Tianna Dow

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I work with adults who are carrying more than they let on — people who show up for everyone else and aren't quite sure how to show up for themselves. My clients come to me with anxiety that runs in the background of their lives, grief that doesn't fit neatly into a timeline, relationships that feel harder than they should, and transitions that have left them questioning who they are now. I'm a Black therapist, and I bring that fully into the room. For clients seeking a culturally affirming space — someone who gets the weight of navigating identity, community expectations, and mental health at the same time — I want you to know you don't have to explain yourself here. I work exclusively with adults 18 and older via telehealth across New Jersey. I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon, and I keep sessions to 60 minutes so we can go deep without rushing. Healing isn't linear, and I'm not going to pretend it is — but I'll be with you through all of it.

Hadiyah Finney

Hadiyah Finney

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Throughout my career, I have been a champion of family life and have served people of every age (children, adolescent, teen, adult, and seniors) and phase (single, married, parenting, empty nester, retired, and managing chronic health diagnoses). We are wired for connection, but we experience challenges when we struggle to keep our relationships stable. Managing life can be overwhelming if we do not have the right supports in place and fail to equip ourselves with the needed tools. My goal as a therapist is to aid my clients in maintaining wellness in all areas of their life. How we think and how we feel are the greatest contributors to the reality we live. I will help you to embrace what is helping and release what no longer serves you. I am a great listener and a compassionate servant leader. I create a safe space for exploration, learning and healing.

Happy patient looking away

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 New Jersey

Searching for therapists in New Jersey starts with finding the right fit for your needs, location, and schedule. Across the state, therapy options can vary between urban, suburban, and rural areas, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with. That may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. You can also look for training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Your search may look different in Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, South Jersey, or a smaller New Jersey community. Some people prefer an in-person therapist close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include before you book.

The cost of therapy in New Jersey can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual or in-person options in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
