My name is Patrick. I'm an LCSW practicing in New Jersey that specializes in helping teens and young adults deal with OCD, social and general anxiety, future uncertainty, and low self-esteem.

I emphasize creating a warm, validating, and safe therapy experience for my clients. I offer virtual and am currently on a wait list for in person sessions.

Julia Hayward

Julia Hayward

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 7.1 mi away • New Providence, NJ


Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.

I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.

Nina Knight

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 9.6 mi away • Woodbridge Township, NJ


I'm Nina Knight — an LCSW, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S), EMDR-trained clinician, retired law enforcement officer, and U.S. military veteran. What makes my practice different is that I don't just study the experiences my clients bring through the door — I've lived many of them. I understand the weight of wearing a uniform. I understand trauma that doesn't show up on an X-ray. I understand what it means to hold yourself together for everyone else until you simply can't anymore.My practice, Living & Looking Within, serves individuals, couples, children, and families across New Jersey — in person in Woodbridge or via telehealth statewide. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, with a particular passion for first responders, veterans, BIPOC communities, and anyone navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or the emotional weight of doing a job most people could never do. I accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Horizon BCBS, Lyra, Optum, and UHC.

Great to Meet You

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, supported, and empowered to grow.

I work with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, chronic illness, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, and LGBTQIA+ experiences. I also support clients who are coping with family conflict, workplace stress, attachment concerns, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion, honesty, and accountability. Together, we'll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical coping skills, strengthen healthy boundaries, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you're navigating a major life transition, living with chronic illness, healing from past experiences, or looking to strengthen your relationships, you don't have to do it alone. My goal is to help you leave each session feeling more grounded, confident, and connected to the life you want to create. =)
