Alice Garfinkel

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Plainfield, NJ

Searching for therapists in Plainfield starts with identifying the kind of support and clinical experience that match your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare Plainfield therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and populations served in each profile. Details like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience supporting young adults can help you decide who may be a fit.

Plainfield has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across New Jersey while keeping care accessible from home. In-person sessions may be a better fit if you prefer an office setting or want a therapist near your commute. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. These details can help you compare fit before your first appointment.

Therapy in Plainfield can be a significant cost 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 search for therapists who match your preferences, confirm your insurance details, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Plainfield, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
