Sarah Silverman

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I believe therapy should be a safe space for you to work towards your goals, without any judgment. Rather than feeling alone, a therapist should assist you on your journey to build the life you have envisioned, while understanding that you are the expert in your own life. I will be that therapist for you. I am passionate about assisting others to understand how their past impacts their current, in order to move forward to their future. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, endure the daily challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder, and/or deal with LGBTQ+ issues.

Linda Slim

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Reconnecting with your own inner voice is one of the most meaningful things therapy

can offer. My role is to be a compassionate witness and guide as you build awareness,

develop meaningful insight, and create a life that feels authentic and aligned with your

values. Throughout our lives, our own beliefs, needs, and intuition can become

overshadowed by the expectations and experiences of others. This can leave us feeling

disconnected from ourselves and contribute to feelings of anxiety, sadness, confusion,

or isolation. I am passionate about helping individuals rediscover their strengths, build

self-trust, and develop the confidence to move forward with greater clarity and self-

compassion. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low

self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, parenting challenges, divorce, and family or

relationship concerns. I incorporate a holistic, mind-body approach into my work by

exploring the connection between emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations. I

believe our bodies often communicate experiences that words alone cannot fully

express, and developing awareness of these signals can be an important part of healing

and growth. I am proud to provide an affirming, inclusive space for individuals from diverse and

marginalized communities. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

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 Forked River

Searching for therapists in Forked River starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or support for specific life stages. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from working together.

In a smaller community like Forked River, the number of nearby therapists may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still allowing you to work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and practical fit.

Therapy in Forked River can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
