I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 22 years’ experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Columbia University with a MSW & have a BS in Applied Sociology/Social Work from Seattle University. I possess extensive experience working with individuals & couples living with PTSD, Trauma related issues, Grief, Depression, Substance Use, Anxiety, Work Related Issues, & Marital/Relational issues. I utilize a wide range of integrative therapeutic approaches to include solution-focused, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mind-body medicine techniques to meet the unique needs of clients. I am passionate about helping clients through their journey of building the life they desire.
I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.
Welcome. I know reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood. My goal is to provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences at your own pace.
I work with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Many of my clients are people who have spent years caring for others while neglecting their own needs and are now ready to begin prioritizing their healing and personal growth.
My approach is integrative and personalized because I believe every person’s story and healing journey is unique. I incorporate supportive therapy, trauma-focused care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.
Together, we will work to identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, process painful experiences with care and intention, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your strengths and sense of self. I believe healing happens not only through insight, but also through feeling empowered, supported, and genuinely accepted.
Whether you are navigating a difficult season of life or seeking deeper self-understanding and growth, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and balance.
My love for Social Work comes from personal life experiences and wanting to help people see the beauty in life again.
I attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and then I graduated from Monmouth University with my Masters in Social Work. I have been in the field for 5 years and continue to expand my knowledge. I have experience with both mental health and addiction, spending the first part of my career in in-patient. I currently work full time for an Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic helping a very focused and specific population.
Everyone needs help sometimes, and I am here to listen.
I am passionate and empathetic and I believe in always giving that to my clients.
I have a vast background in social work as an NYU graduate. Beginning with early intervention and ABA therapy all throughout Manhattan and growing into the Jewish Board of Child and Family Therapy learning CBT, family, group and couples therapy. Practicing for over 20 years with CBT and IFS modalities as I find them to be the most effective, compassionate and straightforward approach to getting to know the self with a kind lens. Our society wants us to be in resistance to ourselves and we get to take a look at how that impacts us together. There is nothing wrong with your feelings, it is how they were treated that was wrong.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in genuine connection—I believe real change happens when you feel truly seen and understood. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, or major life transitions, we’ll work together to help you build the tools and confidence to move forward.
I have a Master's Degree in Social Work and over 30 years of experience in Mental Health Treatment. I work with adults who are struggling with a variety of issues including stress, self esteem, family conflicts and life changes such as divorce or loss or change in jobs. I specialize in working with elderly around issues of health, retirement and loss.
My Name is Perla. I have been a therapist for the past 10 years. I am licensed and board-certified by the National Board of Counselors. My approach to therapy is collaborative, warm, and solution-focused.
Hi, I'm Megan, a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings years of clinical and lived experience to a down-to-earth, real approach to therapy. I work with high-achieving individuals who feel deeply, think intensely, and often carry their struggles quietly — including those navigating OCD, eating disorders, anxiety and perfectionism, trauma, and life transitions. I'm so glad you're here. Let's figure out, together, what's underneath the struggle.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in Maplewood, NJ and the founder of canyons therapy. I can see clients who live in New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. I am a recovering perfectionist, anxious mom, and lover of a slow-paced life. In session, you will find me casually dressed, warm beverage in-hand, and ready to hold space for your most imperfect self. Outside of session, I’m wrangling my young kids and doing my best to embrace our chaos. I enjoy being in nature, watching the latest documentary, and curating mood-setting playlists.

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 Fair Lawn
Finding therapists in Fair Lawn starts with knowing what kind of support and care may fit your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Fair Lawn is a smaller city, so local in-person openings may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can widen your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates their approach.
Therapy in Fair Lawn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and you can confirm insurance coverage for your specific plan on Headway. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
