Hi! I'm Danielle. My goal is to help you get on the right medication and off medications that are not working. However, medication is only part of helping you feel your best. Therefore, I also include therapy and holistic wellness (support with nutrition, exercise, sleep, & mindfulness) as part of my integrative treatment. My goal is for you to feel safe, heard, included and well informed in your treatment decisions. To book an appointment, please visit https://healingtreehp.intakeq.com/booking
I want potential clients to know that I am a genuine person/ therapist. I will always be genuine and honest with you. I am very easy going, easy to talk with, and I believe one of my strengths is the ability to gain a client's trust- allowing the person to feel comfortable discussing any issue without fear of judgment. I have 25 years experience as a psychotherapist working with all ages from children to the elderly in correctional settings, substance abuse, and a university.
Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’ve spent over 10 years working with individuals and families of all ages, helping them tackle life’s challenges—from anxiety and depression to trauma, life transitions, and family dynamics (and everything in between). I’m all about creating a safe, supportive space where you can show up just as you are.
Hi - I am so glad you are here. I am Karr, a Licensed Professional Counselor and wounded healer with a burning passion to support the healing journey of others. I specialize working with the queer community and those who feel stuck in their survival mode after surviving traumatic experiences. I have training and experiencing navigating trauma, gender affirming care, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy.
I am an avid reader and obsessed with all things fantasy. At my core, I am a lifetime learner and dedicated challenger. I enjoy exploring the way systems operate, how they impact us today, and ways we can resist and challenge as a collective. When I am not working with clients, you can find me with my head in my kindle, spending far too many hours playing video games, or in some other hobby I am currently hyper-fixated on only to forget about a month later!
Hello, I am Felipe Lau, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Master of Arts in Counseling from Montclair State University. I am a bilingual therapist and can conduct therapy sessions in English and Spanish.
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.
I genuinely enjoy my work as a psychologist, and feel honored and privileged to be able to help people on their journey toward health, happiness and well-being. I strive to being a good listener, compassionate, respectful and nonjudgmental. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with 23 years experience in private practice during which I saw a great diversity of clientele, each owning a variety of mental health issues. I have specialties in substance use issues, mood and anxiety disorders, sport psychology, as well as grief and life transitions. I work with teens and adults of all ages, and I have a special place in my heart for folks who have served our country in the military and for senior citizens.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Counseling and have spent 20+ years in social services supporting people with autism, IDD, trauma, and mood challenges. My work is grounded, affirming, and shaped by real-world experience with diverse, often underserved communities.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Jersey City starts with identifying a provider who has specific training or experience in identity-affirming care — not just someone who lists it as a checkbox. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LCSW, LPC, psychologist, or psychiatrist) whose bio reflects familiarity with topics like coming out, gender identity, minority stress, relationship dynamics, or navigating family and cultural expectations. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and background.
Jersey City is one of the most diverse cities in New Jersey, and the LGBTQIA+ community here spans a wide range of cultural backgrounds, identities, and lived experiences. A provider who practices intersectional, culturally responsive care can make a meaningful difference. Many providers on Headway offer both virtual and in-person sessions, so you can choose what feels most comfortable — whether that's meeting face-to-face in your neighborhood or connecting from home.
Therapy in the Jersey City area can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit.
