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.
Hi, I’m Tara Fries. I believe therapy can help you create a more meaningful, connected, and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable space where you can sort through life’s challenges, process emotions, and develop tools to navigate daily stressors with confidence and balance.
I enable strategies and techniques that are specific to each client.
I provide skilled and compassionate mental health care. I implement different psychotherapeutic techniques, according to your specific needs.
This includes: Psychotherapy, Jungian and Freudian Psychoanalysis, Trauma Informed, Polyvegal Theory treatment (which includes our brain and body connection), Somatic Therapy (which also connects body, mind and breath or spirit), Grief Therapy, LGBTQIA+ informed support if appropriate to you, Mindfulness Therapy based on my life long experience as a yoga practitioner and Certified Yoga Teacher, Narrative therapy for those who like to write, Art therapy to integrate images to the healing process, Attachment Therapy (which includes early childhood relationships to caregivers and how that has influenced you), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (which focuses on transforming your negative thoughts to learn new behaviors and ways of thinkings which are more helpful to your wellbeing).
I implement the above mentioned techniques and others as are appropriate and acceptable to your individual emotional, physical and mental health needs.
I provide mental health care for people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures. This includes seniors, adolescents, and children. My profound and extensive education, and diverse professional experiences empower me to help a wide range of people and needs.
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.

Welcome!
I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified clinical trauma professional with a deep passion for facilitating trauma healing through integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to fit your unique needs and goals.
I've provided individual and group therapy to adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including substance use treatment and community mental health. My specialties include trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, addiction, anxiety, depression, intimacy and personality disorders.
The essence of my approach is based on the belief that early childhood experiences and relationships are often the primary influences of our unhelpful beliefs, behaviors, and coping strategies, which repeatedly pose as barriers to the freedom and personal growth we are seeking.
I'm here to support you in breaking free from survival mode and stepping into a more embodied, self-aware, and hopeful way of living - to find yourself, and the peace you have been searching for.
I am compassionate, warm, patient and easy to talk to. I work with empathy and listen actively to your concerns. Blood works are drawn on site at the office.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PsA, I approach my practice with a person-centered and holistic perspective, guiding clients to identify and pursue solutions in every facet of their lives. My commitment is to create a space where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions freely, fostering a collaborative journey towards growth and healing.
I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients can openly share their experiences, goals, and challenges. I strive to meet clients where they are while helping them build insight, confidence, resilience, and lasting wellness.
I specialize in adolescents, young adults, and adults. I help develop coping strategies using DBT and CBT skills that produce successful outcomes. As a teacher in the public school systems for over 25 years, I have worked with learning difficulties and social emotional issues caused by all the environmental stressors our generation has to manage.

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
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.
