Great to Meet You

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, supported, and empowered to grow.

I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic illness, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, and LGBTQIA+ experiences. I also support clients who are coping with family conflict, workplace stress, attachment concerns, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion, honesty, and accountability. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, strengthen healthy boundaries, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're navigating a major life transition, living with chronic illness, healing from past experiences, or looking to strengthen your relationships, you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to help you leave each session feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to create. =)

Julia Hayward

Julia Hayward

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 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.

Therese Zimmer-Farid

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Madison, NJ


Whether you are in a place of uncertainty and desperation or hoping to reach your utmost potential, I congratulate you for making this step in taking control of your life and facing your challenges. Every individual, whether you are a parent, student, professional, athlete or performer, endures pain or confusion at some point in life. As a professional support to you, I feel privileged to assist you, without judgement, in reclaiming a life of peace and control that you so rightly deserve.


My specialty is "trauma", which is a broad term. Any experience that leaves you feeling unsafe, confused, insecure or unloved can be traumatic. I work with sexual abuse, violent and workplace trauma, natural disasters, infidelity and all the anxieties that may come with trying to cope with these issues.


I use an eclectic approach because no one modality fits every person and every situation. I use psychotherapy techniques, cognitive behavior therapy, hypnosis and EMDR. I also continually attend conferences to stay current with the best and newest forms of treatments.

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 an Anxiety Therapist in Elizabeth

Searching for therapists in Elizabeth starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may list specialties such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for experience that matches your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.

Elizabeth is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. You may want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session. Reading bios closely can help you understand communication style, areas of focus, and whether the therapist’s availability fits your schedule.

Therapy in Elizabeth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that information clear before you book. You can search for Elizabeth therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, enter your insurance details to see estimated costs, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
