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.

My name is Jamie, and I have been working in the social work field for over 12 years.

Come and start your journey towards a better life. I will help you develop resilience and strengthen your inner core. I will work with you to develop problem solving skills, and learn effective communication skills. I am an empathetic listener with over 10 years of experience in this field.
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!
With over a decade of dedicated experience in the field of substance use disorders (SUD), I have spent the majority of my career specializing in co-occurring mental health and addiction treatment. I am a dual-licensed professional in the state of New Jersey, holding credentials as both a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT). This unique background allows me to provide comprehensive, integrated care that addresses the complex intersection of substance use and relational or systemic mental health challenges.

Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Newark
Finding couples therapists in Newark starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. You may want to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist trained in couples methods like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.
Newark offers a range of local therapy options, while nearby commute patterns, transit access, and work schedules can shape what feels practical. For couples therapy, the right fit also needs to work for both partners. Consider appointment availability, virtual or in-person format, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation to discuss fit before booking. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate with couples, and approach relationship concerns.
Couples therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket responsibility before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and may accept a range of insurance plans depending on your location and coverage. You can review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
