Jeanine Stewart

Jeanine Stewart

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I am curious and validating, providing a nurturing environment to talk openly and honestly about your struggles, strengths, weaknesses, needs, likes, and dislikes. I love helping people explore their unique and particular powers as well as how these powers impact their world and their relationships. As a passionate supporter of those who have been through unjust or otherwise traumatic experiences--including those experiencing discrimination based upon race or gender identity or sexual orientation--I am particularly interested in helping people gain skills for dealing with, and making sense of, the remnants of their pasts.

Having completed Bessel Van der Kolk's Trauma Research Foundation's Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies in early 2025, I have a strong foundational understanding of the most cutting edge approaches to treating trauma. I am also comfortable using a combination of approaches, including Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I received an MSW from the University of Pennsylvania, a psychodynamically focused program, after which I completed Bryn Mawr's certificate program in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have also completed 1 year of Gestalt Therapy training and the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Immersion Program.

As an LCSW, my training emphasized the role of social environment--from the family to society at large--in how we construct our narratives, enabling me to help you make sense of what in your life is yours to own and what is a product of your environment.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Jersey City

Finding OCD therapists in Jersey City starts with looking for specific training, not just a general therapy match. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, rituals, avoidance, and reassurance-seeking. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare Jersey City therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or related approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Jersey City offers access to many therapists, but the right fit still depends on practical details. If you want in-person therapy in Jersey City, consider office location, commute time, transit access, and appointment availability. Virtual therapy can also expand your options, especially if you want to work with an OCD therapist in New Jersey who has specific ERP training. Read therapist profiles closely to see whether they list OCD as an area of familiarity or describe direct experience with ERP, since that distinction can help you choose someone whose training matches your needs.

Therapy in Jersey City, NJ can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, and many take insurance and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can compare bios, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
