Welcome! I’m Erica Ali, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over six years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strength. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nyack Alliance Graduate School of Counseling.
My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, build resilience, and develop tools to support lasting mental wellness. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply looking to improve your overall well-being, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward a healthier, more balanced life.
Hello! Congratulations for taking the first steps in getting the support you desire. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained in Psychotherapy and provide a warm, supportive, non-judgmental and collaborative, therapeutic environment so you may gravitate toward leading a life that's happy and fulfilling. I provide individualized treatment for women who are doing well, but are seeking deep and insightful reasons for their unhappiness. Whether it stems from sensitivities from past family trauma, feelings of insecurities within yourself or your relationships, stressors at work, or the feeling that something just "isn't right." I specialize in working with women navigating life's challenges, motivated toward personal/professional growth, who struggle with family/emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship and identity concerns, grief and loss, chronic illness, and major life changes. I also have experience supporting clients through pre/perinatal and postpartum concerns, peri-menopausal, and post-menopausal mood and anxiety issues, as well as cultural, spiritual and religious trauma. Additionally, I am passionate about helping creative professionals, whether they seek employment as artists, writers, actors or musicians deal with painful feelings, fear of rejection and the difficulty involved in the sometimes painful journey toward their dream careers.
I am psychodynamically trained, but my approach is person-centered, insightful, relational, holistic, strengths-based, positive and grounded in compassion and empowerment. Together, we work to help you better understand your experiences, put your emotions into perspective, build resilience, and develop greater self-awareness and confidence. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process that honors your unique story while helping you create meaningful and lasting change.
Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of their mental health. I received my MA in Counseling from Webster University. I have extensive training and success in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD for all ages. I am here to walk together with you on your healing journey and offer perspectives and techniques that will improve your everyday life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Princeton
Finding the right therapist in Princeton, NJ starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you need help with a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or ADHD — or whether you'd benefit from general talk therapy. Providers on Headway include licensed therapists (LCSWs, LPCs, LMFTs, and psychologists) and psychiatrists who can prescribe medication, so you can choose the type of care that fits your situation.
Princeton has a large concentration of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still take time. Reading a provider's bio is one of the best ways to understand their approach, specialties, and what a session with them looks like. If you're unsure whether a provider is the right match, many offer a free phone consultation before your first paid session.
Therapy in the Princeton area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their coverage.
