People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Others are navigating life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, changing careers, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Sometimes there isn’t a single crisis. Instead, there is a growing sense that life feels harder than it should, or that old ways of coping are no longer working.
I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are trying to manage the demands of everyday life while carrying a great deal beneath the surface. Many are bright, capable, and caring people who find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, distracted, stuck in patterns of worry, or struggling to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to better understand what is keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.
My name is Patrick. I'm an LCSW practicing in New Jersey that specializes in helping teens and young adults deal with OCD, social and general anxiety, future uncertainty, and low self-esteem. Whether anxiety is a life long challenge, or a relatively new struggle following a big life change like starting college or beginning a new job, I help my clients develop the tools and insights needed to overcome anxiety, improve their mood, and grow their confidence. I emphasize creating a warm, validating, and safe therapy experience for my clients. I offer virtual and am currently on a wait list for in person sessions.

I am a dedicated and compassionate dually certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Adult-Geriatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioners with a passion for improving access to mental health care through telehealth services. I focus on supporting my clients with empathy, purpose, and professionalism. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, sleep disorders, grief, postpartum mental health challenges, loneliness, life transitions, and emotional changes related to aging.
Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.
I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.
Whether you are in a place of uncertainty and desperation or hoping to reach your utmost potential, I congratulate you for making this step in taking control of your life and facing your challenges. Every individual, whether you are a parent, student, professional, athlete or performer, endures pain or confusion at some point in life. As a professional support to you, I feel privileged to assist you, without judgement, in reclaiming a life of peace and control that you so rightly deserve.
My specialty is "trauma", which is a broad term. Any experience that leaves you feeling unsafe, confused, insecure or unloved can be traumatic. I work with sexual abuse, violent and workplace trauma, natural disasters, infidelity and all the anxieties that may come with trying to cope with these issues.
I use an eclectic approach because no one modality fits every person and every situation. I use psychotherapy techniques, cognitive behavior therapy, hypnosis and EMDR. I also continually attend conferences to stay current with the best and newest forms of treatments.

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Newark, NJ
Finding OCD therapists in Newark starts with looking for the right training, not just a general therapy match. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, checking, or anxiety connected to OCD, review therapist profiles for listed experience with OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and related concerns.
Newark offers both local office options and virtual therapy, which can help you compare more therapists across the area. In a mid-size market, it helps to narrow your search by appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their profile shows specific ERP training rather than general familiarity with OCD. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how a therapist describes their approach, session structure, and experience with obsessive thoughts and compulsions.
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. Headway makes it easier to search for OCD therapists, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, confirm your coverage on Headway, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can browse therapist profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you are ready.
