Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Moorestown, NJ


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor based in New Jersey, with experience beginning in 2021. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University where I built a strong foundation in working with adults navigating complex emotional and behavioral health challenges. Over the years, I've worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, coping with aging, life transitions, bipolar disorder, substance use, trauma, LGBTQIA+ identity, and the weight that comes from carrying too much for too long. I work individually with adults and seniors, and I understand what it feels like to want change but not quite know where to start. My goal is to help you figure that out, one step at a time.

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.

Breaking Generational Cycles! Casey loves their family though some behaviors are toxic. They want to make sure the cycle stops with them. They aren't sure how. That's where therapy comes in. In therapy they have a private space that’s entirely theirs. They have someone who listens and doesn't interrupt or talk only about themselves. They don’t have to filter what they say, manage anyone else’s feelings, or worry about being “too much,” “too sensitive,” or “dramatic.” Together, we focus on what’s underneath the anxiety and repeating patterns, helping Casey understand themselves and approach relationships with greater clarity and intention. This ultimately stops the generational, toxic cycle. Hi, I'm Alicia. If this sounds like something you'd like to work on, let's talk about it. I've been in the field for over 15 years and have helped numerous clients with breaking cycles of all kinds. I especially enjoy working with young adults.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Jersey City

Finding postpartum therapists in Jersey City starts with looking for someone whose training fits your needs after pregnancy or birth. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare Jersey City therapists, look for specialties in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support. Some therapists may also list a perinatal mental health certification, such as PMH-C, which can signal added training in care before and after birth.

In Jersey City, location and scheduling can shape which therapist is a practical match. An office near your home, workplace, PATH station, or bus route may help if you prefer in-person therapy in Jersey City, NJ. Virtual appointments can also expand access to a postpartum specialist, especially when your schedule shifts, infant care changes, or you are managing physical recovery. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session format, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Postpartum therapy in Jersey City can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists in Jersey City who are accepting new patients, compare detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can filter by insurance, appointment type, specialty, and availability, making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and has time to meet.

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