Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in New Jersey

I’ve very open minded and calm. I try to meet my clients where they are and gain a better understanding of goals they would like to reach or areas of their life they may be struggling to cope with.

I'm Elanna, a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults navigating

anxiety, trauma, and the weight of everyday stress. My style is direct and warm: I bring

humor and genuine curiosity into sessions, and I draw on Acceptance and Commitment

Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, and strength-based approaches to help you

move from surviving to building a life that actually fits you. I practice in New Jersey and

see clients via telehealth. If any of this resonates, I'd love to connect.

I want potential clients to know that I am a genuine person/ therapist. I will always be genuine and honest with you. I am very easy going, easy to talk with, and I believe one of my strengths is the ability to gain a client's trust- allowing the person to feel comfortable discussing any issue without fear of judgment. I have 25 years experience as a psychotherapist working with all ages from children to the elderly in correctional settings, substance abuse, and a university.

I am Dr. Obinna Ezealor, DNP, PMHNP‐BC, a psychiatric nurse practitioner with over 12 years of clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, and long‐term psychiatric settings. My work spans general and addiction psychiatry, and I have extensive experience supporting individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I believe every client deserves care that honors their story, strengths, and goals.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who provides a supportive, open-minded, and judgment-free space for adults navigating substance use and addictive behaviors. This can include alcohol or drug use, gambling, gaming, or other behaviors that may be interfering with your life, relationships, or overall well-being.

You don’t have to be sure that you’re ready to get sober, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Maybe you’re questioning your relationship with a substance or behavior, thinking about making a change, struggling to maintain recovery, or simply want to better understand what’s going on. Wherever you are in that process, we can start there.

My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without fear of judgment. I believe change is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Emotions can be overwhelming, especially when coupled with difficult memories from your past. Along with poor sleep, brain fog, and no energy, it can seem impossible to cope.
