Hi, I’m Heather Wilson Pham, a psychotherapist and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) candidate with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, and financial stress, especially when these challenges are connected. My work focuses on empowering clients to build confidence, clarity, and independence in both their emotional and practical lives. I blend therapy with real-world strategies so clients can create meaningful, lasting change.
Please note: My practice is currently focused on individual therapy, and I am not accepting new couples at this time.
I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.
I am a Florida state licensed Mental Health Counselor, a New Jersey state licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor, an Approved Clinical Supervisor and an Equine Interaction Professional. I have a great deal of experience in the treatment of addiction, dual diagnosis, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, behavioral issues, autism, relationship issues, and family conflict in adults and adolescents.
Hi! I am Jaclyn. I have an extensive history working with individuals of all ages, functioning levels, and settings. I received my bachelor’s degree from Monmouth University where I studied Psychology. I then received my Master’s degree from Chestnut Hill College where I studied Clinical and Counseling Psychology. Since my undergraduate I have worked alongside my clients to address past traumas and symptoms of unresolved experiences.
Advanced Practice Nurse.
Master' of Science in Nursing.
Specialty: Psychiatric/Mental Health.
Treatment: Children, Adolescents, and Adults.
My clinical background spans some of the most intense and intimate settings in social work — hospice care, hospitals, prisons, schools, and special education. I have extensive experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and unexpected moments. Throughout my career, I have learned that every person brings their own story, strengths, experiences, and ways of coping—and I believe those strengths are an important part of the therapeutic process. My approach is warm, compassionate, and strengths-based. I work collaboratively with clients to better understand what they are experiencing, identify what may be getting in the way, and find practical ways to move forward. I use creativity and problem-solving in my work because I don't believe therapy should be a one-size-fits-all experience. Grief is often the silent part of change in life's hardest chapters. Loss of a loved one is called bereavement, but loss of any kind is grief. Sometimes grief is woven into need for change. My approach is warm, compassionate, and strengths-based. I also work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, and women's issues. I'm licensed in both New Jersey, North Carolina, and South Carolina and bring the perspective of someone who has been present with people in their most vulnerable moments — with compassion, not clinical distance.
Hi, I’m a licensed clinician committed to creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, while also providing clinical and forensic evaluation services. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered in their growth.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in both medical and behavioral health care. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real-world experience—helping clients feel understood while working together toward meaningful change.
My professional journey has included years of practice across inpatient, community, and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and life transitions. I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their goals and develop strategies for wellness and resilience.
I believe effective care blends clinical knowledge with empathy, respect, and open communication. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique story, and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Hi! I’m Meredith, a licensed psychotherapist in New York and New Jersey. I work with adults that may be feeling overwhelmed, sad, or anxious; often in the context of relationships, work demands, family expectations, or life transitions. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and better understand what’s contributing to your experiences. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and work toward finding ways to feel more balanced, confident and in control.
Hi, I’m Chrissy, and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you may have spent a lot of time stuck in the “why,” wondering why these thoughts happen or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’ll shift the focus from the why to the how: how you can respond differently, break the cycle, and move forward.
I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises. Note: Consultation appointments are only available during the following hours M-Th at 7pm and 7:15pm. Please ensure that you only select time slots in the above window.
