I'm a Georgia Peach with a New Jersey Swag. I am from Newark, New Jersey but I lived in Georgia for about 15yrs. I have that southern touch along with that New Jersey toughness. I love helping people obtain their goals in life. I have been in the field of counseling for over20yrs. I know counseling works because I've personally tried it. Counseling is my 2nd career in life and my combination of education and life experiences tends to be a great match for helping others.
I have been providing direct care to individuals 18 years and older for 23 years. I earned my Master of Social Work from Hunter School of Social Work. I have experience working with individuals with experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, mid-life transitions, trauma, chronic health conditions, family conflicts and stress management. I find it rewarding to be a part of a person's therapy journey and to be a catalyst to positive change in their lives.
My goals for treatment are to help clients gain greater insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; develop healthy coping strategies; strengthen self-esteem and self-awareness; improve relationships; and build the skills and confidence needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
Hi! I'm Stephanie. I've been in the behavioral health space for nearly 20 years, and I am so happy you are here. I would love to join you on your own journey.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is incredibly important. I’m Antonette Ross, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
I primarily work with adults who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stressed, stuck, or simply trying to navigate changes in their lives and relationships. Sometimes you know exactly what is bothering you, and other times you may just know that you haven’t been feeling like yourself. Either way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My experience spans private practice, behavioral health care management, crisis intervention, and other clinical settings. More than anything, I believe in meeting people where they are and helping them recognize their strengths, find greater balance, and move toward a life that feels healthier and more fulfilling.
If you have been carrying anxiety, stress, or the weight of navigating life in a new country,
or simply feel like something is off and you are not sure where to start, you are in the right
place. I am Jonnelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 11 years of experience
supporting people through complex life transitions, immigration challenges, anxiety and depression. My approach is holistic and deeply culturally responsive: I believe healing involves the
mind, body, and soul together, not just symptoms. Using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and somatic-
informed techniques, we work at your pace to build clarity, resilience, and a life that feels
authentic to you.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a Master of Science in Nursing from Maryville University. Throughout my career, I have worked across a wide spectrum of psychiatric environments, ranging from inpatient acute care to outpatient clinical settings. This experience has allowed me to support a diverse population, including adults and geriatric patients navigating various stages of life.
My areas of specialty include:
Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation & Medication Management: Providing evidence-based, cautious, and collaborative medication planning to help you reach stability.
Adult & Geriatric Psychiatry: Addressing the unique mental health needs of adults and older adults.
Holistic Mental Health Support: Integrating symptom management with a focus on lifestyle and overall well-being.
Therapeutic Alliance: Building a strong, trusting partnership to navigate complex mental health challenges

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.
