Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Newark, NJ

I work with children, teens, and young adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure of themselves. I know it can be hard to open up, especially if you’re used to holding things in. I’ve seen how powerful it is when people feel truly heard and supported.

I currently support middle and high school students in a therapeutic school setting and continue to provide in home therapy and family-based therapy; as well as facilitate process groups for adolescents and parent support groups.

I focus on challenges on anxiety, mood changes, trauma, and self-esteem challenges- areas that can deeply impact how someone sees themselves and moves through the world.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and value creating a culturally responsive and welcoming space. Therapy with me is collaborative — we move at your pace, but we also work toward real growth. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. We’ll work through it together.

My name is Khadija Fofana, and I am from West Africa. I have been in the mental health field for over 6 years and I have worked as psychiatric NP for 2+ years. I know I may not heal/solve all of your difficulties but it will be my pleasure to help you regain your stabilization. Remember mental health treatment is a process and it is one that we can achieve together. You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy.

I earned my Masters in Social Work at Temple University in Philadelphia. I am licensed in NJ and CA.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a graduate of Rutgers University (MSW). With 18 years of experience as a therapist, my belief is that we are born with the ability to self-generate the changes we might be seeking at any point in one's life-span.
