I'm a licensed clinical social worker with many years of experience helping adults deal with a variety of issues, including relationship problems, divorce adjustment, depression, anxiety, identity, substance abuse and trauma. In our work together, you will feel safe and secure as we move slowly and gently through the concerns that brought you in. It's remarkable how much profound healing can occur within the simplicity of a therapy relationship. Often you won't even need to talk about the trauma in detail — instead, you can allow yourself the gift of identifying and expressing your feelings about your experiences. It's a gift you deserve — one we all deserve. The pathway to healing is open to you, and I will do my best to help you get there.

Hi, I work with children and adolescents. I have worked with a spectrum of different types of disorders for many years. Many of the clients with whom I work experience anxiety, depression, or other disruptions in mood or behavior. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a therapeutic approach that has been proven effective through scientific research. I use play therapy and other client centered approaches to empower clients as they embark on their personal journey. Together we can foster change. The decision to begin therapy is a brave one! I provide a safe space where clients feel supported.

Hi there, I am Albert. Do you feel that specific life events have had a great impact on how you are managing and functioning daily? I am a clinician who believes that the past influences the present and future and if trauma has been a part of the human experience the impact on human functioning is even greater. It is my goal to create a safe and caring counseling atmosphere and setting so that the individual feels safe to explore the effect of trauma or any life event(s) that have impacted their life. Clients are encouraged to explore and engage in new aspects of themselves; finding new abilities which increase their positive daily functioning by increasing their living tool kit with new creative and important tools. I utilize evidence-based modalities to address the unique and specific needs of each client and I do so from a trauma-informed perspective. I provide long-term psychotherapy; I also work with clients doing short-term solution-focused therapy that is goal-specific. I completed my master's in counseling in 2005 from New Jersey City University. From 2005 to 2010 I was an associate counselor and upon completion of my supervision hours became a Licensed Practicing Counselor in 2010. I have had experience working in hospitals, outpatient clinics, community outreach and providing in-home therapy services for individuals and families. I have worked treating depression, anxiety, behavior problems, ADHD and issues related to gender identity as well as issues facing couples.

You do not have to carry life’s challenges alone. Whether you are navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, healing is possible, and you deserve support that meets you where you are. I specialize in helping older adolescents ages 16 to 17 and adults navigate ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My goal is to get to know you, understand your unique experiences, and work alongside you to create a path forward that reflects your unique needs and strengths. I believe meaningful therapy begins with trust, and I strive to create a compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout your therapeutic journey. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and provide an inclusive, culturally responsive environment where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self. Every person has a unique story, which is why I tailor therapy to your individual needs rather than taking a one size fits all approach. Using evidence based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, person centered therapy, strengths based therapy, and trauma informed care, we will work together to build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we will work toward helping you achieve meaningful, lasting change and a greater sense of confidence, balance, and well being.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably carrying something heavy — and you may have been carrying it longer than you should have had to. I’m glad you’re here. I’m an LMFT licensed in both New York and New Jersey, and I work with adults who are navigating some of life’s most emotionally demanding seasons: parenting stress, relationship strain, depression, ADHD, and the kind of high-functioning exhaustion that doesn’t always look like struggle from the outside but absolutely feels like it. My approach is relational at its core. I believe that healing rarely happens in isolation — it happens in connection. Before any technique or homework assignment, I prioritize building a therapeutic relationship where you actually feel safe enough to be honest. That foundation isn’t just good therapy etiquette; it’s what makes everything else possible. From there, I draw on a range of evidence-based frameworks — attachment theory, CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches — tailoring the work to what you specifically need rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Some clients need tools and structure. Others need space to process and be witnessed. Most need both, at different moments. I’ve worked with many people who came to therapy after putting it off for a long time — sometimes years. What kept them away was often fear: fear of judgment, fear of being misunderstood, or simply not knowing what therapy was supposed to feel like. I take that seriously. My goal from the very first session is to help you feel less alone in what you’re facing, and more capable of moving through it. You don’t have to have it figured out before you reach out. That’s what we’re here to do together.

Therapy is about possibilities. It's a chance to better understand yourself, discover new ways of responding to life's challenges, and move toward the person you want to become. I see my role as walking alongside you, helping you explore those possibilities while supporting you through your own unique journey. With more than 21 years of experience, I've learned there is no one "right" way to do therapy because there is no one "right" kind of person. Rather than relying on rigid formulas, I tailor therapy to you. Together we'll build on your strengths, make sense of your experiences, and develop practical strategies that fit your life and your goals. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change. When you feel understood, respected, and safe enough to be yourself, therapy becomes a place where growth can happen. My goal is to create that kind of environment: collaborative, genuine, and free of judgment. I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, trauma, and the many struggles that don't always fit neatly into a diagnosis. Sometimes people come to therapy simply because life feels harder than it used to or they feel stuck and aren't sure why. Whatever brings you here, we'll work together to understand what's happening, identify opportunities for change, and help you move toward a life that feels more meaningful and authentic.

Do you find yourself putting everyone else's needs before your own? Struggling to say no without guilt? Feeling responsible for keeping the peace, managing others' emotions, or living up to expectations that no longer fit who you are? The patterns we learn growing up can shape our relationships, self-worth, and boundaries well into adulthood. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or repeating the same frustrating cycles, therapy can help you understand where these patterns come from, heal old wounds, and create healthier boundaries so you can move forward with greater confidence and authenticity. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, healing from the past, or simply seeking clarity about your next steps, I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing, growth, and self-discovery. My name is Ebony Yelder (she/her/hers), and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the field of counseling and psychiatric services. I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse settings—including behavioral health hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, in-home therapy, and with the Department of Defense supporting service members and their families. I believe therapy is a shared journey where your voice and experiences guide the process. I’m dedicated to helping individuals tap into their inner strengths and resilience. Together, we’ll recognize what’s working, explore what’s not, and create a meaningful path toward the life you envision. More about me: https://www.pathtoflourishcounseling.com/

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I received my Masters in Social Work from Fordham University in NYC. I work with adults who are currently experiencing depression and/or anxiety to help them discover the root of their concerns so that they can become the best versions of themselves. Since every individual is so unique, I use an individualized approach in talk therapy to help you overcome your challenges by gaining new coping skills and new ways to think about your situation. Please note that I do not offer ESA or FMLA evaluations as part of my service offerings. I also do not offer Couples Therapy.

Professional -> I am a clinical social worker with 20 years of mixed elementary, middle school, and high school Child Study Team experience which includes work with kids/tweens/teens with learning disabilities and/or emotional (predominately anxiety, anger, self-esteem)-social (mild autism spectrum disorder)-behavioral (covers a wide range!) needs, parent support/training. I do work with adults as well, but find the vast majority of my clients are kids/teens. Personal -> I am a married mom of two, and we are a dog family (dogs for the win! - although we also have a hamster, a lizard, and two degus). I love a traditional board or card game (Uno, Connect 4, Scrabble, Othello are my top!) and I always find a way to use humor - - Dad jokes get me rolling. I speak French, too. If you think you want to meet, but don't see a time that works send me a message and we will work something out.

If you've tried therapy and still feel stuck, the approach may be the problem. Most people who find me have already done "the work" — and it wasn't enough. That's not a failure. It usually means they needed a more targeted method from the start. If you know your thoughts aren't rational but can't stop them, feel trapped by routines you can't break, or have been avoiding more and more of your life to manage anxiety — that's exactly what I treat. I specialize in OCD, anxiety disorders, and compulsive behaviors using ERP, CBT, and Habit Reversal Training — structured, evidence-based protocols with strong track records for the patterns that feel impossible to break on your own. Every session is practical. You leave with tools you can use immediately. I work with adults dealing with OCD, intrusive thoughts, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, health anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors (skin picking, hair pulling), hoarding disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. I'm warm and direct. I'll be honest about what treatment involves, what progress actually looks like, and whether I'm the right fit — and if I'm not, I'll point you somewhere better. The people who do well with me are done managing symptoms and ready to change them. If that's where you are, reach out.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Depression, is filtering therapists in New Jersey that work with patients with similar concerns.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
