Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have over 10 years of experience supporting clients experiencing mild to severe anxiety and fear-based struggles. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with deeper emotional exploration to help clients better understand and manage their anxiety in both the short and long term.
I often integrate CBT-based tools to help clients identify anxious thought patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and develop more realistic and balanced ways of responding to stress. Alongside this, I incorporate somatic and mindfulness-based practices to help clients become more aware of how anxiety shows up in the body and learn ways to regulate and ground themselves in the present moment.
While practical tools are an important part of treatment, I also believe it’s essential to understand where anxiety comes from. Together, we explore past experiences, relationships, and learned patterns that may have shaped how anxiety developed over time. This combination of insight and skill-building allows clients not only to manage symptoms in the moment, but also to address the deeper roots of their anxiety.
Clients can expect a supportive, collaborative process that balances warmth, structure, and real-world strategies they can apply outside of session to feel more grounded, confident, and in control of their anxiety.

Anxiety
Deborah Ejiofor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Treating anxiety in therapy usually involves different methods to help people manage their symptoms. One common approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and change negative thoughts that cause anxiety. CBT also teaches coping strategies and relaxation techniques. Other therapies, like mindfulness, focus on staying present and managing anxiety through deep breathing and awareness. Therapy provides a safe space to understand the causes of anxiety and learn skills to manage stress and fear for better long-term emotional health.

Lionel Latouche - Kairos Psychotherapy & Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In working with clients who are struggling with anxiety, we first seek to identify the triggers or stimuli that cause anxious feelings or behaviors to arise. By identifying these triggers, we work toward uncovering the thoughts or experiences that lead to the anxious feelings. Through psychological reframing, intentional and gradual exposure to stimuli, and consistent implementation of positive coping skills, we can gradually lower the alarms and physical effects in our bodies, leading to more favorable outcomes when dealing with future triggers.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Fear and anxiety don’t have to control your life. I help clients untangle the underlying emotions beneath their worries, allowing them to move from feeling stuck to feeling more grounded and confident. Instead of battling anxiety, we’ll work together to understand its messages, regulate your nervous system, and cultivate a sense of safety and self-trust.

Newark is one of the most economically and culturally complex cities in the northeastern United States — a majority Black and Latino city with deep roots in jazz, civil rights history, and a long experience of disinvestment — and its therapy community frequently addresses the intersection of systemic inequity, racial trauma, and the psychological effects of urban poverty. The city has a significant Portuguese and Brazilian community alongside long-established African American and Puerto Rican populations, and multilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve critical access roles in a city where language and cultural barriers remain significant. Rutgers New Jersey Medical School provides institutional training and resources, while University Hospital Newark anchors the city's clinical mental health infrastructure. Newark's proximity to New York City means some residents also access therapy across the Hudson, while a growing independent therapy community has developed within the city itself.
