Living with ADHD, anxiety, or depression is exhausting — especially when you're trying to hold everything together at the same time. You deserve a provider who meets you where you are and builds a plan that actually moves you forward.I'm Zinny Ezete, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with licenses in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. I specialize in medication management and psychiatric care for teenagers and adults dealing with ADHD, anxiety disorders, and depression. My approach is direct, evidence-based, and built around your real life — not a generic protocol.My clinical background includes forensic psychiatry, inpatient psychiatric care, and advanced practice across major New York City hospital systems. I've worked with patients at every level of complexity, which means I bring both depth and flexibility to your care.I'm a good fit for you if:

— You've been struggling with ADHD that affects your focus, relationships, or career

— Anxiety is running your decisions or keeping you up at night

— Depression has been dulling your life and you're ready for something to actually change

— You want a provider who is thorough, honest, and treats you like an intelligent adultI offer telehealth appointments in NY, NJ, and CT and am currently accepting new patients.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

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, NJ

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.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
