Hi, I’m Katie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should feel like a real, human connection.

With the proper support and guidance, therapy helps you cultivate your strengths, regain control, learn ways to overcome challenges, enrich your life, and take steps toward a more fulfilling future. I can help you identify patterns in your life so that you can develop a clearer understanding of your life experiences and create more positive relationships and productive behavior change. I take an active and empathetic approach to psychotherapy by establishing mutually agreed upon therapeutic goals with my clients and providing a comfortable space to explore, discuss, and be heard.


My specialty areas include anxiety, depression, life transitions, disordered eating, and interpersonal and relationship difficulties. My therapy style combines psychodynamic, CBT and DBT therapies based on the specific needs of each client.


If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're simply ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Joslainez Gonzalo

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I work with children, teens, and young adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure of themselves. I know it can be hard to open up, especially if you’re used to holding things in. I’ve seen how powerful it is when people feel truly heard and supported.

I currently support middle and high school students in a therapeutic school setting and continue to provide in home therapy and family-based therapy; as well as facilitate process groups for adolescents and parent support groups.

I focus on challenges on anxiety, mood changes, trauma, and self-esteem challenges- areas that can deeply impact how someone sees themselves and moves through the world.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and value creating a culturally responsive and welcoming space. Therapy with me is collaborative — we move at your pace, but we also work toward real growth. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. We’ll work through it together.

With over a decade of dedicated experience in the field of substance use disorders (SUD), I have spent the majority of my career specializing in co-occurring mental health and addiction treatment. I am a dual-licensed professional in the state of New Jersey, holding credentials as both a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT).

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.

Julia Hayward

Julia Hayward

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • New Providence, NJ


Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.

I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.
