I believe healing begins in a space where you feel truly heard. I offer a warm, supportive environment where you can explore your inner thoughts and emotions completely free of judgment. Maybe your mind won’t slow down. Maybe you’ve lost motivation, feel disconnected from people you love, or wonder if life will ever feel easier again. Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to face it alone.

My experience includes working in inpatient behavioral health, where I’ve helped individuals navigate some of life’s most difficult emotional crises. Whether you’re facing a recent challenge or have been struggling for years, my goal is to help you feel supported while equipping you with practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard and supported, but also where meaningful change can happen. My style is warm, collaborative, and practical, and I take an active role in our work together. I’ll meet you where you are while also helping you recognize patterns, challenge what may be keeping you stuck, and find realistic ways to move forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting—we’ll work together to understand what you need and what you want to change.

Michele Marciano

Michele Marciano

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I've spent ten years in mental health — nine of them in the intersection of addiction and trauma — and what I've learned is that clinical tools only work when they're explained in ways people can actually use outside the therapy room.

My approach is energetic and practical: I break things down in plain language, connect them to real-life situations, and help clients build skills they can apply immediately. I work with adults on anxiety, PTSD, trauma, substance use, eating disorders, OCD, BPD, infertility, family stress, and relationship challenges.

As a Native American therapist, I bring cultural awareness and lived understanding to my work — especially for clients navigating identity, systemic barriers, and experiences that don't always fit standard clinical frameworks.

Virtual • New Jersey


Hello there!

My name is Timothy Dunn, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Central New Jersey. I have been working in the mental health field since 2016, beginning in inpatient treatment, followed by several years as a case manager supporting adults with severe mental illness, and currently practicing in an outpatient setting since 2022.

I serve a diverse population across age, gender, and mental health concerns, with a focus on treating anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse and neglect, and adolescents. I am looking to work with individuals who are ready to “enter the room” and “do the work,” moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m also a husband, father, and proud dog dad who hopes to help heal the world one person at a time.

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.
