The best laid plans of mice and men may not always cover every eventuality. Life often changes the drop of a dime, and when that happens, you will need someone who can empathize and work with you as the unique individual you are. While changes are inevitable, they may not always be negative. I will work with you on finding you a new path forward in this new stage of your life.

As a board-certified Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Licensed Social Worker, I believe it is imperative to treat co-occurring diagnosis simultaneously. Reaching out for help can be difficult, so congratulations for taking the first step! I've worked primarily in the field of addiction for six years, licensed for four. In the last year, I have shifted my focus on mental health and working with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety and depression.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.

Therapy in the Jersey City area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to see estimated session costs upfront, so you know what to expect before you book.
