Hi! I am Rajitha Pillai (Raji), Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience in the mental health field, inclusive of experiences from India and in the US. I have earned my Master of Science Degree in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University. I am basically a Clinical Psychologist, REBT Therapist and Hypnotherapist from India. I also hold a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology and also has a Postgraduate diploma in Clinical and Community Psychology from India. I work with individuals, couples, families who are navigating a variety of life challenges whether it is anxiety, relationship issues, stress or any other life issues. I use REBT, SFBT, CBT and other techniques to make a positive change in their lives. My approach is collaborative and goal focused. I create a supportive, safe, nonjudgemental and welcoming space where we can work together to move forward towards your preferred future. You will be leaving each session with clarity and direction. Basically I am here to provide you with meaningful and lasting change. If you are open to it, I would love to learn more about what brings you here and what you are hoping to get out of therapy.
I'm Shannon White, LCSW-S, an Integrative Mental Health Therapist with more than 23 years of experience. Much of my work centers women who are used to being the ones others depend on. They may be leading at work, caring for their families, building something of their own, or simply carrying more than most people realize.
From the outside, they often appear to be doing well. Inside, they know something has shifted.
I also work with men who find themselves in a similar place and are ready to better understand how stress, responsibility, and the demands of life are affecting them.
My work is grounded in evidence-based mental health care, whole-person wellness, and Christian principles. I believe good therapy should make room for the whole person and go deeper than simply helping you function better. I won't rush you toward resolution, and I won't mistake your composure for wellness. My style is rigorous clinically and gentle personally — because healing deserves both.

She plans to pursue a doctoral degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in the near future.
I have spent a majority of my training working across the lifespan from childhood to adulthood, and within family systems. I am trained in helping clients with stress and anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and depression. Some of the individuals that I work with are in recovery from eating and substance-related disorders. My clients often face school and work avoidance and may find it difficult to do things they once enjoyed.
I offer 25+ years of experience where I will provide a safe, warm environment that allows you to explore and process your issues safely and effectively. Together we can work to ease the challenges and difficulties you face that will help you find resolution, contentment and fulfillment in your life.
I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

Hi, I’m Danielle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’m passionate about helping people find healing, balance, and growth through life’s challenges.
I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Stockton University in 2016 and went on to complete my Master of Social Work (MSW) at Fordham University’s Advanced Standing Clinical Track in 2017. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals and families across many settings including hospice care, services for the unhoused population, psychiatric hospitals, and, in the most recent years, in public schools as part of the Child Study Team writing IEPs and providing counseling.
These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how emotional, environmental, and social factors impact well-being. In my practice, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique story and goals.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or life transitions, I’m here to work alongside you as you build resilience and rediscover your sense of self.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C) I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the College of Saint Elizabeth and a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Rutgers University. I have received specialized training in maternal mental health, perinatal bereavement and loss, and healing birth trauma. I have supported individuals and groups in both outpatient and intensive outpatient settings.
Before entering the field of clinical social work, I spent over a decade in the corporate world, with experience in management and accounting. This second career reflects my deep commitment to walking alongside individuals through some of life’s most challenging—and meaningful—transitions.
I’ve been a therapist for over a decade, and I focus my work towards supporting adults through life transitions; if you’re going through a change in life, you’ve found the right place! I’ve always been drawn to work that allows me to connect deeply with people, understand their experiences, and help them move toward the life they want. One of my favorite aspects about being a therapist is getting to sit with curiosity everyday while learning with my clients.
I often find myself supporting clients with: Navigating dating and understanding relationship patterns, starting and re-starting a career, exploring the idea of parenthood, improving communication with loved ones, managing the stress and burnout experienced with healthcare professionals, the complexities of having a chronic illness, and the processing of grief and loss.
FOUR DECADES/FIVE LIVES:
My first clinical life, I provided in home behavior management training to families with children with developmental disorders.
Secondly, I provided individual and group therapy for neglected/abused teenagers in residential care.
Thirdly, I provided therapy to clients, in a community based practice.
Number four involved working as a therapist for the Aspergers Department of a CMHC.

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.
