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!

I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through behavioral health and substance use challenges. My approach is grounded in trauma‐informed care, cultural sensitivity, and meeting people exactly where they are. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Monmouth University and have worked across inpatient, outpatient, community, and addiction treatment settings. My background includes detox and MAT services, crisis stabilization, care coordination, and leading interdisciplinary teams. I also serve as a clinical instructor for BSN students, which keeps me connected to education, mentorship, and the next generation of nurses.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Jersey City starts with identifying a provider who has specific training or experience in identity-affirming care — not just someone who lists it as a checkbox. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LCSW, LPC, psychologist, or psychiatrist) whose bio reflects familiarity with topics like coming out, gender identity, minority stress, relationship dynamics, or navigating family and cultural expectations. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and background.
Jersey City is one of the most diverse cities in New Jersey, and the LGBTQIA+ community here spans a wide range of cultural backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. A provider who practices intersectional, culturally responsive care can make a meaningful difference. Many providers on Headway offer both virtual and in-person sessions, so you can choose what feels most comfortable — whether that's meeting face-to-face in your neighborhood or connecting from home.
Therapy in the Jersey City area can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. A free phone consultation is also available with many providers, so you can see if the fit feels right before committing to a session.
