Hi I am Dr. Tricia Rampersad. I earned my BA in Communications & Journalism at Fairleigh Dickinson University, MA in Counseling Psychology at NJ City University, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) at California Southern University.
I have over 15 + of experience treating adults with depression, OCD, and anxiety disorders. I also enjoy working with LGBTQIA+ communities.
Training: Berkeley CBT Clinic, NJ Medical Center, Alameda Health System.
For 18 years, I worked in education as an elementary school teacher, school therapist, and Director of Counseling, giving me a unique perspective on the challenges teens and families face. In private practice, I work with adolescents (13+), adults, and older adults, helping them navigate stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship struggles. My clients often say they appreciate my direct, motivating, and real approach, which helps them feel like an equal in the therapy process.
Hi! My name is Afia. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an earned Masters degree from Central Connecticut State University. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health sector and have explored, incorporated and utilized many of the skills I gained from community and health settings to enhance myself as a therapist.
Mental healthcare has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I am committed to helping others. My therapeutic style builds on my compassionate, empathetic, and attentive nature. In the past, I have worked well with clients with anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse, personality and/or mood disorders. I genuinely care about the people who entrust me within my therapy practice and consider being a therapist one of the greatest privileges of my life.
*Former clients are welcome to reach out if they want to resume therapy, even if I do not have scheduled openings on Headway.
Welcome. I’m glad you’re here. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in a safe and supportive relationship, where you can show up just as you are and feel genuinely seen and understood. Whether you’re moving through anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or the weight of cultural and generational trauma, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space to explore your experience with care and curiosity.
You’re not here to be “fixed” because you’re not broken. You’re here to reconnect with your inner wisdom, reclaim clarity, and build a life that feels rooted and whole. I’m here to support you in that process, every step of the way.
