Adulthood can be an exciting time of growth and independence, but it can also come with overwhelming pressure, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, and uncertainty about the future. I work with teens and young adults who may be struggling to manage academic demands, navigate friendships and relationships, build confidence, or adjust to the many transitions that come with this stage of life. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, develop practical coping skills, and feel more confident navigating life on your own terms.

While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

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.
