Therapists in New Jersey

My name is Joanna Smith. I have had the honor and privilege to have work with clients for over 20 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Most of my work has been in the health care setting where I worked supporting people who faced chronic illness. I have also worked with families in a family health clinic. Additionally, I have provided and coordinated mental health treatment in a primary care setting providing problem solving treatment to improve patients’ symptoms and level of functioning. I have also provided support to employees in corporate settings in my role as employee assistance program consultant.

If you're a Millennial or Gen Z adult feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, constant stress, or persistent overthinking, you're not alone. Anxiety can make it difficult to stay present, maintain routines, manage responsibilities, or enjoy everyday life. For many people, OCD adds another layer of distress through intrusive thoughts, excessive doubt, rumination, or compulsive behaviors that can leave you feeling stuck. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and OCD using Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ERP helps you gradually face feared thoughts and situations while learning to resist compulsions. CBT provides practical, evidence-based strategies to reduce anxiety, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and build lasting confidence. Healing starts with one small, courageous step—and that step might simply be sending an email or making a phone call. You don't have to keep managing this alone. I'm here to help you build the skills to move forward and create a life that's guided by your values, not by anxiety or OCD.

Hello everyone, I'm Tyisha B. Wright, Licensed Professional Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor, licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Something brought you here. Trust that. I cannot wait to meet you.

My life experiences are what led me to become a therapist and shaped my deep commitment to supporting others on their healing paths. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide range of settings — schools, jails, hospitals, and private practice — which has given me a broad understanding of how people cope, survive, and grow in very different environments. I have specialized training in TF‑CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, autism, and women’s mental health, including and perimenopausal/menopausal concerns. These areas of focus allow me to support women across the full spectrum of emotional, hormonal, and life transitions. I look forward to walking alongside you as we navigate this journey together. I focus on women only at this time.

Born in Hong Kong and raised in Miami, Fl, my passion for helping others came at an early age. I earned a Masters degree in Social Work at Florida International University and later a PhD in Social Welfare at the City University of New York Graduate Center.

Hi! Thank you for visiting my page. My name is Michelle Lakefield and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC) for the past 18 years. I have worked with many clients from the ages of 10-70 over the past 18 years. I am compassionate and nonjudgmental and help clients navigate life's challenges. My approach is collaborative, supportive and customized to each client's unique needs. My clients have provided feedback to me that they feel heard, understood and motivated to grow and make changes in their relationships and lives. I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions and relationship struggles.

Maybe your mind feels like it never shuts off—overthinking, worrying, or constantly feeling on edge. Or maybe it’s the opposite... feeling low, unmotivated, or disconnected from yourself in a way that’s hard to explain. Some days feel heavy, and even simple things take more effort than they used to. You may also be carrying grief—whether from a loss, a life change, or something that didn’t turn out the way you hoped. At the same time, work stress or burnout might be adding another layer, leaving you feeling emotionally drained and stretched thin. I primarily work with women who are navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and the impact of past experiences. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break.

In our work together, you can expect a calm, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and gently challenged. I don’t offer quick fixes—but I do help clients build insight and lasting skills through collaborative, guided conversations.

Thank you for taking the time to take a look at my profile! Therapy should be uniquely tailored to each person. I work with clients to identify patterns of behavior that may have contributed to difficulties in relationships—with family, friends, or at work or school—and help find ways to create positive change. We learn to change our perspective on life, our past, our entire reality, and recognize that we really can control how we think and what we think about. One of the primary purposes of coming to therapy is to be heard. I am here to listen and work with you to come up with a solution to the problem or issues you may be having. I've worked with many clients coping with anxiety and depression, in particular, which has led to the development of a different approach that combines parts of a few different proven techniques. This approach is designed to change your perspective on your mental illness and learn new ways to cope, adjust, and adapt. We work together to find what works! Personally, I have been managing numerous forms of anxiety (including, at times, OCD and PTSD), depression, and bipolar II disorder since my early teen years, with about a decade battling addiction. Thankfully, I had the support of my family, my wife, my two daughters, and our multiple rescue pups. They're all the motivation and inspiration I need!

As a Psychotherapist, I believe that everyone already has the tools they need to be their most productive and successful self. Sometimes people just need the support and encouragement from an outside source to reach their personal "happy place". Every patient has a right to Self-Determination and Self-Awareness.
