Did you experience trauma in childhood or adolescence? Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, fear, or depression? Do you feel misunderstood by others, judged, or find it challenging to connect with others? Therapy is a safe place where you can understand yourself better and learn to cope with these thoughts and feelings, which may be interfering with your happiness, health, and relationships.
After several years of working as a Clinical Psychologist in Lima-Perú, I obtained my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in the United States. I have experience in assessing and treating families, couples and individuals within the context of their relationships, focusing on families struggling with a variety of challenges including trauma, parenting, anxiety, emotional and physical abuse, and loss.
Welcome! I'm glad you're taking the first step towards entering therapy. A little about myself... I take a humanistic, compassionate and person centered approach, which focuses on authenticity and the importance of the therapeutic relationship. This means that I focus on getting to know you, your strengths, and interests, because it's important to establish a connection. As your treatment I want to meet you where you are, while also challenging you to explore alternative perspectives and ideas.

As a board certified provider in both Psychiatry and Internal Medicine, Dr. Gordon Kusi specialize in working with individuals who may be experiencing ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, substance use, depression or trauma—particularly when these struggles stem from difficult relationships or family dynamics. In our initial sessions, we will take the time to explore the challenges you're facing in depth and work together to create a personalized plan for healing and growth. Many of my clients begin to notice a gradual relief from symptoms within the first month, with continued improvement over time. My goal is to support you in regaining a sense of balance, clarity, and control so you can move forward with greater confidence and peace
I have a background which includes many years of Post-Graduate education, knowledge and experience providing mental health care to those who need help dealing with a wide range of mental health issues or concerns. Whether you desire improved and better quality relationships, need help with feelings, with issues of daily life, or with reaching your goals, I can help you gain emotional health - the ability to love, work and play as you wish.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 15 years of Post-Graduate education and training in Modern Psychoanalysis at the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis, which allows me to listen and respond to your needs, through special understanding of unconscious processes that affect the human mind as a whole.
My specialty is in using Talk Therapy as a treatment for relieving mental and emotional distress. Whatever your diagnosis, difficulty, age, finances, or emotional needs, I help you with the process of talking to solve conflicts which block you from accomplishing what you want in life.

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.
