Therapists in New Jersey

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.

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.

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’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.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or major transitions leave you feeling stuck or unsure of what comes next. I’m a Columbia University graduate and a warm, insightful, and engaged therapist who helps adults better understand themselves and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build on your strengths, and help you move toward a life that reflects your values, honors your identity, and feels more fulfilling.

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist who works with clients of all ages and stages of life. I believe therapy should be individualized because no two people, experiences, or goals are the same. My approach is person-centered, supportive, and collaborative, meeting you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we will identify your goals, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical skills, and work toward meaningful change. I am empathetic and encouraging, while also providing guidance and accountability when needed. My training includes CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, somatic approaches, allowing me to tailor therapy to your individual needs. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, build resilience, and work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

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.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor working with adults, teens, and parents who are tired of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional overwhelm, or relationship patterns running their lives. My approach is structured but human. I integrate CBT, DBT, ERP, and somatic work to create real, measurable change — not just insight. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and focused on helping you build emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and clarity so you can move through your life with more confidence and less fear.

Life can get serious and messy. Let me help you to learn to smile and work through the pain and become your greatest version of self. I have a master's degree in social work with more than 19 years' experience in the treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. I am very laid back and oftentimes utilize humor to develop rapport. I focus on mindfulness techniques to assist with living in the present moment.

Hello, my name is Knou, pronounced New. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a combined 20 years of experience working with children, families, parents and adults in various settings such as government, non-profits, schools, outpatient and private group practice settings. If you're in a place that is leaving you feeling unsure, anxious or unhappy in any way, I'd be honored to walk alongside you to help you navigate it all. My work has included parent coaching and work with children of all ages. I also have worked with students and young adults as they navigate life challenges. Lastly, my adult and older adult work has been around navigating chronic or complex illnesses, and life changes impacting mental wellbeing.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step to make positive changes in your life. Let me help you navigate your next steps. Your truth is that your big picture and outlook is good, but it's the small details in your life that has caused your current setback. Maybe your values and goals are not aligning with your current direction and status, and it's time for a tune up to get your life going again. Life is good, but you know, it can be so much more 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.

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

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, 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.

Welcome! I'm passionate about helping others find healing and wholeness. My desire is to help you know and understand yourself deeply, find healing from the past, and move from a place of "stuckness" to living a rich and meaningful life. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, and poor self-image. I have extensive experience treating complex trauma and substance abuse, and as a Certified DBT Therapist, I specialize in treating Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm also a Certified Religious Trauma Specialist. I believe that one of the most underrated experiences is loss, including the end of significant relationships. I can help you navigate the grief, find meaning in the loss, and build hope moving forward. I believe that change best happens when we learn to accept where we are while simultaneously challenging ourselves to do better. My desire is to accept you wholly as you are, without judgement.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and New Jersey. I graduated from Neumann University in Pennsylvania with a M.S. in Pastoral Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been practicing for ten years. I help adults gain insight to a variety of life's problems through an ecumenical and wholistic approach.

I bring more than 25 years of experience in behavioral health, along with training in trauma care and evidence-based approaches.

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.

Hello, I'm Laura, a dedicated therapist licensed in NJ, FL, VT, and Maine. I specialize in helping women who feel anxious, unseen, or emotionally stuck in their relationships reconnect with their self-worth and boundaries. My work focuses on healing attachment wounds, calming emotional reactivity, and building healthier patterns of connection. Together we move beyond self-blame and confusion toward grounded confidence, clarity, and the capacity to feel safe being fully yourself — both alone and in love.

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 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'm Jackie — a licensed clinical social worker and addiction counselor who genuinely loves this work. I trained at NYU Silver and spent years in community mental health, inpatient, and outpatient settings before opening my private practice. I wanted something less clinical and more human. I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, codependency, relationship struggles, and the kind of life transitions that leave you wondering who you even are anymore. A lot of my clients grew up in homes that felt unpredictable or unsafe — homes where they learned early to read the room, manage everyone else's feelings, and keep the peace at their own expense. They've been the capable one for so long that asking for help feels almost foreign. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. Therapy with me is collaborative and conversational. Sessions feel more like a real conversation than a formal appointment. I'll help you understand the patterns underneath the surface stuff — why you react the way you do, where it came from, and what to do about it now. We'll draw from CBT, DBT, and IPT, building real skills along the way. Sometimes you'll leave with something to try between sessions; other times, something to sit with and think about. My style is warm, direct, and skills-focused. I'll meet you where you are and gently push when it serves your growth, because real change usually means getting a little uncomfortable in a safe space. Humor shows up too — the hard stuff goes down easier when we can laugh at parts of it. Asking for help isn't weakness. It's one of the braver things you can do.

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.

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.

My name is Haley and I'm a queer, harm-reduction focused, identity-affirming, and trauma-informed licensed professional counselor. I am passionate about helping those who feel stuck and in need of empathy and unconditional support. I love to learn, and I model this curiousity in getting to know you as well as helping you work towards your goals. It takes a lot of strength and bravery to begin the process of therapy, and I am so grateful that you're here. :)

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 blend evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-informed care with a person-centered holistic perspective. Together, we’ll focus on what matters to you, building coping skills, strengthening resilience and finding meaningful ways to grow and feel better in your life.

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 name is Dr. Sharon Green, and I have worked in behavioral health for over 15 years. I have worked with diverse populations in multiple settings and served children, adolescents, young adults and older adults. Therapeutic services are delivered professionally and based on ethical principles. Services are tailored to the individual with implementation of multiple treatment modalities that include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitizing Reprocessing (EMDR), supportive therapy, narrative therapy, solution-based therapy, and grief therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing compassionate, client-centered therapy using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and challenges related to motivation and personal growth, as well as those coping with grief and bereavement. My approach is collaborative and flexible, helping clients build insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and strengthen resilience. My goal is to support clients in finding clarity, self-compassion, and confidence as they move forward with greater balance and purpose.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, whether you’re struggling with self-esteem, stress, anxiety, or depression. You don’t have to face these times alone. In session, I will help you identify your personal strengths and develop strategies that create real, lasting change. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to move forward with confidence.

You may have experienced therapy before and know what it is like to have a space to talk. My work offers something a little different. I work with women who are often the ones others depend on the mothers, caregivers, professionals, helpers, and women who have learned how to keep things moving even when they are carrying a lot themselves. You do not have to be in crisis to want therapy. You may be grieving, navigating a major life transition, feeling overwhelmed or anxious, questioning what no longer fits, or simply wanting a space where nothing is being asked of you. As a Black woman and therapist, I am especially intentional about creating space for Black women and other women of color to speak freely without having to translate or minimize their experiences. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out. We can begin with where you are.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW),based in NJ and have been practicing therapy for the past six years. I believe therapy is a space where your voice deserves to be heard, honored, and understood. My approach is warm, culturally aware, and grounded in genuine curiosity about who you are and what has shaped your story. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy learning about different cultures, getting lost in a good book, and unwinding with a great show—things that help me stay grounded and connected. I bring that same openness and presence into my work with clients.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and hold a MS degree. I have been in the field for about 18 years.

I have experience in treating Anxiety disorders, Autism, ADHD, Depression/Mood Disorders, OCD, Trauma and PTSD.

Hi, I’m Jelysa—founder of Take 2 Counseling, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, wife, and mom of two. Being a therapist is a huge part of who I am, but so is my family. Juggling real-life responsibilities, caring for others, and trying to stay grounded in the middle of it all gives me a deep understanding of the daily pressures many of us face—especially young women who are trying to find their footing in a fast-paced world. Growing up as the daughter of a therapist, I was surrounded by empathy, connection, and emotional awareness from an early age. My mom showed me that healing doesn’t come from being perfect—it comes from being present, making space for growth, and learning through our mistakes. She continues to be my role model for resilience and restoration.

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.

I have spent the past two decades counseling and supervising clinicians who work with some of society's most vulnerable members. I possess a vast amount of experience working with children and adolescents who face various mental health, social, and behavioral challenges. I have a master’s degree in psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. I also obtained my certification as an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), which allows me to supervise clinical candidates for state licensure. I am currently the Clinical Supervisor for Healthy Body Healthy Mind, LLC. I previously held the role of Senior Primary Therapist for ten years in the Children’s Partial Hospital Program (PHP) at Princeton House Behavioral Health located in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Before joining Princeton House, I worked with Cranford Counseling Center, worked as a supervisor for the Children’s Mobile Response & Stabilization Unit at UMDNJ in Essex County, and served as the Program Head Clinician at Trinitas Hospital in Elizabeth, New Jersey in their Full-Day and Half Day Partial Hospital Programs. I have a passion for providing therapeutic services for children and adolescents and their families who are in need of effective solutions to mental health and behavioral challenges. My experience, combined with my passion for helping children and their families, allows me to serve my clients successfully.
