Alice Garfinkel

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kelly. Taking this step is big. I provide a down-to-earth, humorous yet warmly empathetic space to spark real change (sweats and pet cameos are welcomed!). I help clients navigate trauma, stress, depression, parenting (and co-parenting), grief, as well as relationship and addiction challenges. Let's work together to find your path forward.

Is your child remarkably sweet, yet intensely difficult? Let's fill up your toolbox and reduce your stress.

You love your spouse but are the end of your rope. Relationships can be healed through accountability and communication to get back "that loving feeling."

I will help you and your loved ones improve communication to find peace and live a happier existence.

Now is the time to find your peace and finally live a happier existence. Act on the motivation you have today and meet me in session. You can conveniently book your session, to the right of my bio.

If you would like to chat briefly prior to booking, I would be happy to. My number is 973-245-9041 ... If not now, when?

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 Highland Park

Finding the right therapist in Highland Park, NJ starts with identifying what you're looking for. Consider the concerns you want to address — such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions — and look for a licensed provider with experience in those areas. Common license types include LCSW, LPC, LMFT, and psychologist, and each brings a different training background to their work.

Highland Park is a close-knit borough in Middlesex County, and many residents also see providers in neighboring communities like New Brunswick, Edison, and Piscataway. Whether you prefer in-person sessions close to home or virtual appointments that fit your schedule, having both options can make it easier to stay consistent with care. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good fit.

Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. 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 therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.
