I bring over 25 years of clinical and leadership experience to my work and am the founder of The Vine Health Services. I’m a doctoral-prepared, dual-certified Nurse Practitioner in both Family and Psychiatric care, which allows me to look at your health from every angle — mind, body, and spirit.

I believe that healing happens through understanding and partnership, and I’m here to walk alongside you on that journey toward mental and emotional well-being
It's very nice to meet you. I am a psychologist with around twenty years of experience working in schools, hospitals, and community mental health.
Those who seek my support are often grappling with challenging relationships, feeling stuck in unconscious patterns, or navigating the complexities of loss, pain, or shame.
My work is grounded in psychoanalysis, existential therapy, IFS, and liberation psychology.
I also specialize in neurodevelopmental assessment and have expertise in autism testing.
My name is Patrick. I'm an LCSW practicing in New Jersey that specializes in helping teens and young adults deal with OCD, social and general anxiety, future uncertainty, and low self-esteem. Whether anxiety is a life long challenge, or a relatively new struggle following a big life change like starting college or beginning a new job, I help my clients develop the tools and insights needed to overcome anxiety, improve their mood, and grow their confidence. I emphasize creating a warm, validating, and safe therapy experience for my clients. I offer virtual and am currently on a wait list for in person sessions.
am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to children, adolescents, and adults. I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, substance use disorders, and other mental health concerns. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive, skills-based psychotherapy, with treatment tailored to each patient's age, circumstances, symptoms, and goals.
My clinical background includes extensive work in outpatient psychiatry, behavioral health systems, detoxification and dual-diagnosis programs, and community-based mental health organizations. This experience has allowed me to work with individuals across the lifespan and with a wide range of needs, from patients seeking help with anxiety, depression, or ADHD to those managing trauma, substance use, or more complex mental health conditions. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree with advanced training in psychiatric mental health. In addition to my direct clinical work, I have served as Chief Nurse Executive for a large behavioral health organization, where I oversaw integrated mental health, addiction treatment, and community-care programs. Working at both the patient and organizational levels has given me a broad perspective on mental health care and reinforced the importance of looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the medical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that can affect a person's well-being.

Hello and welcome! I have been assisting clients with navigating some of the most difficult stages of life. I have provided services with clients between the ages of 4 and 96. I specialize in aging, grief/loss and life transitions.
I am an LCSW with many years experience working with trauma survivors and mothers. I teach DBT skills to help you manage stress and relationships and build a life worth living. Then I utilize IFS and EMDR to help you process past trauma so you can feel even better.
Welcome! I'm glad you're taking the first step towards entering therapy. A little about myself... I take a humanistic, compassionate and person centered approach, which focuses on authenticity and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. This means that I focus on getting to know you, your strengths, and interests, because it's important to establish a connection. As your treatment I want to meet you where you are, while also challenging you to explore alternative perspectives and ideas.
Welcome, I believe mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. I’ve been practicing for 20 years, with my main focus of practice being anxiety and life transitions.

Frequently asked questions


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 Matawan
Searching for therapists in Matawan starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and can help you understand what sessions may feel like.
Matawan is a smaller local market, so nearby in-person options may vary across Matawan, Aberdeen, Keyport, Old Bridge, and the broader Monmouth County area. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping care tied to a therapist licensed in New Jersey. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, has appointment times that fit your schedule, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, experience, and session structure.
Therapy in Matawan 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 find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists in Matawan, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
