Welcome! It takes great courage to connect with a new therapist. I welcome you to this experience. As a psychologist and a registered nurse (ret) I have helped with many forms of difficulty. In practice for over 3 decades, I have learned what works and what doesn't. I match your style and strengths with the change you desire. I have been fortunate to study with educational leaders. My experiences in medical, psychiatric and emergency settings taught me a wide range of interventions that can be helpful.
Let's find your treasure. Give me a call for a free consultation to see if we're a match.
Deeply experienced regarding addiction and its co-occurring disorders, as well as family and relationship dynamics.
Nice to meet you all. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow as a clinician while supporting others. The first half of my career I spent working with adolescents in schools and in their homes as a therapist. I gained a deep appreciation for their resilience, insight and growth. I currently work with adults who have both mental and physical challenges providing compassionate, person-centered care.
Hello and welcome!
I'm George Rosemond Griffith, a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey. I believe that investing in your mental health is one of the most empowering steps you can take, so congratulations on being here. I've been practicing for 14 years, most of that time in an adolescent PH setting. I specialize in areas like substance use, anger management, anxiety, depression, and sexual trauma. Above all, I create a warm, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and build on your strengths. I'd be honored to walk this path with you.

I value my client's opinions and input into the treatment they receive.
Welcome! Allow me to introduce myself! I am a dually licensed professional counselor and I use a combination of CBT and client centered approaches to help my clients! - it wouldn’t be unlike me to ask what your “theme song” is!

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.
