Depression
Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression can make everyday life feel heavy, draining motivation, joy, and hope for the future. I work with individuals to explore the underlying thoughts, emotions, and patterns contributing to depression while building practical tools for coping and change. Therapy offers a supportive space to reconnect with yourself, restore balance, and move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Depression
Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 10 years of experience working with clients experiencing depression ranging from mild, persistent low mood to more severe and debilitating symptoms. In my work, I focus on helping clients understand the cycles of depression—how they develop, what maintains them, and how we can begin to gently interrupt and shift them over time.
A significant part of this process involves exploring past experiences that may have shaped how a person sees themselves, others, and the world. This can include working through negative or painful experiences, as well as untangling the ways we may have internalized family histories, patterns, or expectations that continue to impact our sense of self today. Together, we work toward creating more space to define who you are outside of these inherited or learned narratives. My goal is to support clients in breaking out of stuck patterns, reconnecting with themselves, and building a more grounded and sustainable sense of hope, meaning, and direction in their lives.

Depression
Deborah Ejiofor
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Treating depression in therapy helps people identify negative thoughts and behaviors that contribute to feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is commonly used to change these thoughts into healthier ones. Therapy also provides a space to explore the causes of depression, like past trauma or stress, and learn coping skills such as mindfulness or relaxation techniques. The goal is to improve emotional well-being, build resilience, and teach practical ways to manage and reduce depression over time.

Depression
Lionel Latouche - Kairos Psychotherapy & Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Depression often arises from events that have occurred in our past. In therapy, we will work to identify the events that have contributed to the feelings of depression. Our goal will not be to 'relive' these events, but rather to process them in a way that creates space for our emotions to exist healthily. Over time, we will develop the necessary coping skills to positively change our thoughts, feelings, and even bodily experiences, with the goal of long-term improvements in mood, outlook, and overall happiness in life.

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.
