Hi, I’m Jilian a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 7 years of experience as a practicing clinician.
I offer telehealth psychotherapy for individuals of all ages who are navigating complex emotions, trauma, recovery, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a space that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering.
I specialize in supporting clients experiencing anxiety, other mood disorders, addiction & recovery, ADHD, trauma, and crisis-related issues. I support fellow caregivers and helping professionals who need space to process their own pain. I also incorporate elements of Gottman Method Couples Therapy for clients navigating relationship challenges.
My experience in crisis intervention and emergency psychiatric care has given me a deep respect for the resilience it takes to keep going, even when things feel impossible. I aim to create a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment and begin to rewrite the stories that have kept you stuck.
Outside of therapy I’m passionate about music, tarot, astrology, animals, spirituality, and connecting with nature as forms of self-reflection and grounding.

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.
