Welcome to Mateh Behavioral Health & Wellness. I am a doctoral-prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner committed to providing compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based mental health care in a safe and supportive environment. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and other behavioral health concerns across the lifespan, with a special passion for women’s mental health and wellness, including perinatal/postpartum care, hormonal mood changes, and holistic emotional wellbeing. My approach combines expert medication management, supportive therapy, and whole-person wellness strategies—empowering every client to feel heard, valued, and confident on their journey toward healing and lasting wellness.
Welcome to therapy! My name is Diomarys Nuñez, I am a bilingual, Dominican Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained my Masters in Clinical Counseling in 2020. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, in both rural and urban settings, with individuals from ages 3-70. I specialize in maternal/perinatal mental health, women's issues, racial/cultural trauma, along with other mental health challenges.
I'm Vesna Vidojevikj, a psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in New Jersey and New York, with nearly 9 years of specialized experience in mental health. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, and I also support clients navigating depression, PTSD, trauma, OCD, and addiction. I believe mental health care should be more than a prescription — it should be a real conversation. My practice blends medication management with meaningful therapeutic support, so you receive the time and attention you deserve. I am currently accepting new telehealth clients on Fridays, evenings, and weekends.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. You can expect me to bring warmth, curiosity, and clear feedback to our work together. I’m not afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be holding you back, but always from a place of empathy and respect. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and build the emotional skills needed to feel more grounded and in control of your life.
As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), I provide comprehensive, evidence-based care to individuals receiving inpatient and outpatient services through Rutgers Behavioral Health. I work with patients navigating a wide range of mental health challenges, with a focus on individualized, compassionate treatment. My goal is to help you achieve symptom relief, strengthen resilience, and move toward a more stable and fulfilling life aligned with your personal goals
I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of postpartum mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, weight management, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Newark, NJ
Searching for postpartum therapists in Newark starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum concerns, or credentials such as perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C). A therapist’s bio can also show whether their approach, communication style, and listed specialties fit what you’re looking for.
In Newark, your search may include therapists with offices near downtown, University Heights, the Ironbound, or nearby Essex County communities. In-person sessions may work well if commute time, transit access, or a regular office setting fits your schedule. Virtual appointments can also make care more accessible for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, feeding schedules, or changing availability. To narrow your options, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, choose a therapist who accepts your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
