Struggling to get your needs met, set boundaries, or feel safe and connected in a relationship? Whether dealing with a narcissist, a partner, or your own patterns around addiction, I can help. I have 18+ years of experience and use DBT and CBT to help clients build exactly these skills.

My background includes psychiatric hospitals and addiction treatment centers, so I've worked with the most complex presentations out there. But my favorite work is what comes next: helping people rebuild a life that actually excites them and feels fulfilling.

I specialize in improving relationship patterns, narcissistic abuse recovery, addiction, trauma, and anxiety & depression. LGBTQIA+ affirming. New clients seen within the same week.

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.
