-related challenges create more clarity, balance, and self-compassion in their lives.

I am a daughter, single mother, sister and friend. I am a clinician who values and honors diversity. I offer a judgement free zone where empathy and confidentiality are at the forefront. I value therapeutic intervention, as I too have been a client. I know the impact of a trained clinician and a committed client. My style is collaborative and client-centered. My goal is to help clients create lasting change and a deeper sense of personal wellness. Peace begins with caring for your mental health. I look forward to supporting my clients.

I have 21 years of direct client experience. This includes individual, couple, family, and group therapy in school based, home based, partial care and outpatient settings. My style is non-judgmental, challenging, sensitive and supportive. It pulls from psychodynamic, Jungian, strength based, person-centered and CBT approaches.
