Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Know that I bring over 7 years of experience and a genuinely holistic, open-minded approach to every session. Expect a therapist who leads with empathy rather than clinical distance. I've spent my career working with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions of identity, and I understand that those experiences are often shaped by culture, race, gender, and community in ways textbooks rarely capture. Trust that you can bring your full self here, including the parts of your story that feel complicated or hard to name.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi! I am Felicia. I am a LCSW in the State of New Jersey as well as a PMH-C (certified by postpartum support international). I transitioned from working with adults & teens to also expanding to working with women experiencing PMAD (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) in 2024 as well. My ideal client is a young adult or woman experiencing a difficult time in their life or in motherhood. I love empowering & educating clients to overcome these difficulties. My ideal client is looking for a therapist who does not judge them, is caring, and is dynamic in the therapeutic process while cheering them on!

My calling to working with young adults and mothers is my own life experiences. I have made it my mission to stay up to date with the best continuing education, and resources in order to empower my clients. Many of my clients feel more confident in working together after the initial few sessions. I want my clients to feel HOPEFUL about their future.

It can be so difficult to ask for help. I would love to have that be the hardest part of the process of working together. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, safe, and not feel judged by anything you need to share. I strive to make therapy a space that you feel challenged enough to grow but safe enough to be vulnerable in the process. Let's grow!

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.
