Welcome! I’m Erica Ali, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over six years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strength. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nyack Alliance Graduate School of Counseling.
My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, build resilience, and develop tools to support lasting mental wellness. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Hello! Congratulations for taking the first steps in getting the support you desire. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained in Psychotherapy and provide a warm, supportive, non-judgmental and collaborative, therapeutic environment so you may gravitate toward leading a life that's happy and fulfilling. I provide individualized treatment for women who are doing well, but are seeking deep and insightful reasons for their unhappiness. Whether it stems from sensitivities from past family trauma, feelings of insecurities within yourself or your relationships, stressors at work, or the feeling that something just "isn't right." I specialize in working with women navigating life's challenges, motivated toward personal/professional growth, who struggle with family/emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and identity concerns, grief and loss, chronic illness, and major life changes. I also have experience supporting clients through pre/perinatal and postpartum concerns, peri-menopausal, and post-menopausal mood and anxiety issues, as well as cultural, spiritual and religious trauma. Additionally, I am passionate about helping creative professionals, whether they seek employment as artists, writers, actors or musicians deal with painful feelings, fear of rejection and the difficulty involved in the sometimes painful journey toward their dream careers.
I am psychodynamically trained, but my approach is person-centered, insightful, relational, holistic, strengths-based, positive and grounded in compassion and empowerment. Together, we work to help you better understand your experiences, put your emotions into perspective, build resilience, and develop greater self-awareness and confidence. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process that honors your unique story while helping you create meaningful and lasting change.
Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of their mental health. I received my MA in Counseling from Webster University. I have extensive training and success in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD for all ages. I am here to walk together with you on your healing journey and offer perspectives and techniques that will improve your everyday life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fairfield
Finding the right therapist in Fairfield, NJ starts with getting clear on the type of support you're looking for. If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, look for a licensed provider who specializes in those areas. Common provider types include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists — each with different training and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they might be a good match.
Practical details matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Fairfield or virtual appointments, what days and times work for your schedule, and whether a provider's style resonates with you. Many providers offer a free phone consultation, which gives you a chance to ask questions and see if you feel comfortable before booking a full session.
Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider in Fairfield who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
