Julia Hayward

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Newark

Finding ADHD therapists in Newark starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy can help with executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, and support for concerns like focus, organization, distractibility, and impulsivity. Medication management is separate and may involve a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some use both. If you’re searching for adult ADHD counseling near me, ADHD counseling near me, or care for a child or teen, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and experience match your needs.

Newark offers a range of mental health care options, and the right match may depend on schedule, location, and care format. You may prefer an office near downtown Newark, the Ironbound, University Heights, or another nearby area, or you may find that virtual appointments give you more options across New Jersey. ADHD can also appear alongside anxiety, depression, work stress, school concerns, or relationship challenges, so it helps to choose a therapist with experience in ADHD and related concerns. Before booking, read therapist bios for details about approach, appointment availability, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find ADHD therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can compare therapists, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
