Julia Hayward

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • New Providence, NJ


Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.

I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.

Rachel Borisow

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Belvidere, NJ


In my role as a therapist, I genuinely enjoy getting to know, deeply understanding, and helping others. I recognize that every person is unique, possessing inherent worth and pre-existing strengths, skills, and challenges, and facing genuinely difficult obstacles. Therefore, I meet each person with unconditional positive regard, and open, nonjudgmental curiosity.

I have worked successfully and collaboratively with a diverse range of adults of all ages (including senior citizens and adolescents), couples, and families. This includes those facing ambivalence at a pivotal juncture in life, as well as those struggling with persistent issues, such as depression or other mood disorders; anxiety disorders; ADHD, neurodivergence, and neurodevelopmental disorders; acute and complex trauma; schizophrenia spectrum disorders; addiction and codependency issues; grief and loss; and issues unique to adolescence, aging, women’s experiences, and gender diversity.

I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at Gettysburg College and my Master's in Clinical Social Work at Rutgers University. In addition to my years in private practice, I have benefited from past experiences working in a high school setting, intensive outpatient settings, programs for those with co-occurring mental health and addiction needs, and programs serving those with co-occurring mental health and neurodevelopmental diagnoses.

All people are unique, and all behavior makes sense in its context when thoroughly explored and understood. I look forward to learning each person’s preferences and life experiences, and enjoy collaborating with them for positive change that significantly impacts their life and their future trajectory.

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 Chester

Searching for therapists in Chester starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. Many people look for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options for Chester therapy, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training fit your needs. A bio can help you understand whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Chester is a smaller community, so local appointment options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual therapy can give you more choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can show you how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and describes their approach to care.

Therapy in Chester can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments when available. You can review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you find a fit.
