My name is Adriana Arteta and I have 11 years of experience. I have worked with many different populations and now I am focusing now on adult individual therapy.
I’m Aditi Rai, LMHC-D, and the founder of Aura of Hope Psychotherapy, a New York–based telehealth practice supporting adults navigating anxiety, self-doubt, and the lasting impact of family and relational wounds. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and create meaningful change.
I care deeply about creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and free of judgment. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. My role is to help you feel seen and supported as we explore what’s been heavy—while helping you reconnect with your inner strength, confidence, and capacity for healing.
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, managing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, psychosis, ADHD, OCD, and substance use.
I am dedicated to helping people become emancipated from their past, fears, and the things that don't serve us anymore.
Hey there! I'm Jen, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience. I specialize in helping adults just like you manage their anxiety and break through negative barriers that prevent you from reaching your goals. As we partner together, I'll teach you key strategies to use when your mindset is working against you and how to lean on your strengths to get positive results in work and life.
I am here to provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can explore life's challenges. My background in clinical social work means I not only focus on your internal experiences, but also understand how family, community, social factors, and your health impact your well-being. I subscribe to a simple philosophy: you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to stand with you, offering support and new perspectives within the context of your unique world.
I believe in a client-centered approach, combining holistic and evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual. Recognizing that people are equal parts nature, nurture and the surroundings in which they live is a priority of mine, as no two people endure the same sets of circumstances. Moving forward consists of recognizing where a person is at that time, as well as crafting the space to assist them on the path to where they would like to be in order to have a better quality of life.

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.
