Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 5.4 mi away • West Orange, NJ


I work with adults ages 18–50 navigating complex trauma (CPTSD), anxiety and stress, substance use, and mood disorders. Whether you are carrying the weight of past traumatic experiences, adjusting to a major life transition, struggling with relationships or work, or even simply feeling "stuck," it can be overwhelming. However, if you're reading this, it means you haven't given up hope and you don't have to face it alone. In our work together, you will find a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where you feel safe to speak openly and try new things, with encouragement, support, and maybe even a laugh or two along the way.

Carey Kloske

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Woodbridge Township, NJ


My path to psychotherapy is anything but conventional. I began my career as a scientist and then a high school science teacher, where a deep curiosity about the world took root. But it was the human connection, the conversations, the stories, that truly lit me up. That led me to Columbia University, where I earned my Master's in Social Work and gained invaluable clinical experience at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. After graduation, I worked in hospice care, walking alongside families through some of life's most profound and challenging moments, an experience that gave me a deep respect for human resilience and the power of being truly heard. After welcoming my three children, I took everything I had learned and channelled it into opening my own private practice. Today, that is where my heart lives. I am endlessly inspired by the people I get to meet, the life stories they share, and the privilege of watching them grow. Whatever has brought you here, I would love to hear your story too.

Julia Hayward

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • New Providence, NJ


Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.

I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.
