Rivka Nachum

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.2 mi away • Metuchen, NJ


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.

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 Plainfield

Searching for therapists in Plainfield starts with identifying the kind of support and clinical experience that match your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare Plainfield therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and populations served in each profile. Details like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience supporting young adults can help you decide who may be a fit.

Plainfield has local therapy options, but availability can vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across New Jersey while keeping care accessible from home. In-person sessions may be a better fit if you prefer an office setting or want a therapist near your commute. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for their approach, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. These details can help you compare fit before your first appointment.

Therapy in Plainfield can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance 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 match your preferences, confirm your insurance details, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Plainfield, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
