Hello there!

My name is Timothy Dunn, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Central New Jersey. I have been working in the mental health field since 2016, beginning in inpatient treatment, followed by several years as a case manager supporting adults with severe mental illness, and currently practicing in an outpatient setting since 2022.

I serve a diverse population across age, gender, and mental health concerns, with a focus on treating anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse and neglect, and adolescents. I am looking to work with individuals who are ready to “enter the room” and “do the work,” moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m also a husband, father, and proud dog dad who hopes to help heal the world one person at a time.

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 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.
