Hello there! My name is Anjelica and I look forward to learning more about you! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in the field. I received my BA in Psychology from Penn State and my MSW from Walden University. The majority of my experience as a young social worker came from a large community mental health agency in Ocean County, NJ. I spent a lot of time with individuals with severe and persistent mental illness (schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, major depression, trauma, ext). One of my favorite populations to work with are the homeless. I spent years working for PATH in the community and found this work exceptionally rewarding. I also worked for a time with local police departments as the department social worker. Another population I enjoy working with is teens. My graduate internship was at a shelter for children and adolescents aged 10-19 who were homelessness or waiting for foster placement. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors in an outpatient therapeutic setting.

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City

Finding a postpartum therapist in Jersey City starts with identifying the type of support you need. Perinatal mental health concerns — including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and mood changes during or after pregnancy — are common, and support from a qualified healthcare professional may help. Look for a licensed provider such as an LCSW, LPC, or psychologist with specific experience in maternal mental health. Some providers hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which indicates advanced training in this area.

With many providers practicing across Jersey City and Hudson County, narrowing your options can take time — especially as a new parent. Consider what matters most: a provider who offers virtual sessions you can attend from home, one who uses a specific approach like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or one whose schedule aligns with yours. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Jersey City can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
