Hi there! My name is Alicia and I am a licensed counselor. The first step in reaching out for help is challenging, so give yourself some credit for making it here.
My goal in sessions is for us to work collaboratively and I can give you the tools you may need to become the best version of yourself. My areas of focus are in working with trauma, family dynamics, and eating disorders.
I am a licensed clinical Social Worker, and I have been in the field of social work and Psychotherapy for over 30 years. If you’re feeling anxious, sad or uncertain as to what to do to feel better I can help. Working together we will be able to uncover the issues of concern where you may be feeling stuck. I will assist you with developing healthy coping and decision-making skills to reduce and eliminate anxiety and feelings of depression. My therapeutic style is empathetic, supportive and engaging.

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.

Hi, my name is YD Goldstein and I'm a clinical psychologist. My specialty is treating OCD, phobias and PTSD. I help adolescents and adults navigate high school, college, dating, academic pressure, work stress, and the exhausting effort of keeping distressing thoughts pushed below the surface.
I also work with new dads adjusting to fatherhood and balancing the demands of their relationships and home life. Many people first reach out to me during a crisis, but once we work through the immediate stress, they often continue in therapy to build resilience, insight, and lasting change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City
Finding the right therapist in Jersey City starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, or life transitions, look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific needs. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit to a session.
Jersey City has a large and diverse provider community, with therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions across neighborhoods like Downtown, The Heights, Journal Square, and Greenville. Practical factors matter too: consider whether you prefer virtual or in-person visits, what days and times work with your schedule, and whether a provider's communication style feels like a good match. A free phone consultation can help you decide before booking your first appointment.
