Welcome! My name is Toni Ann Fontana, LCSW. I work with kids, teens, adults, caregivers, and families—anyone trying to make sense of a busy, messy, sometimes overwhelming life. I believe therapy should be collaborative, flexible, and tailored to you, not some cookie-cutter plan.
I believe that profound growth and healing can happen when we sense that our story is truly acknowledged with care. Together we can empower you to improve your confidence, self-esteem, general approach to life, and any mental health, trauma, or addiction related symptoms you may be experiencing. With over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health, trauma, and addiction in many roles including, but not limited to primary counselor, illness management and recovery specialist, Seeking Safety clinician, and clinical director, I have significant training working with clients who are experiencing life transitions, mild, moderate, and severe mental health concerns, personality disorders, trauma, and both chemical and non-chemical addictions.
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.
My current credentials are as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Professional Art Therapist (LPAT), Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC), and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). As an immigrant myself, I understand the multi-level variables that take place when adapting to a new culture. Besides, speaking English I am fluent in Spanish and I enjoy working with my Spanish-speaking community. Throughout my years in the mental health field, I have worked with children of diverse ages providing social skills and I have over seven years of experience working for adults in the ID/DD population in both, community and residential settings.
My name is Marley Deutchman, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in NY, NJ, and FL. I treat children, adolescents, and adult clients from diverse backgrounds utilizing treatment approaches based on the developmental level of the individual. I also treat and provide supportive therapies for families and provide parent-training when needed. I have specific training and experience in treating individuals with autistic spectrum disorders.
When life starts to feel overwhelming- managing work, home life, parenting demands, financial stress or simply trying to stay afloat, It is hard to know where to start. I provide a space where you can breathe, find solutions and feel supported. I will help you explore what’s fueling your stress and create a plan for positive change to move forward. I support parents navigating the unique stresses of raising children, offering guidance and practical strategies to address concerns about your child’s wellbeing and manage behavioral challenges with confidence.
Life can be full of joy and blessings, but can often be accompanied by grief and loss and sometimes all at once. Whether you are struggling with not feeling like yourself after having a baby, the daily struggles of parenthood, or the challenges of navigating a new chapter of life with the family that raised you or the one you are raising, we can help. Theresa has worked with individuals, couples, and families just like you and specializes in trauma, grief, and loss with an emphasis in health.
I’m deeply committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. I approach therapy with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand your unique story. I’m here to support them in their journey, offering not just expertise, but also encouragement and a sense of partnership. My practice is all about empowering you to take charge of your life, equipping you with the tools and confidence to navigate whatever challenges come your way.

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.
