ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Jersey City, NJ

Did you experience trauma in childhood or adolescence? Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, fear, or depression? Do you feel misunderstood by others, judged, or find it challenging to connect with others? Therapy is a safe place where you can understand yourself better and learn to cope with these thoughts and feelings, which may be interfering with your happiness, health, and relationships.

I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of postpartum mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, weight management, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

I have 10+ years of experience working with preteens, teens, and adults in both clinical and non-clinical manners. I began my career as a therapist working at and developing a clinical program within a public school system. Additionally, I worked for a company which provided Intensive In-Community (IIC) Services for youth and families in Bergen County. These career opportunities have rewarded me with a wealth of knowledge in areas of anxiety, depression, ADHD, family and peer conflict, school avoidance and life transitions for preteens, teens, and even young adults.

As a board certified provider in both Psychiatry and Internal Medicine, Dr. Gordon Kusi specialize in working with individuals who may be experiencing ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, substance use, depression or trauma—particularly when these struggles stem from difficult relationships or family dynamics. In our initial sessions, we will take the time to explore the challenges you're facing in depth and work together to create a personalized plan for healing and growth. Many of my clients begin to notice a gradual relief from symptoms within the first month, with continued improvement over time. My goal is to support you in regaining a sense of balance, clarity, and control so you can move forward with greater confidence and peace
