Kenji Takeda

Psychologist

Virtual • New Jersey


As a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey, I offer remote individual psychotherapy to adults. My approach is collaborative, and you are an active partner in designing your personal goals. I individualize treatment based on your presenting concerns/needs as well as your unique background and history. Based on my training and experience in a variety of treatment modalities, including CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I use an integrative approach to help you reach your personal goals, which may involve learning skills to manage life’s difficulties and developing greater understanding of yourself.

I have more than 15 years of experience working in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals and schools. As a trained pianist and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist, I also incorporate creative expression in my practice, and my speciality includes issues related to cultural diversity (e.g., LGBTQIA+, Asian American mental health, immigration). As a native of Japan, I am bilingual in Japanese and English, and offer services in both languages.

Jennifer Barber

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Destinay Erbie

Destinay Erbie

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University in 2012 and have developed my clinical experience across a variety of mental health settings, including residential treatment, partial hospitalization, case management, individual and group therapy, care coordination, and crisis intervention. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with individuals facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and life challenges while developing a comprehensive understanding of the many factors that can affect mental and emotional well-being.

I work with adolescents and adults who may be experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, emotional challenges, sexuality exploration, self-esteem concerns, grief and loss, or simply feel like they are struggling to find their way forward. Wherever you are in your journey, therapy can provide an opportunity to slow down, gain clarity, process what you’re experiencing, and begin creating meaningful change.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pittsburgh, NJ


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of nursing experience across behavioral health, trauma, critical care, geriatrics, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have seen how deeply mental health affects every part of a person’s life, their relationships, work, sleep, confidence, physical health, and ability to feel like themselves.

I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for clients navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, mood changes, insomnia, stress, burnout, and life transitions.

My style is warm, empowering, holistic, and solution-oriented. I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. My goal is to help clients feel less stuck, reconnect with themselves, and move toward feeling whole again. Together, we will look beyond symptoms and explore the life experiences, stressors, sleep patterns, medical concerns, relationships, and personal goals that may be affecting your mental health.

I want clients to leave care feeling informed, hopeful, and equipped with a plan that helps them optimize what matters most and build a life they can truly enjoy.

Accepting new clients!

Therapy isn't about perfection - it’s about showing up as you are, wherever you are. Whether you’re navigating grief, postpartum changes, or the weight of life’s stress, I offer a safe and compassionate space where you can feel supported, heard, and ready to move from survival mode toward healing.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re used to caring for everyone else first. I see that kind of devotion as a quiet strength, and my goal is to help you begin caring for yourself too—even if it feels unfamiliar.

I have over 10 years experience in private practice and in home therapy, truly getting to know my clients, their families, and home lives with focus in anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, and stress management.

Know that I bring over 7 years of experience and a genuinely holistic, open-minded approach to every session. Expect a therapist who leads with empathy rather than clinical distance. I've spent my career working with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions of identity, and I understand that those experiences are often shaped by culture, race, gender, and community in ways textbooks rarely capture. Trust that you can bring your full self here, including the parts of your story that feel complicated or hard to name.
