About
I am a clinically experienced Nurse Practitioner with Compassion, Empathy, and Attentive listening Skills in treating and managing clients with various mental illnesses. I understand how mental illness affects clients and will use a holistic therapeutic approach to deliver quality care.
My name is Judith Uwazuruonye, DNP, APN, PMHNP-BC. I bring 22 years of RN experience, including four years as a psychiatric charge nurse and three years as a PMHNP-BC. I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, autism, eating disorders, conduct and oppositional defiant disorders, and adjustment disorders across the lifespan. I have a particular interest in adolescent care — teens navigating identity, stress, anger, and confusion need a provider who understands that stage of life. I provide culturally competent, patient-centered care across inpatient, outpatient, and correctional settings.
I use a holistic therapeutic approach that combines compassionate listening, psychoeducation, medication management, and individualized care plans. I am empathetic, a good listener, and committed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel supported. My goal is to help each client make meaningful progress toward better mental health.
I am an experienced provider offering a holistic therapeutic approach and patient-centered care for the best quality results.

Witnessing the profound effects of untreated mental health on my loved ones' lifestyles deeply motivates me to offer support and help to those in need.
I am Noel Okon, MSN, PMHNP-BC. I began my journey as a psychiatric nurse in 1997, spent over two decades as a bedside nurse across diverse settings, and returned to school to earn my BSN in 2020 and my MSN in 2024, completing my PMHNP-BC certification that May. In February 2025, I transitioned to a psychiatric provider. I specialize in psychiatric evaluations, medication management, crisis intervention, and therapeutic support, with a particular focus on depression and anxiety. I am committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered in their mental health journey.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and patient-centered. I specialize in depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. My focus is on thoughtful medication management while helping clients understand their symptoms and options. Clients can expect to be active partners in their care, with plans adjusted as needed.
Reaching out can feel overwhelming, especially when you have been carrying pain or anxiety for a long time. If you feel exhausted, stuck, or not like yourself, you are not alone. My goal is to meet you where you are with compassion and understanding. Together, we will build a plan that supports your goals. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in , NJ is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
