I specialize in perinatal and postpartum therapy, helping women navigate postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety,birth trauma, fertility challenges, and the emotional changes that come with early motherhood. Sessions are virtual across New Jersey, so you can receive support without leaving home.

You can book a free consultation directly at empoweredcounselingnj.com/contact. We’ll talk about what you’re experiencing and decide if postpartum therapy or the Empowered Moms Community is the best fit for your needs.

You can also reach out via email at Danielle@empoweredcounselingnj.comor phone: 862-701-2026.

I focus exclusively on maternal mental health and have advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). As both a licensed therapist (LCSW, PMH-C) and a mom, I blend clinical expertise with real-life understanding - offering therapy that feels safe, validating, and effective.

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, but if sadness, worry, or irritability are affecting your ability to function or enjoy life, it’s time to reach out. You don’t need a diagnosis to start therapy - if you’re asking the question, that’s reason enough to get support.

Healing looks different for everyone. Some moms feel relief after a few months, while others choose ongoing support throughout their first year postpartum. Together, we’ll track your progress and adjust as needed.

As of February 2026, Empowered Counseling accepts Aetna insurance.

If you do not have Aetna, Empowered Counseling is an out-of-network provider, which means you pay per session and can submit for partial reimbursement through your insurance.

To make this easier, I partner with Thrizer- a secure payment platform that files and tracks your out-of-network claims for you. Instead of waiting for reimbursement, you only pay your portion up front and Thrizer handles the rest directly with your insurance company.

All clients also receive a monthly superbill for their records.

(you can check you benefits directly on my website below or HERE.

Therapy is an investment in your wellbeing and I believe transparency matters.

• Initial intake session (60 minutes): $275

• Ongoing therapy sessions (50 minutes): $225

This rate reflects specialized training in perinatal and postpartum mental health (PMH-C certification) and over a decade of clinical experience supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, and early motherhood.

Payment is due at the time of service. Empowered Counseling is an out-of-network provider, and many clients receive partial reimbursement through their insurance using Thrizer - a platform that automatically submits and tracks out-of-network claims for you.

For clients interested in EMDR therapy, I also offer EMDR intensives at a different rate. You can view those details here → EMDR therapy & Intensives

A limited number of reduced-fee spots are available for moms navigating financial hardship. Please reach out to discuss current availability.

The Empowered Moms Community complements therapy by offering connection and peer support for moms navigating postpartum depression, anxiety, or high-functioning stress. You’ll gain tools, connection, and encouragement between therapy sessions.

Perinatal mental health refers to emotional wellness during pregnancy and the first year postpartum. It includes postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, OCD, mood changes,and identity shifts known as matrescence. Getting support early can prevent symptoms from worsening and help you enjoy motherhood more fully.

Postpartum depression is more than the “baby blues.” It’s a mood disorder that can appear any time in the first year after birth, causing sadness, guilt, or disconnection from your baby. With the right postpartum depression therapy, you can heal, find balance, and feel like yourself again.

Postpartum anxiety often shows up as racing thoughts, irritability, restlessness, or intrusive worries about your baby’s safety. It can make it hard to sleep, relax, or feel present. Through therapy for postpartum anxiety, you’ll learn practical grounding tools and ways to calm your nervous system.

Yes. All sessions are held virtually for clients in New Jersey, making therapy more accessible for new moms. Many clients find that online therapy helps them stay consistent with sessions while juggling feeding schedules, naps, and daily life.
