Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • Metuchen, NJ


Welcome!

I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified clinical trauma professional with a deep passion for facilitating trauma healing through integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to fit your unique needs and goals.

I've provided individual and group therapy to adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including substance use treatment, community mental health, and private practice. My specialties include trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, addiction, codependency, anxiety, depression, intimacy and personality disorders.

The essence of my approach is based on the belief that early childhood experiences and relationships are often the primary influences of our unhelpful beliefs, behaviors, and coping strategies, which repeatedly pose as barriers to the freedom and personal growth we are seeking.

I'm here to support you in breaking free from survival mode and stepping into a more embodied, self-aware, and hopeful way of living - to find yourself, and the peace you have been searching for.

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.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Union

Searching for therapists in Union starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

In a smaller city like Union, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still helping you find a therapist licensed in New Jersey. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Union can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated cost before booking. You can review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
