Therapists in New Jersey

Sometimes it is not easy to ask for help, whether dealing with small issues that life presents or with more complicated situations that can arise. Through identifying your natural strengths and emphasizing a solution-based approach, my primary goal as your therapist is to guide you towards finding your own truth and meaning, as well as meeting you where you are at through the process of self-discovery. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and a National Certified Counselor. My background consists of over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, parents and guardians, families, and adults in the mental health system from varying backgrounds. My experience includes, but is not limited to, treating the following: • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder • Panic Disorder, Panic Attacks, and Hoarding • Anxiety and Anxiety-Related Disorders, such as Social Anxiety and Phobia • Trauma • ADHD, Anger, Stress Management, and Skill Building • Family and Relationship issues • Child and School related issues • Occupational and Life transitioning • Spirituality and Life Purpose

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.

If you’re here, you may be carrying experiences that still show up in your body, your thoughts, or your relationships — even if those events happened long ago. You might feel on edge, numb, easily triggered, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself or others. If that sounds familiar, you’re not broken. Your nervous system learned how to survive, and now it may need support learning how to feel safe again. My name is Amy, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina, also licensed in New Jersey and Connecticut. I’ve been practicing for 13 years and earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. While I’ve worked with a wide range of concerns — including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, and relationship challenges — I specialize in trauma working with PTSD and Complex PTSD. I work with clients who have experienced trauma in many forms, including childhood abuse or neglect, chronic stress, relational trauma, and significant life disruptions. My approach is trauma-informed, which means I move at your pace, prioritize your sense of safety, and respect your boundaries. You are always in control of what you share and when. Therapy is not about forcing yourself to “relive” anything — it’s about helping your nervous system feel safer and helping you reclaim your sense of choice and agency.

Hi there, my name’s Ephraim Tokar. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20+ years of experience. My specialties consist of relationships, men’s issues, career counseling, and psychosomatic illnesses. I received my Bachelors degree in Child Psychology, working initially with the adolescent population before transitioning over to adults. I then received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy.

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 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.

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.

I'll ask questions, offer new perspectives, and help you build insight and practical tools so you can feel more like yourself again.

Hi, I’m Jessica Troxler ~ I believe that it’s important to not overshare with clients and at the same time share a little about myself to start building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I began my professional career as a biology major and decided to switch to psychology. Regardless of my major, I knew that I always wanted to be in a helping profession and to make a positive difference in other people’s lives. I have been in the mental health field for over 7 years. I received my Master’s in Clinical Social Work with a specialization in addiction counseling from Rutgers University in 2019. In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, brazilian jiu jitsu, spending time with friends and family, skiing, traveling, and going to concerts. I’ve had the honor of helping clients through various life struggles, such as, navigating the aftermath of divorce or breakups, addiction, eating disorders, ADHD, schizophrenia, homelessness, anxiety, and depression. I’ve also worked in a variety of settings such as, inpatient mental health facilities, detox centers, and in-home therapy working with families and children. You name it, I’ve probably helped someone through almost every issue that someone can go through in life. I will also offer appropriate referrals if I don’t believe that I can confidently address your specific needs. I utilize different evidenced based practices, such as, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), solution focused therapy, and gottman method couples therapy.

Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Ride the Wave Counseling. Thank you for being here! To be self-aware and recognize that you need help is a strength that should be acknowledged. Taking the next step and finding a therapist can feel nerve-wracking and uncomfortable, and while making the decision to start therapy can be hard, finding an approachable and empathetic therapist should not be. Although it’s my job to support and guide my clients through therapy, it’s my passion to empower them, encourage their growth, and help them work toward the goals that are important to them. By establishing a strong rapport and a safe environment, the therapeutic relationship becomes supportive, collaborative, and non-judgmental without effort. I want you to feel like you can show up as yourself and know that we are in this together!

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.

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.

Let me guess: You've been thinking about therapy for a while now. Maybe months, maybe years, but something kept stopping you. Too busy, too expensive, "it's not that bad yet," or maybe just the fear of opening up to a stranger who might judge you or not really get it. Here's what I want you to know: You don't need to wait until things get worse, you don't need permission to ask for help, and you don't have to figure this out alone. That's why I'm here. As a board-certified bilingual therapist, veteran, and founder of www.TalkHealRepeat.com , I've spent over 10 years supporting thousands of clients through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions that once felt impossible, from crisis units and corrections facilities to refugee shelters and quiet therapy rooms, working with chronic mental illness, personality disorders, abuse, trauma, ADHD, OCD, addictions, and some of the hardest moments of their lives. Here's what I know for sure: healing doesn't require perfection, it requires honesty and someone who actually gets it. You're not broken, you're dealing with hard things, and you deserve help that feels supportive, not cold, not judgmental, not like one more thing you're supposed to "fix" about yourself. 🔺If you can’t find a time on my calendar, message me. I’ll move things around, lose a lunch break, get creative. You showing up here already tells me everything I need to know about you.

You don’t have to keep holding everything together on your own. When life feels heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to start. My goal is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can pause, make sense of what you’re carrying, and begin finding your way back to yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s been getting in the way of feeling balanced and connected, using evidence-based approaches and genuine collaboration to help you heal, grow, and rediscover a stronger sense of self.

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 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.

I have been counseling in higher education for nearly thirty years and in private practice for over ten years. Thus, my experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with a variety of individuals and issues: I counsel clients ranging in age from 16 to 75, from various religions, genders, sexual orientations and ethnicities. I am culturally sensitive and respect diversity. Such exposure has aided me in recognizing the uniqueness in all individuals & understanding we are all the authors and pilots of our own life. A majority of individuals who make the decision to receive counseling, will discover that the answer is within if they give themselves time... My vast counseling experience includes clients/students who experience challenges in the following areas (including, but not limited to): Anxiety, sexuality, self-esteem, relationships, grief, family, illness, etc. My theoretical framework is Person Centered/Solution Focused, via talk therapy, mindfulness, meditation, creative play, eclectic approaches... Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, someone to validate what you're thinking and feeling. Being heard can make a world of difference and oftentimes, sharing your concerns, provides you with the insight to address and resolve your challenges. I can be that listening ear, the one who accompanies you on your journey without judgement and with empathy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with 20+ years of experience providing formal and informal therapy in a variety of settings and areas of concern.

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.

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.

Hey! I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) in New Jersey. I have been providing individual therapy for 6 years and working with adolescents and young adults for over 15 years. Before working in outpatient, I was a therapist at high school, providing group and individual therapy to adolescents. I help teens and young adults navigate difficult periods of transition in their life and relationships.

I have over five years of experience supporting individuals from all walks of life, with a focus on depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, military culture and experiences, and life transitions.

My name is Andy and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and Navy Veteran with 11+ years of experience. I am a dedicated and compassionate clinician committed to supporting individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. In addition to my therapeutic expertise, I am also fluent in Spanish.

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.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health. I am eager to provide support, instill hope and encourage you to become the best version of yourself. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe and comfortable environment that will allow self-exploration of triggers to emotional pain and collaborate with you on a plan to acquire strategies that will help you manage stressors. Ultimately, leading in improvement of relationships with others and a better quality of life.

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.

I am passionate about helping individuals cultivate healthy relationships with themselves and others. My approach is warm, compassionate, and goal-oriented, creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. If you find yourself struggling with overthinking, intrusive thoughts, setting healthy boundaries, or achieving a satisfying work-life balance, know that you do not have to navigate these challenges alone. Therapy can help you uncover and strengthen the tools and resilience that already exist within you. With years of experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions, I am committed to helping individuals build confidence, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change. Using a person-centered approach, I believe you are the expert on your own life, and together we will create a treatment plan that aligns with your unique goals and values. My goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being while navigating the challenges you are facing today. I look forward to partnering with you on your wellness journey and supporting you every step of the way.

My work in perinatal mental health has deepened that passion, particularly in supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood, depression, relationships, pregnancy, postpartum, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I’m currently accepting new clients, including daytime appointments.

I believe every child and teen deserves the opportunity to feel safe, understood, and hopeful about their future. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families navigating trauma, emotional and behavioral challenges, and difficult life experiences. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and individualized, with a focus on understanding not only what a young person is experiencing, but also the relationships, environments, and experiences that have shaped them. My work is trauma-informed, person-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw primarily from cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and family- and systems-focused approaches to help young people understand their emotions and experiences, develop effective coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change. I also value collaboration with caregivers and families when appropriate. I have a particular passion for supporting youth who have experienced trauma or are struggling with complex emotional and behavioral needs. Sometimes challenging behaviors are also ways a young person has learned to cope, communicate, or survive. Rather than focusing only on stopping a behavior, I want to understand what is underneath it and help young people and their families find healthier ways forward. Therapy is a collaborative process. My role is to provide a safe space where young people feel heard and understood while offering support, evidence-based guidance, and a gentle push when needed. Together, we can build on existing strengths, work through difficult experiences, and help young people move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I found my career as a therapist as a secondary one which has provided exposure to multiple therapeutic settings. My start in community mental health gifted me with a well-rounded, diverse level of training and exposure to the human experience. More importantly, my background reinforced the importance and power of the therapeutic relationship. I am curious, empathetic, affirming, and compassionate. My sense of humor often finds its way into our sessions (as do my dogs, if you're so inclined!). Together, we will map your treatment, so that you are clear as to what to expect, regardless of the intervention. We start at the place you are ready, reinforcing the strengths and resiliency that you already exhibit. Together, we build from there to address what you came in for.. Therapy is hard work, but it is also profoundly full, rewarding and empowering. It's important for me to honor both the challenges and rewards.

My name is Ruth McClary and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 35 years of counseling experience. I treat depression, anxiety and other clinical diagnoses. I specialize in women’s issues.

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.

I welcome you to begin your journey in the comfort of a space with someone who can empathize, advocate, and encourage self-empowerment.

Hello! I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with 16+ years of experience working with individuals of all ages in outpatient, in-home, crisis and hospital settings. I aim to collaborate on building a safe space where individuals can feel free to express themselves and work on building the life they desire. I generally offer a laid back approach and calming space in order to foster healing and onward progress.

I’m a licensed therapist in New York and New Jersey with over 5 years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I’ve had the privilege of supporting people from many different backgrounds and life experiences. My style is direct and supportive. I believe in helping clients better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and make meaningful changes while feeling heard and supported along the way.

Hi, I'm Claire. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I earned my Master of Social Work from Temple University in 2022. With four years of clinical experience, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments. I bring compassion and dedication to my work, and I find great meaning in helping clients navigate difficulties, build resilience, and achieve meaningful personal growth. It is a privilege to witness and support my clients as they overcome obstacles and move toward more fulfilling lives.

With over two decades of diverse clinical experience, I support children and adults with disabilities and psychiatric conditions using CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and psychoeducation.

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.

I am in drug addiction recovery and have been sober for 18 years. Started as a counselor assistant about 16 years ago, gained many years of experience working with many different clients' challenges and various cultures. I come from a non-judgmental perspective as I understand the importance of clients feeling safe in session. I absolutely love doing this kind of work.

My ideal client is one who wants to change but needs guidance on how to do so. I am a warm, engaging, person who will support you through your challenges and celebrate your success. I enjoy helping clients learn new skills and change unhealthy patterns into positive personal transformation. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for change.

Hi, I am Georgia and I am of Caribbean heritage. I initally began my career in technical problem-solving in the fields of Environmental Science and Engineering, but my deeper calling was always in helping people navigate their own challenges. While working as an engineer, I served my church community as a lay counselor and intercessor, which sparked a growing passion for more meaningful, people-centered work. That calling led me to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I serve as both a private practice clinician and a workplace mental health consultant and trainer. This work allows me to blend my analytical skills with a deep commitment to emotional wellbeing—and I truly feel I’ve found my purpose.

Life can be extremely busy and trying at times, especially now with all of the stressful changes in our lives, and we can feel as though we have too many roles to fill at once.

Hi, I'm Jean Messeroux, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from Columbia University and over eleven years of experience supporting people through some of the most formative and demanding seasons of their lives. My background spans education and healthcare, where I worked as a teacher, social worker, and social emotional learning facilitator, and that experience shaped a practice built on the belief that therapy should feel practical, human, and connected to what you're actually living through, not detached from it. I work with a wide range of people, students figuring out who they are, professionals managing pressure and burnout, parents balancing everything at once, and athletes navigating performance and identity, because the core work of understanding yourself and building healthier patterns looks similar no matter what world you come from. Whatever brought you here, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen quickly and leave with tools you can actually use.

I specialize in relational trauma, including domestic violence and childhood trauma, as well as anxiety and depression. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, helping them break unhealthy patterns, build resilience, and move forward with clarity and confidence. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. I integrate trauma-informed care with evidence-based practices like CBT and EMDR. 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.
