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.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for LGBTQIA therapists in Newark starts with finding identity-affirming care that matches your needs. An LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist may support people exploring sexuality, gender identity, relationship concerns, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience with LGBTQIA+ communities. This can help you find a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach align with the kind of support you want.
Newark offers both local office visits and virtual therapy options, which can help widen your search for an affirming therapist. If nearby options feel limited, virtual appointments may make it easier to find therapists specializing in gender identity, sexuality therapy, counseling for LGBTQIA+ concerns, or support for couples and families. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their approach, communication style, and experience with LGBTQIA+ populations before you book.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, many of whom are accepting new patients, and offers upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
