Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Teaneck, NJ


I’m a compassionate, collaborative therapist who is deeply committed to helping clients feel understood, supported, and empowered in their growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel difficult to break. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your lived experience.

I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can show up fully as yourself—without pressure or pretense. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you, uncover underlying patterns, and build tools that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your decisions, and more equipped to handle life’s complexities.

Rivka Nachum

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Metuchen, NJ


Welcome!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified clinical trauma professional with a deep passion for facilitating trauma healing through integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to fit your unique needs and goals.

I've provided individual and group therapy to adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including substance use treatment, community mental health, and private practice. My specialties include trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, addiction, codependency, anxiety, depression, intimacy and personality disorders.

The essence of my approach is based on the belief that early childhood experiences and relationships are often the primary influences of our unhelpful beliefs, behaviors, and coping strategies, which repeatedly pose as barriers to the freedom and personal growth we are seeking.

I'm here to support you in breaking free from survival mode and stepping into a more embodied, self-aware, and hopeful way of living - to find yourself, and the peace you have been searching for.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Tinton Falls, NJ


I have 31 years of nursing experience and specialize in the evaluation and treatment of mental health conditions, including postpartum depression. I also treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD and OCD. I started out in maternity and pediatrics as my nursing career and then went back to school for my masters, PMHNP certification and doctoral degree. I have also taught nursing students in undergraduate and graduate curriculums. I believe meaningful healing starts with being truly heard. I take a holistic, collaborative approach to care—working with you to understand the root causes of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your overall well-being, looking at medications and holistic measures such as diet and supplements in order to heal. Some of the most important nutrients essential for brain health include Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin D Vitamin A Folate and Protein. Treatment includes evidence-based medications, therapy, supplements, and nutrition management tailored to your unique needs, culture, goals, and comfort level. I believe in managing your gut health can manage your brain health and provide you to be a better healthier person inside out. Treatment plans are individualized, collaborative, and focused on restoring stability, functioning, and overall well-being.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Jersey City

Searching for therapists in Jersey City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare Jersey City therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Jersey City has therapy options across neighborhoods like Downtown, Journal Square, the Heights, and near Lincoln Park, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If commute time, transit access, or scheduling matters to you, narrow your search by location, appointment availability, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with the concerns you want to address.

Therapy in Jersey City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
