I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark

Finding the right addiction therapist in Newark starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Addiction and substance use disorders can involve alcohol, drugs, or behavioral patterns — and the right provider depends on your specific situation. Look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist who specializes in addiction counseling and has experience with concerns like yours. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background, approach, and what a session with them looks like.

Newark has a range of mental health care options, but narrowing your search can take time — especially when you need a provider who is both qualified and accepting new patients. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, speaks your language, or is located near neighborhoods like the Ironbound, Downtown Newark, or University Heights.

Addiction counseling in Newark can be costly without insurance. Using 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 before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per session depending on your coverage.
