Hi! My name is Jillian and I am a licensed social worker. I work primarily with adults and young adults (18+) to help manage topics such as anxiety, stress and life transitions. I also have a strong background in supporting those who may be navigating medical challenges like chronic or terminal illness.
I'm a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in holistic care for high-achieving young professionals experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I completed my residency at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, a clinical affiliate of Rutgers, with a background in neuroscience and psychology from UC Davis.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and Licensed Social Worker (LSW) who provides a supportive, open-minded, and judgment-free space for adults navigating substance use and addictive behaviors. This can include alcohol or drug use, gambling, gaming, or other behaviors that may be interfering with your life, relationships, or overall well-being.
You don’t have to be sure that you’re ready to get sober, and you don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Maybe you’re questioning your relationship with a substance or behavior, thinking about making a change, struggling to maintain recovery, or simply want to better understand what’s going on. Wherever you are in that process, we can start there.
My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing without fear of judgment. I believe change is possible, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Hello, I am Marianne, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience specializing in Trauma-Informed Therapy, offering a compassionate and validating space for clients to process difficult experiences and build a stronger sense of self. I utilize an integrative approach, incorporating techniques from various therapeutic modalities to best meet each individual's needs. Therapeutic techniques include Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness practices to help clients build resilience and achieve their goals.
The best laid plans of mice and men may not always cover every eventuality. Life often changes the drop of a dime, and when that happens, you will need someone who can empathize and work with you as the unique individual you are. While changes are inevitable, they may not always be negative. I will work with you on finding you a new path forward in this new stage of your life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a deep commitment to helping individuals and families thrive. I have extensive experience supporting diverse communities across various mental health settings and take pride in creating safe, compassionate spaces for healing and growth. Known for being a collaborative team member with strong organizational skills, I bring a background in individual and group counseling, community outreach, case management, advocacy, and crisis intervention.
My approach to therapy is holistic, client-centered, and strengths-based, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. I integrate evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies, while also encouraging self-care, balance, and personal growth beyond the therapy space. I value cultural responsiveness and view each person through a lens of resilience and possibility.
I’m passionate about empowering others to reach their fullest potential through empathy, connection, and effective, evidence-based support.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to empowering individuals through a strengths-based, solution-focused approach. As an African American woman in the field, I bring cultural awareness, authenticity, and compassion to my work, creating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I specialize in helping individuals identify their inherent strengths and develop practical, achievable strategies for growth.
Welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of their mental health. I received my MA in Counseling from Webster University.

I am here to walk together with you on your healing journey and offer perspectives and techniques that will improve your everyday life.

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.
