LGBT therapists in Newark, NJ

Welcome! My name is Jill. I am an LCSW with 20 years of individual and group counseling experience. I have worked with teens and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings, treating anxiety, depression and a variety of mental health needs. I have specialized training treating sexual disorders, trauma, anger management, and relapse prevention.

I have over 17 years experience working in the mental health field. I have extensive experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, transitions in life and grief. I meet clients where they are at to help them explore and process their patterns of thinking and the impact those patterns have on their daily functioning and goals.

As a licensed Psychotherapist in New Jersey, I am committed to the well-being of all my patients and go above and beyond to cater to their needs. I truly care for all of my clients, and work diligently to help find them the answers they seek. I have worked with a variety of patients dealing with circumstances that are unique to their lives and felt truly honored that they allowed me to join them on their wellness journeys.

My work as a therapist has included supporting clients throughout various stages of life and throughout all walks of life. I am extremely passionate about providing my clients with an understanding, compassionate, non-judgmental space, where my clients can work towards creating and maintaining healthy relationships, not only with others, but also with themselves.

I aim to assist in overcoming the challenges and obstacles client’s are faced with in their day-to-day lives. Helping clients overcome challenges and obstacles surrounding, but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma and grief/bereavement.

I attended Rutgers University for my Bachelor’s degree and Master's degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in New Jersey

My ideal client is someone wrestling with feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of authenticity. They may be navigating societal pressures or personal challenges that keep them from embracing who they are fully. Often, they feel held back by the weight of living up to others' expectations and yearn for a life where they can be unapologetically themselves. They want a space to explore and validate their lived experiences, uncover their genuine self, and build a life that feels both radically authentic and fulfilling.

Many people decide to seek counseling at critical and defining moments in their lives - and it is always a good choice. If you’re here because you’ve been struggling for a way out of a difficult situation, a stuck place, a set of old patterns, a maze of misguided choices or you’re just looking for an ally or extra support in your life, you’ve come to the right place.

Do others see you as someone who has it all together? Inside, are you feeling like you're falling apart? Do feelings of emptiness consume you?

For many people suffering with emotional wounds, anxiety, isolation and hopelessness can become a daily part of life.

You don't have to face it alone. We can work together to find new solutions for wellness, healing and recovery

Hi, I’m Rebecca, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey. I believe that mental health is the foundation of overall wellness and plays a vital role in helping us thrive in every area of life. I view therapy as a space for growth and self-discovery—one where anyone can take steps toward bettering themselves, even when the timing doesn’t feel perfect. There’s never a “right” time to start, only a meaningful choice to start where you are.

I think all people have a brilliant capacity to heal and connect with their innate self-worth. I create a warm and comforting space where you will feel seen and heard, and I will work collaboratively with you to identify your wishes for therapy.

I earned my Masters in Social Work at Temple University in Philadelphia. I am licensed in NJ and CA.
