As a board-certified Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Licensed Social Worker, I believe it is imperative to treat co-occurring diagnosis simultaneously. Reaching out for help can be difficult, so congratulations for taking the first step! I've worked primarily in the field of addiction for six years, licensed for four. In the last year, I have shifted my focus on mental health and working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety and depression.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hackensack

Finding the right therapist in Hackensack starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Consider whether you're looking for help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges — or broader support during a life transition. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training and approaches. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Hackensack is home to a wide range of licensed mental health providers, many of whom also serve nearby Bergen County communities like Teaneck, Maywood, and River Edge. Providers on Headway offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule. Many also offer a free phone consultation, giving you a chance to connect before committing to a session.

Therapy in the Hackensack area can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — though costs vary based on your location and specific coverage.
