Helping Modern Mothers Thrive.
Therapy for Moms at Every Stage of Life.
Motherhood doesn't come with an expiration date on struggle. Whether you're newly postpartum or years into raising kids, and whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or mom rage, you deserve support that goes deeper than self-care.
Being a parent today is hard…
You're exhausted before the day even starts. Your mind won't quiet down, you snap and then feel guilty, and somewhere along the way you stopped recognizing yourself. Nobody warned you it would feel like this. You're not failing. You're overwhelmed, and you deserve real support.
Moms in Jersey City and across New Jersey, New York, and Florida come to Heights Psychotherapy dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety, mom rage, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma, or the relentless pressure of carrying it all. Some are newly postpartum. Some are years in. Some are neurodivergent (ADHD or autistic) parenting in a world that wasn't designed for their nervous system.
Whatever you're carrying, this isn't about willpower or trying harder. It's about therapy that goes beneath the surface and understands at the root how you feel so things can actually change.
Heights Psychotherapy offers in-person therapy in Jersey City, NJ and telehealth therapy for moms throughout New Jersey, New York, and Florida.
Hi, I’m Stephanie.
I’m a mom and I believe in the power of asking for help.
As a licensed therapist—and a mom—I really get how heavy modern motherhood can feel. The pressure to be everything for everyone? It’s real. That kind of stress and exhaustion doesn’t just come out of nowhere. It's rooted in your story, your relationships, and the unrealistic expectations moms carry every day.
In our work together, I look at the bigger picture. We’ll make sense of how your past, culture, identity, and current life all intersect, and how they might be showing up in things like postpartum depression, anxiety, disconnection from your partner, or feeling like you’re constantly running on empty.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you…because you’re not broken. It’s about finding your center again, reconnecting with yourself, and building the support you deserve so you can feel more present, grounded, and you again.
Are you ready to experience the remarkable shift that therapy can bring you?
Calmer by the end of the day
More present with your kids
Less ruled by worry or exhaustion
More confident in your choices
Connected to yourself (not just everyone else)
If you're nodding along, you're in the right place. Let’s get you the help you deserve. 💛
My therapeutic specialties include:
-
Whether you're postpartum or years into motherhood, depression, anxiety, OCD, mom rage, and trauma don't just go away on their own. More than 1 in 5 moms experience depression and anxiety during pregnancy or postpartum and for many, those feelings quietly persist for years without the right support. At Heights Psychotherapy, I work with moms in Jersey City and throughout New Jersey, New York, and Florida to get to the root of what you’re feeling so things can actually change.
-
When your child is anxious, every day can feel like a battle where you’re walking on eggshells, rearranging your life to avoid meltdowns, and constantly questioning if you're doing the right thing. SPACE is an evidence-based treatment that helps parents of anxious children and teens reduce anxiety-driven behaviors while reclaiming calm, confident, and connected at home. Available in person in Jersey City and via telehealth across New Jersey, New York, and Florida.
-
When your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, or behaviors you can't quite explain it affects the whole family. You want to help but you're not always sure how, and watching them suffer is its own kind of pain.
I work with children, teens, and young adults in person at my Jersey City, NJ office, treating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and ADHD with approaches tailored to how young people think, feel, and communicate. That might mean working one-on-one with your child or teen, involving you closely as a parent, or a combination of both — whatever serves them best.
Parents aren't on the sidelines here. Your understanding of what's happening at home, and your own response to your child's struggles, is part of the work. Together we'll figure out what your child needs — and make sure you feel supported in that process too.
-
Sometimes taking care of yourself means taking care of your relationship. I work with couples in Jersey City and across NJ and NY to rebuild connection and communication without shutting down or blowing up. You don't have to stay stuck in the same fight. Let's get you showing up for each other again.
-
Navigating the immigration system is stressful, frightening, and deeply personal. I provide comprehensive mental health evaluations for hardship waivers, asylum cases, VAWA, and U-Visas. I ensure your evaluation accurately reflects your experiences while meeting the legal standards your case requires. You'll be treated with care and dignity throughout the entire process. Provided virtually throughout NJ, NY, and FL.
