Welcome, My name is Arislady Sanchez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am bilingual and speak Spanish and English.

Welcome! Allow me to introduce myself!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience in mental health and substance abuse, specializing in adolescents and adults who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction and life transitions.

Hi, I’m Heather Wilson Pham, a psychotherapist and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) candidate with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, and financial stress, especially when these challenges are connected.

Hi, I’m Erica! I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, and social or school-related stressors. With experience in both school-based and clinical settings, I understand how emotional challenges can impact everyday life across different environments. I am also trained as a parent coach and work collaboratively with caregivers to support progress beyond sessions. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT, strengths-based therapy, and family therapy, to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, increase emotional awareness, and feel more confident navigating daily challenges.
I’m a therapist who specializes in supporting individuals and couples through some of life’s most overwhelming and tender seasons. Whether you’re navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy or postpartum, struggling with intrusive thoughts or anxiety, feeling stuck in depression, or working to strengthen your relationship, you don’t have to do it alone.
I have a particular passion for perinatal mental health, helping clients adjust to identity changes, manage expectations, and process the emotional ups and downs that can come with trying to conceive, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I also work closely with individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety, and depression, providing tools to reduce distress and build a greater sense of control and confidence.
For couples, I offer a supportive space to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate conflict in a more productive and meaningful way.
My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.
Finding the right therapist is a personal journey, and I believe it's important that you feel understood, supported, and empowered from the very start.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Hackensack
Searching for therapists in Hackensack starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Provider bios can also help you understand each therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for life transitions.
Hackensack has local therapy options, but nearby availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across New Jersey, which may help if you need a specific therapy style, evening availability, or a therapist who is accepting new patients. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for practical fit. Look at appointment times, session format, areas of focus, and whether they offer a free phone consultation so you can learn more before starting care.
Therapy in Hackensack can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before your first appointment. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
