Seeking therapy in Forked River? Headway's network includes providers across the area ready to support your mental health journey. With free intake consultations and availability within two weeks, you can start your path to wellness without the stress of navigating costs alone.
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.
Taking your first step toward healing is often the most challenging and here you are! I have over 25 years of experience providing therapeutic services to individuals of all ages. I earned a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College in Springfield, MA in 2004 and I became licensed in the state of New Jersey in 2008 as a Licensed Professional Counselor. My current focus is to provide therapy to individuals ages 5 to 65+ and over.
Susan Goodwin is a highly qualified and experienced therapist holding licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). With a passion for helping individuals overcome mental health and substance use challenges, Susan brings a wealth of expertise to her practice.
Come and start your journey towards a better life. I will help you develop resilience and strengthen your inner core. I will work with you to develop problem solving skills, and learn effective communication skills. I am an empathetic listener with over 10 years of experience in this field.
Akosua C. Ababio MSN, APRN,PMHNP-BC.FNP-C is a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. She trained at Northern Kentucky University in both medication management and psychotherapy. She is licensed to treat patients of all ages, from children and adolescents to adults and seniors.
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!

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.
