Couples therapists in Newark, NJ

Hi! I am a licensed mental health therapist, currently practicing in 5 states (NJ, NC, FL, GA and TX).

I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology from LaSalle University, over 13 years ago.

My goal is to give you the tools needed to stop surviving, and start living an authentic life. In a safe and secure place, we will face the past, heal it and bring you to become the best version of yourself.

No single approach fits all clients; I tailor my approach to each client, making it relevant to the specific problem they are facing. The best way to understand your current issues is to examine how your past influences who you are today. I also emphasize understanding your emotions and past patterns to ensure a better understanding of yourself. I strive to provide a gentle and warm experience, ensuring you are comfortable within the therapy setting and process these hard feelings through a genuine relationship. I also ensure that you understand the process of our work together so you can feel informed and empowered.

My name is Ron Morris, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience. I specialize in individual and couples therapy, working with trauma, attachment patterns, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and the patterns that underlie them. I am direct, honest, and collaborative. You'll get:

• Clear, respectful feedback about patterns I'm observing
• Practical tools you can use immediately
• Understanding of the deeper beliefs and patterns underneath surface struggles
• Accountability balanced with compassion
• Respect for your pace, with gentle pushes toward growth

WHAT TO EXPECT IN OUR WORK

You can expect:

• A safe, non-judgmental space to be fully honest
• To understand the roots of what's happening, not just the symptoms
• Practical skills and strategies you can use between sessions
• Deeper insight into your patterns and what drives them
• To be challenged respectfully

Welcome! I’m Erica Ali, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over six years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strength. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nyack Alliance Graduate School of Counseling.

My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, build resilience, and develop tools to support lasting mental wellness. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward a healthier, more balanced life.

You may look successful on the outside, yet still feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck in painful relationship patterns. Trauma can shape how you see yourself, trust others, and respond to stress—and healing is possible. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating the effects of childhood trauma, relationship wounds, abuse, violence, anxiety, emotional shutdown, and major life transitions. My background in emergency services, victim advocacy, and legal system collaboration allows me to support clients facing complex trauma, safety concerns, and high-stress situations with compassion, expertise, and a focus on empowerment.

I offer a calm, mindful, and collaborative approach to therapy, creating a space where clients feel respected, understood, and supported to achieve their wellness goals.
