Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Jersey City, NJ

People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Others are navigating life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, changing careers, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Sometimes there isn’t a single crisis. Instead, there is a growing sense that life feels harder than it should, or that old ways of coping are no longer working.

I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are trying to manage the demands of everyday life while carrying a great deal beneath the surface. Many are bright, capable, and caring people who find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, distracted, stuck in patterns of worry, or struggling to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to better understand what is keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Her broad professional experiences strengthen her clinical perspective and decision making. Together, your mental health becomes the priority.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping adults and adolescents manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, life transitions, and substance-related concerns.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and goal-focused. I use evidence-based strategies, including CBT and exposure-based work, to help clients better understand their patterns, build coping skills, and make meaningful changes in daily life.

I believe therapy does not have to be reserved only for moments of crisis. It can be helpful for anyone who wants to manage stress more effectively, improve relationships, strengthen emotional control, or feel more confident in how they handle life’s demands.

I bring over 25 years of clinical and leadership experience to my work and am the founder of The Vine Health Services. I’m a doctoral-prepared, dual-certified Nurse Practitioner in both Family and Psychiatric care, which allows me to look at your health from every angle — mind, body, and spirit.

My approach blends medical expertise with empathy, offering integrative, functional, and faith-informed care (based on patient's preference) that supports the whole person. I believe that healing happens through understanding and partnership, and I’m here to walk alongside you on that journey toward mental and emotional well-being

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PsA, I approach my practice with a person-centered and holistic perspective, guiding clients to identify and pursue solutions in every facet of their lives.

My name is Patrick. I'm an LCSW practicing in New Jersey that specializes in helping teens and young adults deal with OCD, social and general anxiety, future uncertainty, and low self-esteem. Whether anxiety is a life long challenge, or a relatively new struggle following a big life change like starting college or beginning a new job, I help my clients develop the tools and insights needed to overcome anxiety, improve their mood, and grow their confidence. I emphasize creating a warm, validating, and safe therapy experience for my clients. I offer virtual and am currently on a wait list for in person sessions.

Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.

I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Camellia Counseling, I am a compassionate therapist with a drive to help my clients grow into their truest selves. I specialize in treating adolescents and young adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, and body image issues. I also treat issues related to identity development, relationship distress, and major life transitions. I consider it an honor to get to know you as a unique individual and help you meet your mental health goals!

I am compassionate, warm, patient and easy to talk to. I work with empathy and listen actively to your concerns. Blood works are drawn on site at the office.

Whether you are in a place of uncertainty and desperation or hoping to reach your utmost potential, I congratulate you for making this step in taking control of your life and facing your challenges. Every individual, whether you are a parent, student, professional, athlete or performer, endures pain or confusion at some point in life. As a professional support to you, I feel privileged to assist you, without judgement, in reclaiming a life of peace and control that you so rightly deserve.

My specialty is "trauma", which is a broad term. Any experience that leaves you feeling unsafe, confused, insecure or unloved can be traumatic. I work with sexual abuse, violent and workplace trauma, natural disasters, infidelity and all the anxieties that may come with trying to cope with these issues.

I use an eclectic approach because no one modality fits every person and every situation. I use psychotherapy techniques, cognitive behavior therapy, hypnosis and EMDR. I also continually attend conferences to stay current with the best and newest forms of treatments.
