Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I believe feelings aren't obstacles to manage they're signals worth understanding. For over five years, I've worked alongside people who are quietly exhausted: carrying anxiety, sitting with grief, untangling patterns in their relationships, or navigating a life that no longer fits who they're becoming. My clients often describe our sessions as the first place they've felt truly heard without needing to perform strength or explain away their emotions. I work with individuals and couples across New York, New Jersey, and Florida via telehealth, with evening, morning, and weekend availability, so quality care doesn't have to be another thing to schedule around. I accept Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Anthem, Empire, and other major plans. You don't have to have everything figured out before reaching out we can start exactly where you are.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Are you struggling with irritability, a depressed mood, overwhelming anxiety, or concerns about how others perceive you? Do you wish you could move through life without constantly replaying worried thoughts in your mind? Perhaps you experience sadness, guilt, or shame, or find yourself becoming impatient with your loved ones or the world around you. Carl Jung once said, “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” Are you ready to explore new ways of living and develop a deeper understanding of yourself?

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide counseling services for individuals, families, and couples. I am trilingual and offer therapy in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. As a Christian counselor, I also work with individuals who wish to integrate their faith into the therapeutic process. In addition, as a certified SYMBIS premarital assessment facilitator, I help couples build strong, healthy relationships and prepare for marriage.

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 Lakewood

Searching for therapists in Lakewood starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Lakewood therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties match your needs. Their bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.

Lakewood is a smaller market, so nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in New Jersey. When you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Lakewood can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can verify your benefits and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost for care in Lakewood before you book. You can browse therapists in Lakewood, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
