I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with years of experience as a medical social worker which means I've supported people through some of life's most overwhelming moments, not just in a therapy office. I work with adults, teens, and children navigating anxiety, major life transitions, and the particular challenges that come with developmental disabilities. I bring a direct approach and I take my clients seriously.
I've been working in the field for over 15 years, I spent a lot of that time in community mental health. This experience gave me a wealth of experience and made me a well balanced therapist.
In my free time, I love watching sports, traveling and spending as much time as possible with my sassy little toddler.
As the founder of Voice & Value Psychotherapy PC, I offer bilingual (English/Spanish) therapy grounded in warmth, respect, and cultural humility. I hold a Doctorate in Psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey, with clinical experience spanning trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and the stressors that come with navigating identity, acculturation, and belonging.
My doctoral research focused on acculturation stress and discrimination within Latine communities, and that lens continues to shape how I understand the ways culture, environment, and lived experience shape mental health. I work with adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and the weight of stressors that often go unspoken. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and never judged.
Licensed Professional Counselor accepting in‐network insurance — virtual therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, identity & life transitions.
I’m Jeff Ferrera, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, NCC) with 10 years of experience serving clients in New Jersey through Headway, I accept in‐network plans (Aetna, Cigna, UHC/Optum, Horizon BCBSNJ, Oscar & more) to make quality therapy affordable and accessible.
I have been a Social Worker for over 17 years. I have been trained and certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from The Beck Institute in Philadelphia, PA and Marriage and Family Therapy from the Multicultural Family Institute in Highland Park, NJ. I have also been trained in Exposure and Response Prevention to treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I am trained and utilize many other modalities such as guided meditations, sound vibration and energy healing, and emotional freedom technique ("tapping"). I truly believe everyone grows and heals their own way and there is not one perfect formula for anyone.
I believe that we have all the answers inside us and ultimately are our best guides. I look at counseling and therapy as a way to connect you to yourself, so you can begin to heal and trust your own inner wisdom.
When I work with clients I come from a place of no judgement. In our sessions you will feel a safe space to open up and share what you are struggling with. I feel that under all of our pain, shame, guilt and sadness is our REAL selves and working together we can see where all the beliefs came from and start to find your way back to your true self.
I have a M.S. Mental Health Counseling graduate degree with a specialization in Substance Abuse Disorder, a M.A. Psychology graduate degree and an undergraduate B.A. Psychology degree.
I have worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, detox and rehab facilities, outpatient PCP and IOP mental health and individual private practice. I have worked with a range of different clients from many different backgrounds and ages (children, preteen, teen, adult and elderly).
It takes courage to seek a new path, especially when it feels incredibly hard to simply exist in the world right now. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel completely held, accepted, and heard. Our sessions are an active, compassionate conversation—I don't just sit and nod. Because traditional talk therapy isn't always enough for anxiety, depression, or a nervous system shaped by trauma and neurodivergence, I offer an integrative approach that connects the mind and the body. I’m FranCina, a licensed professional therapist in NJ and PA, and a Board Certified Registered Art TherapistSM (ATR-BC®) in PA. Together, we will view you as a whole person—not a problem to be fixed—using narrative, somatic, and creative tools tailored entirely to what feels comfortable and supportive for you.
I was born and raised in Montana and have a genuine passion for nature and the outdoors. I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Montana State University in 2001. I then pursued my Masters of Social Work degree and graduated in 2008 from the University of Montana. This graduate program had a focus on providing a social justice and integrated practitioner perspective. I have an eclectic style that can be tailored to each unique individual. My primary therapeutic methods include Mindfulness Based, Holistic, Exposure, Narrative, Cognitive and Behavioral, Strengths Based & Solution Focused Therapies. I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate environment that often helps people feel comfortable. A true passion of mine is structuring therapeutic activities for clients to express, process, increase self-awareness, and de-stress from life’s challenging and developmental experiences.

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.
