Katie Militello

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I’m a therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human. I work with people who feel lost—whether that shows up as uncertainty, disconnection, chaos, or a sense of not quite fitting in your own life. Together, we create space to slow down, make sense of and manage challenges in your life whether that’s in men’s issues (such as communication, emotional expression, identity, relationship & societal expectations), women’s issues (such as people-pleasing, boundaries, self-worth, life transitions, expectations from others), relationships, parenting, career changes, and patterns of self-defeating choices. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, with a focus on building self-acceptance, clarity, and trust in yourself as you find your way forward.

I have experience working with adults and teens navigating mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, ADHD, as well as substance use and recovery. I use evidence-based approaches to help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change. I believe in humor and humanity in the therapy space as our therapeutic relationship is essential to making things work!

Happy patient looking away

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.
