Dr. Helena Correia

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Tinton Falls, NJ


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.

Happy patient looking away

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 Lakewood

Finding the right therapist in Lakewood, NJ starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Lakewood is home to a large and diverse community in Ocean County, and the demand for mental health care continues to increase. Whether you prefer to meet with a provider in person near the Route 9 corridor or connect from home through a virtual session, having flexible options can make it easier to fit therapy into your schedule. A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right fit before committing.

Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Lakewood who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
