Robert Bailey

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.

Hi, my name is Geralda Gelus-Jules, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I work with adults and young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood changes, and life stressors.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and supportive. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard, respected, and never judged. Together, we will explore what you are going through, identify patterns, and build a plan that may include medication, coping skills, lifestyle changes, and referrals for therapy when needed.

As a nurse practitioner, I combine medical knowledge with a holistic view of you as a whole person—mind, body, culture, family, and environment. My goal is to help you feel more stable, hopeful, and in control of your life again.

I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support you on your mental health journey.

Happy patient looking away

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 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.
