Hello I am Clyde who wants to ensure you receive the best treatment you can, offering treatment in a safe space, nonjudgmental, honest, confidential, timely warm, kind, considerate, professional, ethical, skillful, relevant, current way. Look forward to getting to know you.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 19 years of experience, I provide culturally sensitive care to those navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Hello, I'm Jackelyn Alvarez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey. I earned my Masters of Social Work degree from Rutgers University in 2017. With several years of experience, I've worked across diverse settings including Respite care, Supportive housing, Outpatient clinic, and Intensive In Community Counseling. Fluent in Spanish, I also have extensive experience conducting telehealth sessions. I've worked with individuals of all ages, from children to geriatric populations.
My ideal client is someone who has been carrying a lot of anxiety that feels constant, sadness that lingers, or the impact of past experiences that still shape their day-to-day life. They may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. What they want most is to feel understood, supported, and capable of navigating life with more ease. They want relief from the weight they carry, but they also want to reconnect with their strengths, build confidence, and live in a way that feels authentic to them. My ideal client doesn’t need to have all the answers they just need the courage to take the first step.
Welcome! I specialize in evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related concerns, grief, and life transitions. I work with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, first responders, veterans, and families seeking structured support and meaningful change.
I use compassion, warmth, and a touch of humor to help clients feel safe, understood, and at ease during our work together. I also strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore challenges without judgment and reconnect with their strengths.
Therapeutically, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed practices, psychodynamic approaches, DBT skills, mindfulness, and strengths-based coaching to support clarity, healing, and growth at each client’s pace.
Inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the Four Immeasurables—happiness, joy, compassion, and equanimity—my practice reflects a commitment to cultivating emotional resilience and deeper wellbeing in everyday life.
Whether you're seeking support through stress, trauma, neurodivergence, identity development, or life transitions, my role is to walk with you, guide you, and help you discover meaningful change from the inside out.
Robbenmarie works well with adolescents and adults for general mental health, as well as adults for trauma focused therapy. She is trained in EMDR approaches, as well as evidenced-based skills and therapy to improve your overall mental health!I have a warm and empathetic approach towards my clients. I especially value deep commitment and understanding as I get to know you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Metuchen
Finding the right therapist in Metuchen starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons residents seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions. If you're considering couples or family therapy, look for a provider with specific training in those areas. For medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.
Metuchen is a small borough, so your search may extend to nearby communities like Edison, Highland Park, or Woodbridge. Virtual sessions can also expand your options — many licensed New Jersey providers see patients from anywhere in the state. When reviewing a provider, pay attention to their specialty, approach, and credentials (such as LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist) to find someone who matches your needs.
Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your costs. 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 depending on their coverage.
