Dating, maintaining healthy relationships, and keeping it spicy in the bedroom can be challenging and feel overwhelming. Whether you are single or in a relationship, couple’s therapy can help.


My work with Couples focuses on issues of communication, intimacy, infidelity, trust and sexual difficulties. If you are single, and are looking to work through past or prospective relationships, we can work on helping identify the factors getting in the way of finding, or maintaining healthy relationships.


Experiencing a lack of sexual fulfillment during any stage your life can feel isolating, challenging and overwhelming. Whether you are single, dating, in an open relationship, or in a committed relationship. When “sex isn’t working”, it feels uncomfortable and frustrating, and can make you feel like there is something wrong with you.


We can work together in Sex Therapy, as an Individual or as a Couple to help you achieve the positive sex goals you want and deserve. I'm an English/Spanish speaking Psychotherapist. I specialize in Individuals, Couples and Sex Therapy. I would like to help you feel better and have success in all areas of your life. Give me a call for a free consultation.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in Maplewood, NJ and the founder of canyons therapy. I can see clients who live in New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. I am a recovering perfectionist, anxious mom, and lover of a slow-paced life. In session, you will find me casually dressed, warm beverage in-hand, and ready to hold space for your most imperfect self. Outside of session, I’m wrangling my young kids and doing my best to embrace our chaos. I enjoy being in nature, watching the latest documentary, and curating mood-setting playlists.

My love for Social Work comes from personal life experiences and wanting to help people see the beauty in life again.

I attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and then I graduated from Monmouth University with my Masters in Social Work. I have been in the field for 5 years and continue to expand my knowledge. I have experience with both mental health and addiction, spending the first part of my career in in-patient. I currently work full time for an Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic helping a very focused and specific population.

Everyone needs help sometimes, and I am here to listen.

I am passionate and empathetic and I believe in always giving that to my clients.

Dr. Geralda Gelus-Jules

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • East Orange, NJ


Hi, my name is Geralda Gelus-Jules, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I work with adults and young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood changes, and life stressors.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and supportive. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard, respected, and never judged. Together, we will explore what you are going through, identify patterns, and build a plan that may include medication, coping skills, lifestyle changes, and referrals for therapy when needed.

As a nurse practitioner, I combine medical knowledge with a holistic view of you as a whole person—mind, body, culture, family, and environment. My goal is to help you feel more stable, hopeful, and in control of your life again.

I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support you on your mental health journey.

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.
