Hi! My name is Claudine Destine; I am a Dual-Certified Family/Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 9 years of experience. I have a Master's degree in Nursing. I have experience treating Depression, Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and other mental illnesses.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have been in the field since 2018. While pursuing my Masters degree at Georgian Court, I worked in community mental health doing in home visits. Since then, I’ve worked with those in active addiction and early sobriety, higher levels of care such as IOPs and PHPs, up until now being in private practice.
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.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Westfield, NJ starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Think about the concerns you want to address — whether that's anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else — and whether you'd prefer a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist. Providers in the Westfield area offer a range of approaches, from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to trauma-focused care and family therapy.
Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you want in-person sessions close to home or the flexibility of virtual appointments. Check that a provider is fully licensed in New Jersey, and read their bio to get a sense of their style and areas of focus. A free phone consultation can also help you gauge fit before booking your first session.
Therapy in the Westfield area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to lower costs.
