I'm a Black Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey, and I work primarily with teens and young adults — the years when everything is changing at once and no one really teaches you how to hold it. My background is unusually wide: I've worked in elementary schools, done in-home counseling with families in crisis, supported patients living with chronic kidney disease, counseled Rutgers students who aged out of foster care, and worked inside New Jersey's child protection system. What that means for you is that I've sat with people in almost every setting a young person moves through, and very little is going to slow us down. I see clients across New Jersey via telehealth on weekdays — so therapy fits around school, work, and real life instead of the other way around.

Hi, I'm Jessica and I love supporting youth and their families to bring out confidence and build healthy relationship patterns to support them as they grow in today's world. I have background in Expressive Arts Therapy and bring creative approaches including art, play, and drama therapy techniques as entry points into cognitive behavioral interventions and strategies to assist with behavior, emotion regulation, and understanding of one's self. My philosophical goal as a therapist is to help people I work with curate more joy into their lives and for children to be seen in their unique strengths and supported to grow through challenges. I believe that curiosity is the antidote to depression. Let's get curious together!

Mental health acts as a lens that shapes how we see and understand our experiences. When we take good care of it, it can make life's challenges feel less overwhelming, helping us to face them more calmly and confidently. As a therapist, I firmly believe that mental health fosters a resilient mindset that promotes self-compassion, acceptance, optimism and hope. With nearly a decade of experience as a practicing therapist, I have supported clients of all ages, ranging from infants and parents to adolescents and adults. My current focus is on helping young adults navigating the pressures of expectations, feeling disconnected from their voice, or uncertain about their next steps. I provide a space where you can fully be yourself.

I am trained in the research-based Gottman Method for couples counseling, Level 1 and 2. I'm also EMDR certified for trauma resolution counseling. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in good standing in NJ and FL. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. My personal experiences ignited in me a desire to grow and to help others feel empowered, supported, and hopeful. My professional experiences have fueled my passion to heal and help people achieve the life they desire. I love working with couples and helping partners rebuild connection and trust. Please note that most insurance plans do not cover couples therapy, as it is not considered a medically necessary service. For this reason, couples sessions are offered on a private-pay basis.

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.
