Hello my name is Paula Poblocki and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I received my MS from Rutgers University in Clinical Mental Health. I have been described by clients as being "authentic/genuine, down-to-earth, no-nonsence, and spirited " in sessions. I am passionate about helping clients identify and overcome the obstacles in their lives, so they can enhance their overall quality of life. I aim to provide solution-focused, affirming, and holistic therapy. Although I pride myself in being a well-rounded therapist, I do have a background in working with Women's Issues, College Students/ College Transitions, Substance Use Disorder Maintenance, and Mindfulness/Meditation. I am also an LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapist too!

My love for Social Work comes from personal life experiences and wanting to help people see the beauty in life again.

I attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and then I graduated from Monmouth University with my Masters in Social Work. I have been in the field for 5 years and continue to expand my knowledge. I have experience with both mental health and addiction, spending the first part of my career in in-patient. I currently work full time for an Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic helping a very focused and specific population.

Everyone needs help sometimes, and I am here to listen.

I am passionate and empathetic and I believe in always giving that to my clients.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

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.
