Grief counselors and therapists in Newark, NJ

Licensed Professional Counselor | I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of

experience supporting adults through anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and the many

emotional challenges that can arise along the way.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and emotional wellness.

I've spent ten years in mental health — nine of them in the intersection of addiction and trauma — and what I've learned is that clinical tools only work when they're explained in ways people can actually use outside the therapy room.

My approach is energetic and practical: I break things down in plain language, connect them to real-life situations, and help clients build skills they can apply immediately. I work with adults on anxiety, PTSD, trauma, substance use, eating disorders, OCD, BPD, infertility, family stress, and relationship challenges.

As a Native American therapist, I bring cultural awareness and lived understanding to my work — especially for clients navigating identity, systemic barriers, and experiences that don't always fit standard clinical frameworks.

Hi there!

My name is Leyla Bavi and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and have been practicing as a counselor for 5 years. I also do energy healing work like reiki and hypnotherapy. I really enjoy helping people who struggle from anxiety, depression, and women's health issues. I also work with clients who have eating disorders. I would love to meet you and talk to you soon.

I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

Hi, I'm Luke. I work with burned-out professionals, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folx, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges — including healthcare workers and educators who spend their days caring for others but rarely turn that care inward. I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach and bring my own lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person to the work. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling and am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and PhD with 25 years experience working with adults, children and youth. My goal is to help you in your path towards feeling better, and experiencing an improved sense of confidence, self-esteem and functioning in your life. My specialties include adoption issues, LGBTQ issues and women's issues. I also specialize in depression, anxiety, elderly issues, disability, and stress reduction.

Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain? Life's challenges and transitions can leave us feeling stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of the next step. You don't have to face them alone.

I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment.

Together, we'll identify patterns that may be holding you back, build on your existing strengths, and develop practical coping strategies that support lasting growth. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem, or major life transitions, my goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, strengthen confidence, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Healing isn't about becoming someone different—it's about reconnecting with the person you are and creating a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. I would be honored to support you on that journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist with extensive experience providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals and couples, as well as adolescents and families. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, substance use concerns, and other emotional and behavioral challenges. I also provide sex therapy and have extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you are struggling individually or working through challenges in a relationship, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly, better understand what is happening, and begin making meaningful changes.

I earned my Master of Social Work from New York University and have a diverse clinical background that extends beyond traditional outpatient therapy. Before focusing on psychotherapy, I spent many years working as a medical social worker and care coordinator in hospital and community health settings. During that time, I supported individuals and families navigating medical and behavioral health concerns, chronic illness, substance use, domestic violence, psychiatric crises, and other difficult life circumstances.

These experiences have shaped the way I practice today. I understand that emotional well-being is often connected to relationships, physical health, family dynamics, work, identity, sexuality, and the practical pressures of everyday life. Rather than looking at a concern in isolation, I try to understand the larger context of what you are experiencing and how the different parts of your life may be affecting one another.
