Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Jersey


Seeking help can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or simply feeling stuck. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up as you are—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. With advanced training in Clinical Psychology and Psychiatric Nursing from Columbia University and over a decade of experience in behavioral health, I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, and substance use disorders. I take a whole-person approach to care, recognizing that symptoms are influenced by more than a diagnosis alone. I believe the best outcomes happen when treatment feels like a true partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I bring clinical expertise, guidance, and support. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns behind your struggles, identify what's keeping you stuck, and develop a personalized plan that helps you move toward the life you want to live. Whether you are seeking therapy, medication management, or a combination of both, I will work with you to understand what you are experiencing, identify what may be contributing to your symptoms, and develop a treatment approach that fits your needs, goals, and preferences.

Ayana Ainyette

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I'm a Black Latina Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey, and I work primarily with teens and young adults — the years when everything is changing at once and no one really teaches you how to hold it. My background is unusually wide: I've worked in elementary schools, done in-home counseling with families in crisis, supported patients living with chronic kidney disease, counseled Rutgers students who aged out of foster care, and worked inside New Jersey's child protection system. What that means for you is that I've sat with people in almost every setting a young person moves through, and very little is going to slow us down. I see clients across New Jersey via telehealth on weekdays — so therapy fits around school, work, and real life instead of the other way around.

Dr. Jessica Burroughs

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Licensed Mental Health Counselor in NY & NJ. Recently successfully defended my PhD in Counseling and working toward certification in Women’s Mental Health and Reproductive Trauma to expand my expertise and support clients more fully.

I specialize in supporting young adults as they move through this exciting but often challenging stage of life. I work with anxiety, stress, self-esteem, identity, academic pressures, and relationship challenges. While I welcome clients of all genders, I have a special focus on women’s mental health, including self-worth, life transitions, and reproductive concerns.

My mission comes from a family saying: “Wherever you plant her, she will grow.” I believe each person has the potential to grow, no matter where life has placed them. Together, we’ll work to build resilience, self-confidence, and the tools you need to thrive.
