Whether you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or chronic pain, I am determined to guide you towards the peace you deserve.
I'm a Clinical Social Worker. My clinical objective includes empowering individuals and families to cultivate their"Inner Harmony Hub". The most important ingredient involves clients exercising self-compassion in a judgement free therapeutic space.
Taking the first step towards change can feel overwhelming and you don’t have to do it alone. Hi, my name is Carlah and I am here to walk beside you on your recovery journey.

Paulina Levinzon is a mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience working with individuals, families, and couples ages 11 and up. With experience working in private practice, group therapy programs, and in hospital settings Paulina had extensive experience in helping people to achieve their goals.
I previously practiced law for 17 years prior to going back to school to become a therapist after witnessing the 9/11 attacks from my office window. Most recently, I worked in a group psychotherapy practice prior to starting my own private practice where I provided therapy to adolescents (and their families) and adults who struggled with, among other things, depression and anxiety, using a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches in order to tailor treatment to fit each client’s needs.
My name is Jasmine Cepeda, LCSW. With over 13 years of clinical experience, my therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in helping folks process difficult transitions and painful emotions. Whether you're carrying unresolved wounds from the past, feeling distressed by your current relationships, or experiencing social or existential dread, I’m here to help you make sense of your experience.
My therapeutic practice focuses on helping people understand and work with emotional and relational patterns that continue to show up in present life. In therapy, we work with what is happening in the present moment, emotionally, physically, relationally, and environmentally, so these patterns can begin to shift into a more grounded & integrated sense of self.
I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.
Do you understand your experiences intellectually, but still find yourself reacting in ways you don’t understand? You may know where your patterns come from, yet still feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful relationship patterns.
I work with adults who are ready to understand not only why they feel the way they do, but also to create meaningful change in how they experience themselves, their relationships, and their lives.
My work is especially focused on trauma, attachment wounds, narcissistic and emotional abuse, sexual trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, self-worth, and major life transitions. I bring a warm, compassionate, and deeply individualized approach to therapy. I believe you should feel safe enough to explore difficult experiences without feeling judged, rushed, or pressured to “just move on.”
Together, we look at the connection between your experiences, emotions, thoughts, body, and relationships. My goal is not simply to help you cope with symptoms, but to help you develop greater self-understanding, self-trust, emotional freedom, and a stronger sense of who you are.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Trenton
Searching for therapists in Trenton starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what to expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Trenton, your local options may depend on office location, schedule, and current availability. Virtual appointments can expand your search across New Jersey while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Trenton neighborhoods like Downtown, Chambersburg, or Old Mill Hill, or virtual sessions that fit your calendar. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, communication style, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Trenton 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, verify your benefits, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists, compare bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
