I am a highly seasoned clinician with years of experience in both mental health care and substance use services. My professional journey began in the substance use field, sand a deep understanding of the co-occurring mental health challenges many individuals face.
My clinical experience includes providing outpatient individual therapy and supporting individuals experiencing acute psychosis in inpatient psychiatric settings. After gaining many years of clinical experience, I expanded into leadership roles, providing clinical supervision and program oversight while managing co-occurring programs across New Jersey. I am also passionate about building the next generation of clinicians and serve part-time as an adjunct professor. I earned my degrees from Rutgers University School of Social Work and Honors College, where I was a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society and graduated summa cum laude.
I bring a diverse background and extensive knowledge to my clinical practice, having worked across a wide range of mental health and substance use settings. Over the years, I have gained experience with many different diagnoses, from anxiety and depression to trauma and co-occurring disorders. My expertise spans multiple evidence-based approaches, including ACT, CBT, DBT, SFT, trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and psychoanalytic techniques. This breadth allows me to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, ensuring a personalized, effective, and compassionate approach to care.
Navigating uncertain times can feel overwhelming. I strive to provide a supportive, compassionate space where clients feel heard and empowered. My goal is to help individuals work through challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence as they move toward healing and growth.

Hi, I’m Heather Wilson Pham, a psychotherapist and Doctor of Social Work (DSW) candidate with over 10 years of experience in mental health. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, and financial stress, especially when these challenges are connected. My work focuses on empowering clients to build confidence, clarity, and independence in both their emotional and practical lives.

Hi, I’m Erica! I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional regulation challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, and social or school-related stressors. With experience in both school-based and clinical settings, I understand how emotional challenges can impact everyday life across different environments. I am also trained as a parent coach and work collaboratively with caregivers to support progress beyond sessions. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT, strengths-based therapy, and family therapy, to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, increase emotional awareness, and feel more confident navigating daily challenges.
I’m a therapist who specializes in supporting individuals and couples through some of life’s most overwhelming and tender seasons. Whether you’re navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy or postpartum, struggling with intrusive thoughts or anxiety, feeling stuck in depression, or working to strengthen your relationship, you don’t have to do it alone.
I have a particular passion for perinatal mental health, helping clients adjust to identity changes, manage expectations, and process the emotional ups and downs that can come with trying to conceive, pregnancy, and early parenthood. I also work closely with individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety, and depression, providing tools to reduce distress and build a greater sense of control and confidence.
For couples, I offer a supportive space to improve communication, rebuild connection, and navigate conflict in a more productive and meaningful way.
My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Princeton
Searching for therapists in Princeton starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. Princeton therapists may support people working through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit your goals.
In a smaller city like Princeton, the local supply of in-person therapists may vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options across New Jersey while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles before you book can also show how they describe their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Princeton can be a significant investment 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 accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments when available. You can browse Princeton therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
