Dr. Kristin Brown

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Kristin! My path to becoming a therapist began during my junior year of college, when I was working at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. There, I met a group of Social Work graduate students whose passion and genuine desire to help people deeply resonated with me. Their enthusiasm inspired me to pursue Social Work, and I've never looked back. Since then, I've become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience supporting veterans, military service members and their families, women around maternal/pre/post partum challenges, and those experiencing grief, life transitions, and trauma. I’ve worked as both a clinician and a leader, which means I bring a balance of down‐to‐earth therapeutic support and strong clinical insight. I recently graduated from a doctoral program in Social Work and am thrilled to be teaching the next generation of Social Workers!

Hi, I’m Bushra. I provide therapy for Asian American, Queer, and Muslim clients through an intersectional lens. I have 9 years of experience working with clients who are managing day-to-day anxiety, navigating an unjust society, working through their identity and cultural expectations, and figuring out relationships—whether that’s with family, friends, partners, or themselves. I believe that we’re all human doing our best to move through a complicated world. The choices we make don’t come out of nowhere. They’re shaped by our environments, our histories, families, and the systems we live within.

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

Finding a therapist in New Jersey 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, grief, or something else — and whether you'd prefer virtual sessions or in-person visits. New Jersey is home to a wide range of licensed providers, including licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists, each with different training and areas of focus.

With so many providers practicing across the state, narrowing your options can take time. Reading a provider's bio is one of the most useful steps you can take. Look for details about their approach, the populations they work with, and what a session with them looks like. A free phone consultation, when available, can also help you decide if a provider feels like the right match before you commit.

Therapy in New Jersey can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to bring costs down. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their coverage and location.
