I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I provide a warm and supportive place where you can slow down, reflect and reconnect with yourself.

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!
Hello, I’m Folasade, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 25 years of nursing experience and more than 12 years dedicated to psychiatric care. For the past two years, I’ve specialized in working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating a wide range of mental health challenges—from mood and anxiety disorders to complex psychiatric conditions.
I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.
I'm Vesna Vidojevikj, a psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in New Jersey and New York, with nearly 9 years of specialized experience in mental health. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, and I also support clients navigating depression, PTSD, trauma, OCD, and alcohol addiction. I believe mental health care should be more than a prescription — it should be a real conversation. My practice blends medication management with meaningful therapeutic support, so you receive the time and attention you deserve. I am currently accepting new telehealth clients on Fridays, evenings, and weekends.
Hello, I’m Sheree Dublin, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) licensed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
With more than 20 years of experience in mental health, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in school settings, outpatient treatment, and private practice.
As a wife and mother of three, I understand the realities of balancing relationships, parenting, career demands, and personal well-being. Those experiences allow me to bring both professional expertise and genuine understanding into the therapeutic process.
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, or feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to makes the changes need to find the peace and joy you deserve.
I believe healing happens through authentic connection, practical tools, and self-discovery. Together, we’ll identify your strengths, build effective coping strategies, and identify negative thinking and behavior patterns that affects the quality of your life.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing, gaining a deeper insight, and growth towards a better tomorrow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Newark
Searching for postpartum therapists in Newark starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum concerns, or credentials such as perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C). A therapist’s bio can also show whether their approach, communication style, and listed specialties fit what you’re looking for.
In Newark, your search may include therapists with offices near downtown, University Heights, the Ironbound, or nearby Essex County communities. In-person sessions may work well if commute time, transit access, or a regular office setting fits your schedule. Virtual appointments can also make care more accessible for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, feeding schedules, or changing availability. To narrow your options, compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session.
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 helps you search for postpartum therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, choose a therapist who accepts your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
