Family therapy and counseling in Jersey City, NJ

During my training, I worked in 5 diverse school environments and trained clinically with seasoned therapists. I work with all populations, but my areas of focus are adolescents, teens, young adults and the Orthodox Jewish and Ex-Orthodox communities.

I have my Masters in Psychology from New York University and am nationally certified as a counselor. I have experience with a diverse population of clients, and extensive experience working with emerging adults (18-25), couples, families and adults of all ages and backgrounds. In addition, I also have experience with creative professionals in music/art fields, working with Backline Care.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships or the inability to say NO! Are you tired of feeling like nothing will change or your stuck in life because you don't know what to do to make it better? I focus on adults using CBT, REBT, Person Centered and Motivational interviewing to assist clients in learning more about themselves and their perspective on life. I have experience working with many different mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, marital/relationship issues and career struggles to name a few.

Are you ready to tackle obstacles and improve your quality of life? Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression or ADHD? Do you find it difficult to function in school, at work or to complete tasks at home? Do you feel like other people don’t quite understand you? As I have experienced these struggles myself, know that you are not alone.

As a board-certified psychiatrist who specializes in providing medication management and psychotherapy to all ages, I believe that prioritizing mental health is the key to unlocking happiness and stability in life.

Hi, I’m Jessica! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports individuals, children, and families through life’s ups and downs. I’m fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and passionate about making therapy feel comfortable and accessible for everyone. My goal is to create a warm, understanding space where you feel heard and supported as you work toward healing and growth.

I bring nearly two decades of clinical experience across prevention, outpatient, residential, and program leadership settings. I am a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC), a certified clinical supervisor (CCS), and a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP) and I am certified in addiction-informed mental health (CAIMHP). That means I understand how anxiety, trauma, addiction, and relationship patterns often overlap — and I treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. My style is direct, compassionate, and grounded. I believe therapy should feel safe but also purposeful. I will listen carefully and validate your experience, but I will also help you gently challenge patterns that are keeping you stuck. My goal is not just insight — it’s meaningful change. Clients often describe me as down to earth, funny, honest, and practical. I am not overly clinical or full of jargon. I believe in real conversations, collaborative goal-setting, and helping you build tools you can actually use in your everyday life.

If you are struggling with addiction, anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationship stress, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Therapy with me is a space where you can be honest, imperfect, and human — while still moving toward growth and stability.

Hi, I’m Jilian a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 7 years of experience as a practicing clinician.

I offer telehealth psychotherapy for individuals of all ages who are navigating complex emotions, trauma, recovery, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a space that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering.

I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, other mood disorders, addiction & recovery, ADHD, trauma, and crisis-related issues. I support fellow caregivers and helping professionals who need space to process their own pain. I also incorporate elements of Gottman Method Couples Therapy for clients navigating relationship challenges.

My experience in crisis intervention and emergency psychiatric care has given me a deep respect for the resilience it takes to keep going, even when things feel impossible. I aim to create a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment and begin to rewrite the stories that have kept you stuck.

Outside of therapy I’m passionate about music, tarot, astrology, animals, spirituality, and connecting with nature as forms of self-reflection and grounding.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. My priority is to help you achieve wellbeing in your relational, emotional, and mental health. I look forward to connecting with you on your goals for therapy, and how we can achieve them together!

Hi, my name is Dr. Lynn Rosenthal. I have many decades of experience helping people with issues presented. I have two Masters degrees and one doctorate in psychology. My experience varies assisting many with different issues within individual, couples, and marital counseling. I also provide clinical supervision and I am a Board Certified Executive Coach. I have afternoon and evening appointment available.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years in the field, and I work with both adults and couples. Throughout my career, I've worked with family preservation services working with parents and children in their home, intensive outpatient (IOP) groups with a diverse population and private practice. I earned my bachelor's degree in behavioral science (with a minor in sociology) from York College of Pennsylvania, and my Master's in Social Work from Rutgers University. I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, trauma, self care and prioritizing yourself.

Please note my schedule doesn't always reflect my availability. We can discuss a schedule that works for us during our consultation.

I am here to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore life's challenges. My background in clinical social work means I not only focus on your internal experiences, but also understand how family, community, social factors, and your health impact your well-being. I subscribe to a simple philosophy: you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to stand with you, offering support and new perspectives within the context of your unique world.

Partner 1: “I reach for you, but it feels like you’re already gone.” I’m left wondering if I matter to you at all.” Partner 2: “When you come close, I feel the pressure to be perfect, so I pull back to protect us both.” These unspoken messages leave couples lonely and stuck. I help break this anxious–avoidant cycle so partners feel safe, seen, and deeply connected again.

“I don’t understand why I want closeness so badly, yet feel disappointed when I have it. Why do I feel lonelier than others, even when I’m not alone?” Or: “I care deeply, but people say I’m distant or hard to read. When emotions get intense, I shut down—not because I don’t feel, but because it feels like too much.”

These quiet tensions live beneath awareness for many people. Longing and self-protection pull in opposite directions. Needs feel confusing, emotions feel overwhelming or unsafe, and core beliefs quietly form—I’m too much, I’m not enough, connection costs me something.

I help people loosen these patterns, reconcile the Self with more truthful and adaptive beliefs, and move toward self-acceptance and interdependence—where connection no longer threatens safety, but deepens it.

After nine years serving in the U.S. Coast Guard, I realized my deepest fulfillment came not from fixing systems, but from walking with people. Leaving the military was not a departure from service—it was a continuation of it. I pursued social work and theological training to better support people in their most important relationships. Today, my practice is devoted to couples counseling and trauma-informed care. Drawing primarily from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and EMDR, I help couples slow conflict, understand what drives disconnection, and emotional safety. As a veteran and seminary-trained therapist, I bring structure, compassion, and steady hope—meeting clients with respect, grace, and a belief in lasting change.
