I'm a licensed clinical social worker based in Maplewood, NJ and the founder of canyons therapy. I can see clients who live in New Jersey, Texas, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. I am a recovering perfectionist, anxious mom, and lover of a slow-paced life. In session, you will find me casually dressed, warm beverage in-hand, and ready to hold space for your most imperfect self. Outside of session, I’m wrangling my young kids and doing my best to embrace our chaos. I enjoy being in nature, watching the latest documentary, and curating mood-setting playlists.

Hello there!

My name is Timothy Dunn, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Central New Jersey. I have been working in the mental health field since 2016, beginning in inpatient treatment, followed by several years as a case manager supporting adults with severe mental illness, and currently practicing in an outpatient setting since 2022.

I serve a diverse population across age, gender, and mental health concerns, with a focus on treating anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse and neglect, and adolescents. I am looking to work with individuals who are ready to “enter the room” and “do the work,” moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m also a husband, father, and proud dog dad who hopes to help heal the world one person at a time.

Are you struggling with navigating anxiety, depression, a major life crisis that has you isolated, feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or fearful of the world around you. Did you know that beyond the fear is freedom? What does that freedom look like for you? Let's figure it out together!

Therapist

Virtual • Little Silver, NJ


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.

Hello and welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience in outpatient mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward growth and healing.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, infertility, trauma, and those going through major life transitions. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences and build tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all — it’s about finding what works best for you. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to take steps toward the life you want.

Therapist

Virtual • Pompton Lakes, NJ


I work with children, teens, and young adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure of themselves. I know it can be hard to open up, especially if you’re used to holding things in. I’ve seen how powerful it is when people feel truly heard and supported.

I currently support middle and high school students in a therapeutic school setting and continue to provide in home therapy and family-based therapy; as well as facilitate process groups for adolescents and parent support groups.

I focus on challenges on anxiety, mood changes, trauma, and self-esteem challenges- areas that can deeply impact how someone sees themselves and moves through the world.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and value creating a culturally responsive and welcoming space. Therapy with me is collaborative — we move at your pace, but we also work toward real growth. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. We’ll work through it together.

Happy patient looking away

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 New Jersey

Searching for therapists in New Jersey starts with finding the right fit for your needs, location, and schedule. Across the state, therapy options can vary between urban, suburban, and rural areas, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with. That may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. You can also look for training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Your search may look different in Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, South Jersey, or a smaller New Jersey community. Some people prefer an in-person therapist close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include before you book.

The cost of therapy in New Jersey can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual or in-person options in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
