Couples therapists in Newark, NJ

Hi, I’m Heather Wilson Pham, a psychotherapist and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) candidate with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, and financial stress, especially when these challenges are connected. My work focuses on empowering clients to build confidence, clarity, and independence in both their emotional and practical lives. I blend therapy with real-world strategies so clients can create meaningful, lasting change.

Please note: My practice is currently focused on individual therapy, and I am not accepting new couples at this time.

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.

As a board certified therapist, I believe that giving a priority to your mental wellbeing is the key to your happiness and stability in life. Reaching out for help can be one of hardest things that you can do, so kudos to taking the first step in your personal recovery ! I have been practicing for many years in the addictions field and can understand what a person goes through to overcome an addiction; be it alcohol or other drugs, an anger management problem, internet gaming , gambling or pornography & sex addictions, in unison with a Substance Use Disorder. Through a holistic and other evidenced based therapies, we can take the first step toward your recovery.

I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

Reconnecting with your own inner voice is one of the most meaningful things therapy

can offer. My role is to be a compassionate witness and guide as you build awareness,

develop meaningful insight, and create a life that feels authentic and aligned with your

values. Throughout our lives, our own beliefs, needs, and intuition can become

overshadowed by the expectations and experiences of others. This can leave us feeling

disconnected from ourselves and contribute to feelings of anxiety, sadness, confusion,

or isolation. I am passionate about helping individuals rediscover their strengths, build

self-trust, and develop the confidence to move forward with greater clarity and self-

compassion. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low

self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, parenting challenges, divorce, and family or

relationship concerns. I incorporate a holistic, mind-body approach into my work by

exploring the connection between emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations. I

believe our bodies often communicate experiences that words alone cannot fully

express, and developing awareness of these signals can be an important part of healing

and growth. I am proud to provide an affirming, inclusive space for individuals from diverse and

marginalized communities. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
