Welcome! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who believes that healing begins when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.
My professional background includes both clinical counseling and nonprofit leadership, giving me a unique understanding of the demands many people face while balancing careers, caregiving, leadership, education, and personal responsibilities. I am also pursuing a doctorate in Counseling and Supervision, reflecting my commitment to lifelong learning and providing high-quality, evidence-based care.
Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and equipped to move forward.
Hello and welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience in outpatient mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward growth and healing.
I believe that each person is the driver of their own life, and my role is to offer guidance, perspective, and a safe, compassionate space along the way. My approach is collaborative, empathetic, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when we feel truly understood and supported.
I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, infertility, trauma, and those going through major life transitions. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences and build tools to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all — it’s about finding what works best for you. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to take steps toward the life you want.
Hi! My name is Stefanie. I began my learning as a therapist at the University of Pennsylvania where I earned my Master of Social Work degree. I have worked with individuals experiencing difficulties with stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship conflict, life transitions, and discovering their identity.
I work with clients who are in need of someone who is caring, professional, and who is willing to provide guidance without placing blame or judgement. I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach where I help clients modify their thinking to have positive effects with their emotions and behaviors. I take into consideration the whole person including psychological, spiritual,physical, emotional,behavioral. I treat all clients with respect and help them find more appropriate and positive ways to handle life stressors and issues.
I obtained my Master’s Degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and am trained in Cognitive Behavioral therapy. I am a licensed professional counselor and licensed in drugs and alcohol.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important. I will work with you in finding healthy ways to live a more fulfilled life.
Emotions can be overwhelming, especially when coupled with difficult memories from your past. Along with poor sleep, brain fog, and no energy, it can seem impossible to cope. Many people struggle with these symptoms whether it’s from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions. Life can be hard and we all need help sometimes. I'm here to help you figure out what works best for you.
Hi, my name is Marissa and I am a licensed professional counselor in private practice who also worked as a middle school counselor for about 15 years. I believe in the therapeutic relationship because I feel you deserve to be heard in a world that can seem so loud and nonstop; while also feeling supported through the work of therapy. So whether you are feeling overwhelmed with life and its constant changes, looking to unpack past traumas, or move forward from a relationship and all that in between; I will provide an empathetic and nonjudgmental space to begin your journey into feeling like you can breathe a little easier again.
How do we make sense of our stuff? This is a critical question. Life can be challenging and sometimes we can’t understand what we are experiencing and why. Much of our ability to overcome adversity originates from our mindset- how we process our experiences. It is the lens through which we view our reality.
Essentially, what contributes to our overall well-being is not necessarily the absence of setbacks but rather how we respond to these experiences. Our ability to accept our challenges, to make meaning out of them, to understand how they serve us, is necessary for our personal growth. I work with my clients to help them shift their mindset and to find meaning in all of life’s experiences.
I have been a been a practicing Social Worker for twenty years. I hold a Ph.D. in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I take a person-centered approach to therapeutic work and integrate a variety of intervention modalities into my practice. I specialize in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Multisystemic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Structural Family Therapy. I also have extensive experience with Trauma Informed Care as well as grief and bereavement work. I partner with my clients to determine which approach might be most meaningful to them.
Welcome! I’m Allison Hurwitz, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist with more than 30 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges.

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.
