Sara Wickizer

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I am a highly seasoned clinician with years of experience in both mental health care and substance use services. My professional journey began in the substance use field, sand a deep understanding of the co-occurring mental health challenges many individuals face.

My clinical experience includes providing outpatient individual therapy and supporting individuals experiencing acute psychosis in inpatient psychiatric settings. After gaining many years of clinical experience, I expanded into leadership roles, providing clinical supervision and program oversight while managing co-occurring programs across New Jersey. I am also passionate about building the next generation of clinicians and serve part-time as an adjunct professor. I earned my degrees from Rutgers University School of Social Work and Honors College, where I was a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society and graduated summa cum laude.

I bring a diverse background and extensive knowledge to my clinical practice, having worked across a wide range of mental health and substance use settings. Over the years, I have gained experience with many different diagnoses, from anxiety and depression to trauma and co-occurring disorders. My expertise spans multiple evidence-based approaches, including ACT, CBT, DBT, SFT, trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and psychoanalytic techniques. This breadth allows me to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, ensuring a personalized, effective, and compassionate approach to care.

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, NJ

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.
