I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. You can expect me to bring warmth, curiosity, and clear feedback to our work together. I’m not afraid to gently challenge patterns that may be holding you back, but always from a place of empathy and respect. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and build the emotional skills needed to feel more grounded and in control of your life.
Hi, I’m Lexi, also known as That Therapy Girl. I graduated from Florida State University with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and went on to earn my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, with a focus on family systems.
When I’m not in the therapy room, I’m also a proud fur mom to two: a tabby cat and my Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.
I am here to walk with you on your journey, offering guidance that respects your individuality. If you're ready to take the next step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and let's start working together toward the future you envision. I have over fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Lehman College with Summa cum laude honors. I obtained my Master's degree from New York University and my Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University.
Deeply experienced regarding addiction and its co-occurring disorders, as well as family and relationship dynamics.
I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and Approved Clinical Supervisor who has spent more than two decades working alongside teenagers and young adults in New Jersey school settings. I've seen firsthand what it looks like when anxiety builds quietly over time — the withdrawn kid who used to be outgoing, the high achiever whose grades are slipping because the pressure got too heavy, the teen who says "I'm fine" every single day but isn't. I built this practice to offer those individuals — and the adults who were once those kids — a space where something more than coping tips can actually happen. I work virtually throughout New Jersey, which means wherever you are in the state, we can work together.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Jersey City
Finding family therapists in Jersey City starts with understanding what your family wants to address together. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for experience with your specific concern, such as family systems therapy, attachment-based therapy, parent-child work, or support for major life transitions.
In Jersey City, location and schedule can shape which therapist fits your family’s routine. Some families prefer an in-person office near home, school, work, or transit. Others use virtual sessions to make it easier for more family members to attend from different places. Session attendance may also vary by need, with the full family, caregivers, siblings, or individual members joining at different times. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio to understand their approach, who they typically work with, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to talk through session structure.
Therapy in Jersey City 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 out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists in Jersey City who are accepting new patients, see estimated costs after you enter your insurance details, and compare virtual and in-person options. You can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
