I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Diplomate in Energy Psychology with advanced training in mindfulness and mind-body approaches to healing. My work integrates neuroscience, somatic awareness, and energy psychology to help clients move beyond symptom management and into genuine transformation.
I specialize in supporting adults and young adults navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and phobias, as well as those seeking greater focus, emotional intelligence, and personal growth. My approach is collaborative and growth-oriented—grounded in presence, compassion, and evidence-based practices that honor both mind and body.
With a background in both traditional therapy and integrative modalities, I aim to help clients reconnect to their innate capacity for healing and resilience—so they can live with more clarity, freedom, and ease.
Are you feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by change, or weighed down by conflict in your relationships? Many of my clients come to me with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship issues, parenting stress, or the lingering effects of past trauma. Some are brand new to therapy, while others have tried it before and left feeling like they didn’t get where they hoped—maybe the fit wasn’t right, or progress stalled. They come ready to deepen insight, break old patterns, and truly level up in their personal growth.

With over 10 years of experience in mental health, I’ve worked extensively with adults, young adults, teens, and families navigating a wide range of stressors. I have also worked with youth in an in-home therapy setting and provided parenting support/education. I facilitated a community group, that ran for a few years, supporting parents and caregivers of children with special needs.
.
I have also worked with many clients with co-occurring chronic health conditions and am a Type 1 Diabetic myself, which has given me unique perspective in this area.

In addition to direct clinical work, I also managed a mental health program, which included mentoring and supervising therapists. I'm passionate about fostering quality care in mental health.
It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.
If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!
I believe feelings aren't obstacles to manage they're signals worth understanding. For over five years, I've worked alongside people who are quietly exhausted: carrying anxiety, sitting with grief, untangling patterns in their relationships, or navigating a life that no longer fits who they're becoming. My clients often describe our sessions as the first place they've felt truly heard without needing to perform strength or explain away their emotions. I work with individuals and couples across New York, New Jersey, and Florida via telehealth, with evening, morning, and weekend availability, so quality care doesn't have to be another thing to schedule around. I accept Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Anthem, Empire, and other major plans. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out we can start exactly where you are.
Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important first step toward feeling better. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward.
My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and person-centered approaches—blending evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and build on your strengths to create a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I work with adults across all stages of life, including those navigating career changes, caregiving roles, or life transitions in later adulthood. I believe healing and growth are possible at any age.
If you’re ready to start your journey toward greater peace and self-understanding, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step together.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, trauma, critical care, geriatrics, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have seen how deeply mental health affects every part of a person’s life, their relationships, work, sleep, confidence, physical health, and ability to feel like themselves.
I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, insomnia, stress, burnout, and life transitions.
My style is warm, empowering, holistic, and solution-oriented. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to help clients feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and move toward feeling whole again. Together, we will look beyond symptoms and explore the life experiences, stressors, sleep patterns, medical concerns, relationships, and personal goals that may be affecting your mental health.
I want clients to leave care feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with a plan that helps them optimize what matters most and build a life they can truly enjoy.
Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain? Life's challenges and transitions can leave us feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of the next step. You don't have to face them alone.
I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.
Together, we'll identify patterns that may be holding you back, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical coping strategies that support lasting growth. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, strengthen confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Healing isn't about becoming someone different—it's about reconnecting with the person you are and creating a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. I would be honored to support you on that journey.
Hello, I’m Dr. Sajid Baig, a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma-related concerns, and co-occurring substance use issues. My approach is based on careful assessment, evidence-based treatment, and a strong commitment to understanding each person’s unique story, strengths, and goals. I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse clinical settings—including outpatient psychiatry, inpatient hospital units, correctional mental health, crisis stabilization, and addiction treatment programs. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for how differently psychiatric conditions can present and how important it is to tailor care to each individual’s circumstances. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or have had prior treatment, I aim to provide clear guidance, steady support, and a treatment plan that feels both effective and collaborative.
Teenagers and young adults deserve to feel accepted, understood, and heard. I specialize in helping high achievers who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, ADHD, and burnout. The relationships that I have with my clients are important to me and I believe that a therapeutic relationship can lead to healing, growth, and a fulfilling life. My style is open-minded, encouraging, and validating. Life can be overwhelming, and my goal is to make it feel a little bit easier- one step at a time.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Transformative Journey Counseling, LLC.

I also earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from The Pennsylvania State University.
I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, trauma, and adjustment-related challenges. My work focuses on empowering clients to gain insight, build resilience, and find healthy ways to cope and grow through life’s transitions.
I’m Dylan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and New Jersey. I support adults who grew up in difficult family systems and are realizing past experiences are still showing up in their relationships today. Most of my clients are in their 20's and 30's and have experienced trauma, anxiety, and challenging family and relationship dynamics. They sometimes feel overwhelmed by the idea of starting therapy, when their plates are already full with day-to-day life. I help them start their therapeutic process in a way that feels welcoming and approachable. I have experience working with diverse client populations and the LGBTQIA+ community. I strive to foster an environment in sessions where clients feel comfortable showing up as their most authentic selves.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Rutgers University. I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and major life transitions. My clinical approach is trauma-informed and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based therapies tailored to each client’s individual needs. I am passionate about helping clients develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.
I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard and supported, but also where meaningful change can happen. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical, and I take an active role in our work together. I’ll meet you where you are while also helping you recognize patterns, challenge what may be keeping you stuck, and find realistic ways to move forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting—we’ll work together to understand what you need and what you want to change.

Frequently asked questions


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.
