Rivka Nachum

Rivka Nachum

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Metuchen, NJ


Welcome!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified clinical trauma professional with a deep passion for facilitating trauma healing through integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to fit your unique needs and goals.

I've provided individual and group therapy to adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including substance use treatment and community mental health. My specialties include trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, addiction, anxiety, depression, intimacy and personality disorders.

The essence of my approach is based on the belief that early childhood experiences and relationships are often the primary influences of our unhelpful beliefs, behaviors, and coping strategies, which repeatedly pose as barriers to the freedom and personal growth we are seeking.

I'm here to support you in breaking free from survival mode and stepping into a more embodied, self-aware, and hopeful way of living - to find yourself, and the peace you have been searching for.

Many people come to psychiatry after feeling frustrated by treatments that haven't worked or appointments that felt rushed. I became a psychiatric provider because I enjoy helping people understand their symptoms and find treatment approaches that genuinely fit their needs. Before becoming a PMHNP, I received a B.S. in Clinical Psychology from Tufts University and worked in psychiatric research focused on bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression. Today, I provide collaborative, individualized care to patients experiencing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and more.

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.
