LGBT therapists in New Jersey

I believe therapy should be a safe space for you to work towards your goals, without any judgment. Rather than feeling alone, a therapist should assist you on your journey to build the life you have envisioned, while understanding that you are the expert in your own life. I will be that therapist for you. I am passionate about assisting others to understand how their past impacts their current, in order to move forward to their future. I have experience working with those who have experienced trauma, endure the daily challenges of depression, anxiety, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder, and/or deal with LGBTQ+ issues.

Come and start your journey towards a better life. I will help you develop resilience and strengthen your inner core. I will work with you to develop problem solving skills, and learn effective communication skills. I am an empathetic listener with over 10 years of experience in this field.

Reconnecting with your own inner voice is one of the most meaningful things therapy

can offer. My role is to be a compassionate witness and guide as you build awareness,

develop meaningful insight, and create a life that feels authentic and aligned with your

values. Throughout our lives, our own beliefs, needs, and intuition can become

overshadowed by the expectations and experiences of others. This can leave us feeling

disconnected from ourselves and contribute to feelings of anxiety, sadness, confusion,

or isolation. I am passionate about helping individuals rediscover their strengths, build

self-trust, and develop the confidence to move forward with greater clarity and self-

compassion. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, low

self-esteem, self-harm, trauma, parenting challenges, divorce, and family or

relationship concerns. I incorporate a holistic, mind-body approach into my work by

exploring the connection between emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations. I

believe our bodies often communicate experiences that words alone cannot fully

express, and developing awareness of these signals can be an important part of healing

and growth. I am proud to provide an affirming, inclusive space for individuals from diverse and

marginalized communities. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

As a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey, I offer remote individual psychotherapy to adults. My approach is collaborative, and you are an active partner in designing your personal goals. I individualize treatment based on your presenting concerns/needs as well as your unique background and history. Based on my training and experience in a variety of treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I use an integrative approach to help you reach your personal goals, which may involve learning skills to manage life’s difficulties and developing greater understanding of yourself.

I have more than 15 years of experience working in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals and schools. As a trained pianist and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I also incorporate creative expression in my practice, and my speciality includes issues related to cultural diversity (e.g., LGBTQIA+, Asian American mental health, immigration). As a native of Japan, I am bilingual in Japanese and English, and offer services in both languages.

Hi there! My name is Alicia and I am a licensed counselor. The first step in reaching out for help is challenging, so give yourself some credit for making it here.

My goal in sessions is for us to work collaboratively and I can give you the tools you may need to become the best version of yourself. My areas of focus are in working with trauma, family dynamics, and eating disorders.

Hi, I’m Lauren, and I’m so glad you found me!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges.

My practice is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe therapy is a space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, or simply seeking personal growth, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs.

My approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, and solution- focused therapy, which will always be guided by your goals and values. Clients often describe me as warm, empowering, and down-to-earth. I strive to create a safe and affirming environment where healing feels possible and change feels achievable.

Outside the therapy room, you can find me running around the town, working out at the gym or at the beach (weather permitted). I'm a laidback, beach girl who loves to stay active. I bring that same sense of presence into my work with clients.

If you’re ready to begin—or just curious about what therapy might offer—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Hi, I’m Tara Fries. I believe therapy can help you create a more meaningful, connected, and fulfilling life. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable space where you can sort through life’s challenges, process emotions, and develop tools to navigate daily stressors with confidence and balance.
