Hi! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with teens, young adults, and middle-aged adults on a variety of concerns, including anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also have a special interest in supporting clients with eating disorders, body image, and body positivity, including HAES approaches, and offer family-based support when helpful. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported.
Dorothy Rose Forgione is a highly experienced, dually licensed therapist with over 20 years in private practice and more than 30 years of clinical experience. She has worked across a wide range of settings, including Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), parole groups, and co-occurring disorder groups.
Dorothy has extensive experience treating a broad spectrum of mental health conditions, including Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Schizotypal and Schizoid Personality Disorders, Antisocial Personality Disorder, depression, PTSD, and all phases of addiction. She is also a co-occurring disorders specialist and advanced hypnotherapist. Her work spans individuals and couples, with a strong track record of successful outcomes.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor. I received my masters degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University and I have nearly 20 years of experience working with clients with many concerns including but not limited to: depression, anxiety, OCD, self esteem, and substance abuse. I have worked in many different treatment settings including outpatient, inpatient, hospital, in home, school based, and private practice.
We all get overwhelmed and new challenges can emerge, coping skills cease working, and new skills need developing. Therapy can help light the way. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, panic, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, or other concerns, therapy can provide you with the tools to cope and thrive. I want to be there to support you during this process.
Successful therapy starts with the formation of the counselor-client bond. Therapy is a relationship where a private, supportive, and non-judgmental alliance is fostered. Psychic injuries, biological dispositions, familial and life experiences shape our present. The past affects how we relate to others and why we carry wounds into the present. New and old life events can lead to self-destructive coping. Therapy can equip you with strategies to manage anxiety, improve relationships, and feel more in control of your life. Symptoms and diagnosis need not define us. We can learn to appreciate life’s joy and successes.
Good therapy should, at its core, feel like talking with a friend and that’s the kind of therapist I strive to be. Therapy is a two-way street - the best results are achieved when you are in the driver’s seat. But sometimes we all need someone to help us steer when the storm rolls in. Someone to help you figure out where you are on the map and then help you get where you want to go. I want to be that person for my clients

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.
