Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


My practice exists to support shy, sensitive, often high-achieving young adults who feel stuck in their heads, overthinking, comparing themselves, and quietly spiraling behind the scenes. Maybe dating feels impossible, food feels complicated, or you’re trying to do everything “right” and still feel like it’s not enough.

I provide therapy for clients navigating anxiety, disordered eating, body image issues, and identity struggles. I have experience working in private practice, on a college campus, and in partial care/IOP settings, and I now focus on supporting young adults, especially those further along in eating disorder recovery or dealing with quieter struggles that no one else really sees. You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support.

Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and affirming. We'll work together to untangle the patterns that keep you stuck, build self-trust, and help you start showing up in your life like the main character you are , without shame, pressure, or therapist voice.

Jesse Coudray

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I started my journey in social work nearly 20 years ago, after serving in the military and utilizing my GI Bill to fund my education. My career has taken me through some incredibly challenging environments: from jails to supporting homeless families, and working closely with individuals battling addiction or navigating severe mental health crises.

Through every experience, I've consistently witnessed something profound: the unwavering hope, incredible resilience, and fierce dedication people possess to fight for and reclaim the lives they envision. This deep understanding of human strength, even in the most difficult circumstances, is what I bring to every session.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I'm Julie Mendizabal, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I'm bilingual and offer therapy in both English and Spanish (ofrezco terapia en español).

I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, or a life transition that's left you unsteady, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what's happening and find lasting change. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying so much — so if you're feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply know that something needs to change, you're not alone, and you don't have to face it on your own.

Hello, I am glad you are here. Taking the first step towards your mental health is a big step, and I want you to know that you will be welcome with kindness, understanding, and zero judgment.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a unique background. Before becoming a provider, I spent 9 years as a registered nurse working closely with people experiencing mental health challenges. That experience taught me the importance of listening, understanding each person’s story, and treating the whole person not just the diagnosis. I earned my degree from Walden University and provide care for adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and involved in your care.
