Are you an athlete or high-performer struggling with feelings of inadequacy? Do you battle anxiety or struggle with body image? Are you simply looking for happiness? I'm Michelle Solino, LPC, a licensed professional counselor in NJ, and CT specializing in anxiety, depression, eating disorders, disordered eating, and sports counseling.
Whether you're dealing with performance anxiety, body image issues, or life's complexities, I'm here to help you achieve well-being and personal growth.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Did you experience trauma in childhood or adolescence? Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, fear, or depression?

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark
Searching for therapists in Newark starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and training fit your needs. A bio may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In Newark, your search may include therapists near downtown, the North Ward, the Ironbound, University Heights, and nearby Essex County communities. Location can matter if you prefer in-person care, especially when factoring in commute time, transit access, parking, or appointments near work or home. Virtual sessions can also make it easier to find a therapist whose schedule fits yours. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
