Congratulations on taking an important first step in helping yourself live a happier, healthier life. I've proudly been in the helping profession as a LPC and LCADC for over 25 years, working with people who are either thinking about or wanting to make changes in their lives. I work with adults with mental health and addiction issues as well as people experiencing overwhelming emotions that prevent them from living their best lives.
Hello! I am a dedicated professional with 25 years of experience helping children, teens, adults and families navigate life and relationship challenges. I bring a sense of humor and warmth to my work and believe in helping you achieve your goals.
Hi! My name is Kyle Burke and I was born and raised in South Jersey. I have been doing this work for almost 20 years in various settings. I am a licensed psychologist with specializations working with people who have experienced trauma, are struggling with mood and anxiety issues, and those exploring grief/bereavement and identity concerns. I enjoy what I do and I would love to hear from you, talk with you, and see if we're a good match.
My name is Carmen Hernandez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I believe in the power of healing and overcoming life's challenges. I have experience treating mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).
Hey there! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who took the hard way into this field—building experience through Wilderness Programs, PHP/IOPs, Community Mental Health, In-Home services, and Therapeutic Schools. I’ve walked alongside clients in some of the toughest settings, and I’m ready to help you navigate anxiety, depression, and the stress of modern life. I believe growth happens when you’re supported, seen, and equipped to move forward. If you’re ready to do the work, look in the mirror, and share your wisdom—I’m with you.
Welcome! As a therapist, my mission is to cultivate a place for you to share your story and rediscover your strengths. I integrate my education, training, and lived experience to create an informed, compassionate practice built on mutual trust and safety. Contact me and we can begin to write your next chapters, together.
As a trauma-informed, EMDR-trained, and perinatal mental health–certified clinician, I support women through all stages of their fertility and motherhood journey. Whether you’re just beginning to consider having children, wondering how your past experiences may shape your parenting, or feeling deep in the trenches of parenthood, I’m here to offer support, guidance, and practical skills to help you navigate this experience with greater confidence and compassion.
Choosing the right counselor is an important part of your therapeutic journey. I believe that we all need an opportunity to understand ourselves and our experiences with greater clarity and acceptance. My approach as a Clinical Psychologist incorporates Person Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Family Systems frameworks. I truly enjoy collaborating with my clients to create an individualized treatment plan that is two-pronged. Initially addressing concerns and then learning and implementing tools and skills to navigate those challenges.
I have experience working with clients of all ages with a variety of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, divorce, family concerns, school, bullying, legal issues, life-transitions, and women’s issues.
It is important to me that my clients end each session feeling a healthy sense of pride and accomplishment that they took time to care for and work on themselves. I wholeheartedly believe in the benefit of therapy and make it my priority to help my clients realize the power they have to go and grow.
The opportunity to serve clients seeking mental and behavioral health treatment is one of my life's greatest gifts. I believe in the strengths of each client, and I believe their pain, challenges, and story. Through relationship-building and a mutual exchange of information as we define and refine goals of treatment, and the use of our agreed-upon tool kit (evidence-based intervention modalities), we will engage with curiosity in a mutual exchange of information, exploring, discovering, learning, and skill building to meet treatment goals. If you know why you are here, I am here for you. If you don’t know exactly why you are here- perhaps a thought, a feeling, or experience lead you here- I am here for you. People are unique, complex, multifaceted, and deserving of care.

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.
