My name is Marie. I am an advanced practice nurse dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey toward mental and emotional well-being. I hold an MSN from Walden University I have about 5 years of experience working in the mental health field as a nurse. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations, which has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of Rutgers University (MSW). With 18 years of experience as a therapist, my belief is that we are born with the ability to self-generate the changes we might be seeking at any point in one's life-span.
Seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or simply feeling stuck. My goal is to provide a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the feeling that you need to have everything figured out.
With advanced training in both Clinical Psychology and Psychiatric Nursing from Columbia University, along with over a decade of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD/trauma, and substance use disorders. I understand that symptoms rarely exist in isolation, which is why I take the time to understand the whole person—not just a diagnosis or a list of symptoms.
I believe the best outcomes happen when treatment feels like a true partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I bring clinical expertise, guidance, and support. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns behind your struggles, identify what's keeping you stuck, and develop a personalized plan that helps you move toward the life you want to live.
Whether you're looking for therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, my approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. My goal is not only to help you feel better in the short term, but to help you build lasting insight, resilience, and confidence so that you can continue thriving long after our work together.
Hi! My name is Stefanie. I began my learning as a therapist at the University of Pennsylvania where I earned my Master of Social Work degree. I have worked with individuals experiencing difficulties with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflict, life transitions, and discovering their identity.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark
Finding the right OCD therapist in Newark starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is typically addressed with specialized approaches like exposure and response prevention (ERP) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Some people may choose to discuss treatment options, including medication support, with a qualified psychiatrist. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has direct experience working with OCD.
Newark has a range of mental health providers, and narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, speaks your language, or has experience with a specific OCD subtype. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before your first session.
Therapy in Newark can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
