Hi! I’m Meredith, a licensed psychotherapist in New York and New Jersey. I work with adults that may feel overwhelmed, sad, or anxious; often in the context of relationships, work demands, family expectations, or life transitions. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain perspective, and better understand what’s contributing to your experiences. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and work toward finding ways to feel more balanced, confident and in control.
Hi, my name is Marissa and I am a licensed professional counselor in private practice who also worked as a middle school counselor for about 15 years.

So whether you are feeling overwhelmed with life and its constant changes, looking to unpack past traumas, or move forward from a relationship and all that in between; I will provide an empathetic and nonjudgmental space to begin your journey into feeling like you can breathe a little easier again.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Jersey City

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.
