Find a therapist in New Jersey — covered by insurance

I am a highly seasoned clinician with years of experience in both mental health care and substance use services. My professional journey began in the substance use field, sand a deep understanding of the co-occurring mental health challenges many individuals face.

My clinical experience includes providing outpatient individual therapy and supporting individuals experiencing acute psychosis in inpatient psychiatric settings. After gaining many years of clinical experience, I expanded into leadership roles, providing clinical supervision and program oversight while managing co-occurring programs across New Jersey. I am also passionate about building the next generation of clinicians and serve part-time as an adjunct professor. I earned my degrees from Rutgers University School of Social Work and Honors College, where I was a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society and graduated summa cum laude.

I bring a diverse background and extensive knowledge to my clinical practice, having worked across a wide range of mental health and substance use settings. Over the years, I have gained experience with many different diagnoses, from anxiety and depression to trauma and co-occurring disorders. My expertise spans multiple evidence-based approaches, including ACT, CBT, DBT, SFT, trauma-informed care, person-centered therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and psychoanalytic techniques. This breadth allows me to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and goals, ensuring a personalized, effective, and compassionate approach to care.

I am Licensed Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Western New Mexico University. I have worked in various treatment settings, including detox, inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and private practice. I have extensive experience treating adult clients from diverse backgrounds who are impacted by addiction and co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and general life stressors or transitions. I incorporate interventions from a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Relapse Prevention Therapy. I utilize a person-centered approach, prioritizing a therapeutic relationship built on trust, non-judgment, compassion, and understanding. I focus on working collaboratively with clients to promote hope and empowerment and achieve personal growth.

I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.

I have a trauma-informed approach and specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ clients; clients who are experiencing challenges in relationships (such as w/ a partner, friends, family or coworkers); and clients who are moving through changes or transitions in life. Whether you’re navigating emerging adulthood and "adulting" for the first time, redefining a relationship, coming out, exploring spirituality, grieving a loss, adjusting to an empty nest, or learning how to show up in life as your true authentic self, I am here to walk beside you on your journey!

I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.

My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.

If you’re looking for support with depression, postpartum concerns, or care related to diversity, I’m here to listen. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey, offer virtual care, and work with Spanish-speaking clients.

I'm Vesna Vidojevikj, a psychiatric nurse practitioner licensed in New Jersey and New York, with nearly 9 years of specialized experience in mental health. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, and I also support clients navigating depression, PTSD, trauma, OCD, and alcohol addiction. I believe mental health care should be more than a prescription — it should be a real conversation. My practice blends medication management with meaningful therapeutic support, so you receive the time and attention you deserve. I am currently accepting new telehealth clients on Fridays, evenings, and weekends.

I support individuals navigating life’s transitions—whether that means marriage, divorce, retirement, relocation, empty nesting, menopause, or simply the quiet realization that life is asking for something new.

My practice is rooted in culturally responsive, client-centered care that honors the full complexity of who you are—not just the labels others may place on you. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen, understood, and supported without judgment.

While I work with individuals from all walks of life, I have a special passion for supporting women of color, particularly those 55 and older, who are redefining themselves in powerful new seasons of life.

You do not have to navigate change alone.

Together, we will work toward the life you are seeking—personally, professionally, and spiritually.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, trauma, critical care, geriatrics, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have seen how deeply mental health affects every part of a person’s life, their relationships, work, sleep, confidence, physical health, and ability to feel like themselves.

I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, insomnia, stress, burnout, and life transitions.

My style is warm, empowering, holistic, and solution-oriented. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to help clients feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and move toward feeling whole again. Together, we will look beyond symptoms and explore the life experiences, stressors, sleep patterns, medical concerns, relationships, and personal goals that may be affecting your mental health.

I want clients to leave care feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with a plan that helps them optimize what matters most and build a life they can truly enjoy.
