I provide neurodivergent-informed evaluations and therapy that are trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and gender-affirming focused on autism, ADHD, and co-occurring diagnoses. Evaluations are deeply collaborative and tailored to client goals, which may include diagnostic clarification, support for accommodations (as determined during the consultation call), accessing appropriate prescribers, improving resource accessibility, and making sense of past experiences through a neurodiversity-affirming lens. Each evaluation centers the individual’s voice and story—offering a meaningful, strengths-based understanding of their lived experience. As a provider who is neurodivergent and has significant personal and professional experience in therapy and evaluation for individuals with autism and ADHD, my commitment is to deliver compassionate and thorough care. I aim to empower you with the knowledge, skills, and support necessary to navigate your diagnosis and achieve a fulfilling life.

Hello, and welcome. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and improve their emotional well-being. I earned my Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University and have spent my career supporting people through difficult periods while helping them build healthier, more fulfilling lives. Many people seek therapy when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained. You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or a major life transition that feels difficult to manage on your own. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can openly explore your experiences, gain clarity, and begin moving toward healing and growth. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I work closely with my clients to help them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and patterns, while developing effective coping strategies that support lasting change. Together, we focus on building resilience, strengthening self-awareness, and creating healthier ways to navigate life’s challenges. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse cultural, social, and professional backgrounds. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive care and creating an environment where every client feels respected, valued, and understood. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel difficult, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. If you’re ready to invest in your mental health and personal growth, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I bring over 4 years of experience treating adolescents, young adults, and adults with a particular focus on anxiety, grief, adoption, trauma, and life transitions. I support my clients by collaborating to build resilience and teach coping skills in a supportive, understanding environment. I believe in meeting people where they are and that building the therapeutic relationship by using a collaborative and person-centered approach to therapy empowers clients to make changes that are necessary and will lead to client success. I approach building the therapeutic relationship with a sense of humor and down-to-earth nature. I am a firm believer that what works for one person may not work for the next, which is why I utilize various modalities such as motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness practice to name a few. I believe meaningful change comes from focusing on what’s within our control and utilizing skills to help cope. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can share openly about what you’re going through. Reach out and take the first step!

*Note: 7pm slot for Wednesday is for biweekly sessions* Hello! My name is Rukiya and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey. Professionally I have been working as an outpatient clinician in community mental health for the past five years and working in the field for the past 8 years. I work with adults from different communities who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, stress, identity concerns, and self-esteem. My approach is person-centered and collaborative, grounded in the belief that individuals are the experts of their own experiences. I help clients to reconnect with themselves and their communities at their own pace. Personally, I went into this field wanting to understand myself more and others around me. What came out of it was finding myself, finding community, and finding the language to name things that were happening to me and around me. I believe people are the experts of themselves and I get the honor to hold space and help connect the dots. Outside of Therapy I am a writer and a poet. I am a former peer educator. I'm passionate about creating a space where someone can find the best version of themselves because it was a gift that was given to me. Also, fan of basketball and Women's sports.

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!

Hi, Toyin is a regular person like you, and I have experienced some issues in my life which I can relate with some of your concerns. I understand how it feels to be uneasy sometimes. Toyin connects with you in navigating multiple issues you need to explore with her unique therapeutic interventions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, in New Jersey. I am provisionally licensed as ADC-Intern (awaiting board approval for Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor). I studied Counseling Psychology (M Ed) in University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and Clinical Mental Health Counseling (M.A) and Ed.S in Rider University, Lawrenceville in NJ. I have over 10 years of counseling experience and I support my adult clients in regaining their wellness through teletherapy. My clients usually enjoy the freedom to explore their concerns with me without them feeling being judged. The clients I work with have the opportunity to narrate their experiences and retell their stories while in session. I create an environment to thrive for my clients, which makes our working together on life issues become easier than they expected. Wellness begins when you connect and work with Toyin. Book your appointment now.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has dedicated my professional life to the advancement of the human species. What do I mean by the advancement of the human species? Well, no one ever taught us how to be mindful of thought patterns; to be aware of our own scars and biases, no one gave us an instruction book when it comes to dealing with our emotional life and the emotional lives of others. Scary, those big feelings can be. Unless, you have a plan. That is where therapy comes in. We work together to develop plans to assure you accomplish the goals you set for yourself.

I earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Counseling from Loyola University in Baltimore, Maryland. Additionally, I received a secondary Guidance Certification from Villanova University. I am a Nationally Board-Certified Counselor and have worked in a broad range of settings for over 28 years. I believe that the best clinical practice is an evidence-formed, eclectic model whereby the therapist adjusts to the needs of the client. I strive to provide clients with an opportunity to explore their inner selves, their relationships with others and their innate striving for wholeness, creativity, and well-being. Therapy can increase overall sense of well-being, build stronger coping and problem-solving skills, strengthen one's resiliency and determination, change behavior, and build stronger interpersonal relationships. The establishment of a trusting relationship between the client and therapist is of utmost importance to be able to work together to build a skill set to adapt and overcome life's most difficult challenges in order to create a fulfilling life. Regardless of a client's clinical needs, it is imperative to determine their support system and focus on the encouraging aspects of those relationships in helping the client become more resilient and set on a positive path in life.

I decided to become a therapist after years of working in jobs I found unfulfilling and uninspiring. I have spent time in retail, marketing, carpentry, office administration, and non-profit work. I have been practicing for nearly ten years. I have worked with a variety of populations, such as adults with persistent and severe mental illness, teenagers, college students at a university, LGBTQIA+, and seniors. I now primarily work with young professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and those who have “strayed” away from a traditional life.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in the field for over twenty years. I have experience in a variety of settings and with a variety of clients. Many of the people with whom I have worked are struggling with some kind of change, whether it's children growing up, seeking abstinence from a drug or coping with divorce or our own aging process. All these changes can impact our mood and I can help a person cope with the resultant depression or anxiety for instance.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New Jersey rather than a city like Newark?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in New Jersey. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New Jersey from Jersey City to Paterson! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New Jersey.

Will my therapist take Horizon?

Yes! If you use Horizon you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Horizon you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

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.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

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.

What happens during the first therapy session?

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.
