Misty Shores

Misty Shores

Therapist

Virtual • Westfield, NJ


Welcome! I specialize in evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related concerns, grief, and life transitions. I work with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, first responders, veterans, and families seeking structured support and meaningful change.

I use compassion, warmth, and a touch of humor to help clients feel safe, understood, and at ease during our work together. I also strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore challenges without judgment and reconnect with their strengths.

Therapeutically, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed practices, psychodynamic approaches, DBT skills, mindfulness, and strengths-based coaching to support clarity, healing, and growth at each client’s pace.

Inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the Four Immeasurables—happiness, joy, compassion, and equanimity—my practice reflects a commitment to cultivating emotional resilience and deeper wellbeing in everyday life.

Whether you're seeking support through stress, trauma, neurodivergence, identity development, or life transitions, my role is to walk with you, guide you, and help you discover meaningful change from the inside out.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • East Orange, NJ


Hi, my name is Geralda Gelus-Jules, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I work with adults and young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood changes, and life stressors.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and supportive. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard, respected, and never judged. Together, we will explore what you are going through, identify patterns, and build a plan that may include medication, coping skills, lifestyle changes, and referrals for therapy when needed.

As a nurse practitioner, I combine medical knowledge with a holistic view of you as a whole person—mind, body, culture, family, and environment. My goal is to help you feel more stable, hopeful, and in control of your life again.

I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support you on your mental health journey.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Newark, NJ

Finding family therapists in Newark starts with clarifying what your family wants support with. Family therapy may help address parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, family behavioral concerns, and communication breakdowns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that describe experience with your specific concerns, family structure, and preferred approach to care.

In Newark, the right fit may depend on both location and session structure. Some families prefer an office that is easy to reach from home, school, or work, while others use virtual sessions to make scheduling simpler across multiple calendars. Attendance can vary by session and may include the full family, parent-child pairs, siblings, or individual family members. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on availability, approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered, so you can ask how sessions are typically structured.

Family 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 what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists who are accepting new patients, may accept a range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
