I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama, Colorado, and New Jersey with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I feel honored to work with adults 45 and older, supporting them through life transitions and the deep challenges of grief. My style is compassionate and collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Impact Therapy, and person-centered counseling. Together, we focus on building coping skills, strengthening resilience, and creating meaningful change so you can move forward with hope and confidence.
I graduated from Indiana University, Bloomington in 2006 after I came to the U.S.to pursue my dream to be a therapist from Korea. I believe that everyone has an unique life story and a right to be heard. I have worked children with wounded hearts, their parents, young adults in identity crisis and adults in relational conflicts. I utilize my expertise to help my clients to reclaim their inner beauty.
Hi! I'm Veronica, and I'm a dedicated therapist who's committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion.
I have a background in counseling and received my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My clinical experience has allowed me to work with numerous populations in settings such as community mental health, outpatient settings, and hospitals. Through this work I have supported clients work through chronic mental health symptoms, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and behavioral issues.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in New Jersey, I bring nearly 20 years of diverse experience in outpatient therapy, case management, partial care programs, school-based services, substance use treatment, and community mental health. A proud graduate of Rutgers University (Class of 2005), I have had the privilege of working with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences. I believe that every person's journey is unique, and I am committed to providing personalized, compassionate care tailored to each individual's needs—because there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
If you're seeking a dedicated mental health professional who values individuality and fosters genuine growth, I would be honored to collaborate with you or someone you care for.

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.
