I’m Sean Bourgeoise, a licensed therapist with a Master’s in Psychology. I specialize in helping adults and young professionals work through problem gambling, substance use, and anxiety. My style is supportive, practical, and focused on helping you build insight and create meaningful change.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide a compassionate, supportive space where individuals, couples, and families can explore challenges, build insight, and create lasting change.
I graduated from The College of New Jersey with a post Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I also graduated from Lincoln University with a graduate degree in Human Services. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years in a multitude of settings, including working with youth, teens, couples and families.
Welcome!
I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified clinical trauma professional with a deep passion for facilitating trauma healing through integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to fit your unique needs and goals.
I've provided individual and group therapy to adolescents, adults, and families in a variety of settings, including substance use treatment and community mental health. My specialties include trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, addiction, anxiety, depression, intimacy and personality disorders.
The essence of my approach is based on the belief that early childhood experiences and relationships are often the primary influences of our unhelpful beliefs, behaviors, and coping strategies, which repeatedly pose as barriers to the freedom and personal growth we are seeking.
I'm here to support you in breaking free from survival mode and stepping into a more embodied, self-aware, and hopeful way of living - to find yourself, and the peace you have been searching for.
In my role as a therapist, I genuinely enjoy getting to know, deeply understanding, and helping others. I recognize that every person is unique, possessing inherent worth and pre-existing strengths, skills, and challenges, and facing genuinely difficult obstacles. Therefore, I meet each person with unconditional positive regard, and open, nonjudgmental curiosity.
I have worked successfully and collaboratively with a diverse range of adults of all ages (including senior citizens and adolescents), couples, and families. This includes those facing ambivalence at a pivotal juncture in life, as well as those struggling with persistent issues, such as depression or other mood disorders; anxiety disorders; ADHD, neurodivergence, and neurodevelopmental disorders; acute and complex trauma; schizophrenia spectrum disorders; addiction and codependency issues; grief and loss; and issues unique to adolescence, aging, women’s experiences, and gender diversity.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at Gettysburg College and my Master's in Clinical Social Work at Rutgers University. In addition to my years in private practice, I have benefited from past experiences working in a high school setting, intensive outpatient settings, programs for those with co-occurring mental health and addiction needs, and programs serving those with co-occurring mental health and neurodevelopmental diagnoses.
All people are unique, and all behavior makes sense in its context when thoroughly explored and understood. I look forward to learning each person’s preferences and life experiences, and enjoy collaborating with them for positive change that significantly impacts their life and their future trajectory.
Hello reader!
I believe that my clients deserve to feel safe and heard as they navigate life. The social work field has taken me down many roads that include working with individuals, as well as children & families. Currently, I work with an array of clients ages teen to adults covering issues such as life transitions, substance abuse issues, managing a busy life and mental health issues that can come along such as anxiety and depression issues.
I previously practiced law for 17 years prior to going back to school to become a therapist after witnessing the 9/11 attacks from my office window. Most recently, I worked in a group psychotherapy practice prior to starting my own private practice where I provided therapy to adolescents (and their families) and adults who struggled with, among other things, depression and anxiety, using a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches in order to tailor treatment to fit each client’s needs.
I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating life changes or acute stressors. Seeking help is hard; I commend you on taking this next step.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and feeling truly heard. It is when people feel truly heard that true healing begins. My name is Kris and I want my clients to know that you don't have to have everything figured out before you start therapy. I strive to create a safe space where you don't have to navigate feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or major life changes alone. I have been in the Social Work field for over 30 years, with a primary focus in therapy for the last seven years. I graduated from Rutgers University with a Masters in Social Work. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Emotional Focused Therapy and relationship-focused interventions, allowing me to tailor therapy to each individual client and their goals.
I am Alyssa Pammer, M.A., LMHC working as a therapist at New York Psychological Practice. I am in direct coordination with Dr. Virginia Boga, Ph.D. In this practice, we work with anxiety, depression, Autism/ADHD, relationship issues, life stressors, trauma, and more. The bond between therapist and client is essential to the healing process. We can work together to see what works, allowing a unique, individualized approach for everyone. It helps you to be able to process your feelings and obtain realistic skills and coping tools in order to manage and regulate your emotions. You deserve to feel happy and confident!
Dr. Jones’ skills and experience permits her to work with individuals and families. Some of her skills include: Trauma; Anxiety; Grief; Depression; At-Risk Youth, Ex-Offenders and Recovering Drug and Alcohol Abusers.

As a compassionate and experienced therapist, my mission is to support individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences, including loss, acute and chronic illness, trauma, life transitions, caregiver burnout, depression, and anxiety. With an extensive background in healthcare and hospice, I understand that these difficult circumstances can leave you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of where to turn. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and evidence-based therapies to help you find clarity, healing, and strength as you navigate these challenges. I specialize in helping individuals cope with the profound emotional and psychological impact that these experiences bring.

Frequently asked questions


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.
