Paulina Levinzon is a mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples ages 11 and up. With experience working in private practice, group therapy programs, and in hospital settings Paulina had extensive experience in helping people to achieve their goals.
I previously practiced law for 17 years prior to going back to school to become a therapist after witnessing the 9/11 attacks from my office window. Most recently, I worked in a group psychotherapy practice prior to starting my own private practice where I provided therapy to adolescents (and their families) and adults who struggled with, among other things, depression and anxiety, using a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches in order to tailor treatment to fit each client’s needs.
My name is Jasmine Cepeda, LCSW. With over 13 years of clinical experience, my therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in helping folks process difficult transitions and painful emotions. Whether you're carrying unresolved wounds from the past, feeling distressed by your current relationships, or experiencing social or existential dread, I’m here to help you make sense of your experience.
My therapeutic practice focuses on helping people understand and work with emotional and relational patterns that continue to show up in present life. In therapy, we work with what is happening in the present moment, emotionally, physically, relationally, and environmentally, so these patterns can begin to shift into a more grounded & integrated sense of self.
I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.
Do you understand your experiences intellectually, but still find yourself reacting in ways you don’t understand? You may know where your patterns come from, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns.
I work with adults who are ready to understand not only why they feel the way they do, but also to create meaningful change in how they experience themselves, their relationships, and their lives.
My work is especially focused on trauma, attachment wounds, narcissistic and emotional abuse, sexual trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, self-worth, and major life transitions. I bring a warm, compassionate, and deeply individualized approach to therapy. I believe you should feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences without feeling judged, rushed, or pressured to “just move on.”
Together, we look at the connection between your experiences, emotions, thoughts, body, and relationships. My goal is not simply to help you cope with symptoms, but to help you develop greater self-understanding, self-trust, emotional freedom, and a stronger sense of who you are.
I am a dual Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 16 years of healthcare experience and 10 years in advanced practice. My background in critical care, hospital medicine, primary care, and behavioral health allows me to provide comprehensive, whole-person care that addresses both mental and physical well-being.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, stress, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Art Therapist who works with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other challenges. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and genuine. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients feels comfortable being themselves while developing greater insight, confidence, and practical tools for navigating life's challenges.
For the past seven years, I've worked with adolescents and families in New Jersey's public school system, supporting clients through anxiety, stress, family conflict, and life transitions. Today, I seek to work with Black males and those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or stressed about the conditions of the state both past and present and uncertain about what comes next. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or major life changes, my goal is to aid you with reconnecting with the strengths, values, and resilience that already exist within you.

Believes patience and understanding is key to developing a positive therapeutic relationship.
I have worked on my own growth and awareness since I was 19 yrs old. Therapy helped change my life and old patterns that I developed in my early years. I have made tremendous changes in who I am and how I cope. I would like to help you do that too.

Frequently asked questions


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 Freehold
Searching for therapists in Freehold starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about who they typically work with. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Freehold is a smaller market, so the right therapist may be nearby, or may offer virtual appointments from elsewhere in New Jersey. In-person therapy may work well if you prefer a local office setting, while virtual sessions can add more options when your schedule, commute, or local availability limits your search. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and session structure.
Therapy in Freehold can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
