Hi, I’m Alisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Hour She Keeps, a virtual psychotherapy practice created with women in mind.
For more than six years, I’ve worked in mental health and substance use treatment with adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, major life transitions, and the complicated seasons that don’t always look complicated from the outside. I have a particular heart for women who are used to keeping it together. The career is moving. The appointments are booked. Everyone can count on you. Maybe you’re becoming a mother, finding yourself again after motherhood, navigating a relationship, or simply realizing that the woman underneath everything she does deserves some attention too. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University with a focus in mental health and addictions. With me, you don’t have to make the story prettier before you tell it. Come as you are. We’ll figure out the rest together.
I have been Board certified Advanced Practice Nurse for 6 years. I have about 1 year experiencing specializing in generalized anxiety, major depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I have 4 years of experience as a telemedicine provider. I became a PMHNP because I take pride in helping other achieve a sense of joy in finding peace in their reality and creating healthy coping strategies.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with more than a decade of experience supporting adults, couples, and families through meaningful emotional and behavioral change. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care and strive to create a welcoming environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered in your healing process.

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Jersey City
Finding addiction therapists in Jersey City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, drug use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, or concerns that overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction-informed care, or coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of your care team.
Jersey City has a mix of local therapy options, from downtown offices near transit to virtual appointments that make it easier to find a therapist beyond your closest neighborhood. For addiction care, fit also includes how a therapist describes their approach. Many people look for a therapist who has experience with nonjudgmental support, harm reduction frameworks, relapse prevention, or substance use counseling. Read therapist profiles before booking to understand their specialties, appointment availability, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Jersey City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare Jersey City therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
