Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in New Jersey

Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I believe every person deserves a space where they feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and help you achieve meaningful, lasting change.

I am a bilingual Spanish speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Arts (M.A.) in Clinical Forensic Psychology, with over 8 years of experience providing psychotherapy across outpatient, inpatient, crisis intervention, community mental health, and care coordination settings. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, grief, behavioral challenges, and complex mental health needs. My background also includes working with individuals experiencing crises, coordinating care across multidisciplinary teams, and advocating for clients to ensure they receive comprehensive, compassionate support.

As the founder of Bliss Community and Counseling Services LLC, I also provide forensic social work services, including forensic consultations, immigration-related psychosocial evaluations, and expert witness support when appropriate. My diverse professional background allows me to understand the many personal, family, medical, and legal factors that can affect mental health and healing.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life change, struggling with past trauma, or simply looking for a supportive place to grow, I am committed to meeting you with empathy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity. I strive to empower every client with the tools, confidence, and support needed to move forward and create a life that feels balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.

I specialize in helping both youth and adults navigate past and present challenges through various treatment modalities that are evidence based. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, relationship instability and trauma. Therapy isn't one size fits all, the goal is to discover what works best for you.

My love for Social Work comes from personal life experiences and wanting to help people see the beauty in life again.

I attended Lebanon Valley College and obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and then I graduated from Monmouth University with my Masters in Social Work. I have been in the field for 5 years and continue to expand my knowledge. I have experience with both mental health and addiction, spending the first part of my career in in-patient. I currently work full time for an Outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic helping a very focused and specific population.

Everyone needs help sometimes, and I am here to listen.

I am passionate and empathetic and I believe in always giving that to my clients.

Nice to meet you all. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue to grow as a clinician while supporting others. The first half of my career I spent working with adolescents in schools and in their homes as a therapist. I gained a deep appreciation for their resilience, insight and growth. I currently work with adults who have both mental and physical challenges providing compassionate, person-centered care.

I am a board -certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping individuals achieve mental wellness through personalized, evidence-based care. I earned my Masters of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry and have several years of experience working with diverse populations in both in person and tele-psychiatry settings. My clinical focus includes mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions and life traditions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard and empowered.

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.

Whether you’re seeking support for your child, your teen, or yourself, therapy can help when life feels overwhelming. I work with children, teens, and parents navigating anxiety, ADHD, emotional outbursts, family conflict, life transitions, depression, and relationship challenges. Together, we’ll slow things down with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand the patterns shaping difficult moments so you can respond with greater confidence, strengthen communication, and create lasting change beyond the therapy room.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. While I am direct and passionate, I will challenge you and provide a space where you feel safe. We will probably laugh a lot and explore areas you may never imagined were possible to go. I am caring, open minded and love guiding clients in their journey.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a background in both medical and behavioral health care. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in real-world experience—helping clients feel understood while working together toward meaningful change.

My professional journey has included years of practice across inpatient, community, and outpatient settings, where I’ve supported individuals and families navigating mental health challenges, substance use recovery, and life transitions. I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their goals and develop strategies for wellness and resilience.

I believe effective care blends clinical knowledge with empathy, respect, and open communication. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your unique story, and help you move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
