Jones Simon is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized, and evidence-based mental health care for adolescents, adults, and older adults.

My approach to therapy is straight forward, solution focused and empathetic. I understand that life can throw you curves and living with change and uncertainty can lead you down an unfamiliar path. 2021 has been a year of change, adjustment, stress and hardship. If you are tired of working on your issues alone, now may be the time to seek out help. In fact, you are making a courageous first step. You may not know what to do to make your life better, you just know that you want things to change and you want to be happier and healthier. I can help you sort out what steps you need to take to identify and address your issues.
I view therapy as an active, engaging and collaborative process. People say that I am not like other therapists. "He worked hard to see me, hear me, understand my issues and accept me for who I am. He did not sit back and say uh-huh every few minutes. Together we found solutions to long standing problems."
Trusting relationships do matter and from the beginning of the therapy process. I work hard to provide a safe and caring place to talk. I typically spend the first session getting to know who you are, where you want to be, and what is standing in your way of getting unstuck. Call me today and discover if I am the right resource for you.
I am a CSWR with 15 years of clinical experience providing assessment and treatment to individuals, families, youth, and couples, and I have maintained a private practice since 2018.

Welcome- I'm a culturally informed and trauma oriented counselor dedicated to help individual to heal, grow, and reconnect with their authentic selves.
My journey into mental health work began during my years as a Child Protective Specialist in NYC, where I worked closely with children and adults navigating some of life's most painful and complex circumstances.
After receiving my graduate degree, I worked with non-profit organization supporting children and survivors of domestic violence. Today, I serve as a full time outpatient mental health therapist working with clients from diverse background who are seeking healing, clarity, and empowerment.
Each step of my career has been guiding me by a simple truth: that healing is possible when people feel truly seen, heard, understood, supported. My new chapter with Headway marks an exciting step forward- expanding my practice to offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for those ready to begin or continue their healing journey.
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. As a licensed therapist practicing in both California and New York, I believe deeply in the inherent resilience and transformative potential within every individual. I earned my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. Throughout my clinical practice, I have supported clients across all life stages in navigating complex emotional challenges, including trauma, anxiety, and depression, while empowering them to cultivate healthy, fulfilling interpersonal relationships.
I’m Justyna Rzewinski, PhD (c), LCSW, founder of Justice Journey Wellness LLC. I provide trauma-informed, compassionate therapy for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, and the lasting impact of incarceration or systemic trauma.
I've been practicing clinical social work for 46 years — and teaching it for much of that time. That depth of experience shapes everything about how I work: I'm confident, direct, and genuinely excited by the process of helping people change.
My specialty is short-term, goal-oriented therapy. I believe that focused, intentional work — done well — can produce lasting results without requiring a years-long commitment. Sessions are active. There's homework. We practice things in the room and then use real life to reinforce them.
I work with children (age 6+), adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD, PTSD, grief, maternal mental health, and relationship stress. If you're ready to do real work and see real movement, I'd be glad to hear from you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Brooklyn
Searching for addiction therapists in Brooklyn starts with finding someone whose experience matches the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use disorder, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and changes in relationships or daily routines. Look for a therapist who lists experience with addiction recovery, substance use support, or behavioral concerns in their bio. Relevant approaches may include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and coordination with a prescriber when medication management is part of your care team.
Brooklyn has many therapists across neighborhoods, but the right fit depends on more than location. You may want an office near transit, a virtual appointment that fits your schedule, or a therapist with evening availability. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to look for someone who describes a clear, non-judgmental approach and experience with harm reduction frameworks. Before booking, read therapist profiles for details about their style, session structure, specialties, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Brooklyn can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
