Alisa Dickson

Alisa Dickson

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Alisa, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of The Hour She Keeps, a virtual psychotherapy practice created with women in mind.

For more than six years, I’ve worked in mental health and substance use treatment with adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigating anxiety, relationships, identity, major life transitions, and the complicated seasons that don’t always look complicated from the outside. I have a particular heart for women who are used to keeping it together. The career is moving. The appointments are booked. Everyone can count on you. Maybe you’re becoming a mother, finding yourself again after motherhood, navigating a relationship, or simply realizing that the woman underneath everything she does deserves some attention too. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University with a focus in mental health and addictions. With me, you don’t have to make the story prettier before you tell it. Come as you are. We’ll figure out the rest together.

I am passionate about helping people heal, grow, and feel more at home in their own lives. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative.

I have a Master’s in Criminal Justice and a Master’s in Clinical Counseling Psychology, and have spent over 20 years supporting individuals through mental health crises, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) and I genuinely love what I do.

My career has been dedicated to working with some of the most overlooked populations including justice-involved individuals, those navigating reentry, and people in the midst of life’s most difficult moments. My background spans clinical counseling, crisis intervention, and correctional settings, giving me a uniquely grounded perspective on what healing actually requires.

This is a space where all parts of your story are welcome, and where we work together toward the version of yourself you want to become.

Kathryn Hahn

Therapist

Virtual • Phillipsburg, NJ


If your brain feels loud, relentless, or like it won’t shut off, you’re in the right place.

I work with clients navigating Anxiety, OCD, and ADHD who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and burnout. Whether you’re dealing with rumination, executive dysfunction, or emotional overwhelm, therapy with me focuses on helping you better understand your brain and learn how to work with it, not against it.

Many of my clients appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or exhausted behind the scenes. Our work focuses on building self-awareness, improving your relationship with yourself, and helping you feel more grounded and in control.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start, just a willingness to show up and be honest. I’ll meet you with support, structure, and the right amount of challenge.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Centenary University and a Bachelor’s degree from Montclair State University.

If you’re ready to feel more in control, more understood, and less at war with your mind, I’d be glad to connect.

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.
