Hi, I’m Jessica! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports individuals, children, and families through life’s ups and downs. I’m fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and passionate about making therapy feel comfortable and accessible for everyone. My goal is to create a warm, understanding space where you feel heard and supported as you work toward healing and growth.

Hello! I have Master's Degree in Counseling from Caldwell College (now Caldwell University) and have been in the field for over 14 years. I have a strong background in support clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mild to moderate OCD, burnout, living with chronic illness, loss, adult children of narcissistic parents, being a caregiver to aging parents and to family members with intellectual disabilities,

I've always loved helping people live more fulfilling and joyful lives. As humans, we do not exist in a vacuum, so many things take a toll on our daily lives and through our work together, we can figure out what works and what doesn't. I am an LCSW and have been specializing in OCD and Trauma for over three years.

I'm Jessica Saraiva, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults, children, adolescents, and families. I currently serve as a school social worker and maintain a clinical practice providing individual and family counseling.

I hold my LCSW, NJ School Social Worker Certification, and a Certificate in Promoting Child & Adolescent Well-Being from Rutgers University, where I earned my Master of Social Work with a 4.0 GPA.

My experience includes supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges, as well as helping children and adolescents with behavioral difficulties, social-emotional struggles, and school-related issues. I'm also bilingual in Portuguese, allowing me to serve clients in their preferred language.

Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your family, I'm here to help.

Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain? Life's challenges and transitions can leave us feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of the next step. You don't have to face them alone.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

Together, we'll identify patterns that may be holding you back, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical coping strategies that support lasting growth. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, strengthen confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Healing isn't about becoming someone different—it's about reconnecting with the person you are and creating a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. I would be honored to support you on that journey.

I work with girls and women who look like they are holding it together and are not. High-functioning anxiety, panic, OCD, and depression — it can show up as excessive reassurance seeking, checking behaviors, Googling worst-case scenarios, or intrusive thoughts that you feel too scared or ashamed to discuss with anyone. I work with adolescents and adults via secure video in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. You do not need to leave home or find childcare to start. If you are pregnant, postpartum, or a girl/young woman whose worry has taken over, this practice was built for that.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 22 years’ experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Columbia University with a MSW & have a BS in Applied Sociology/Social Work from Seattle University. I possess extensive experience working with individuals & couples living with PTSD, Trauma related issues, Grief, Depression, Substance Use, Anxiety, Work Related Issues, & Marital/Relational issues. I utilize a wide range of integrative therapeutic approaches to include solution-focused, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mind-body medicine techniques to meet the unique needs of clients. I am passionate about helping clients through their journey of building the life they desire.
