Anxiety and Depression Therapists in Wyckoff, NJ
Virtual therapy available throughout New York and New Jersey
Our team
Welcome to Ola Wellness!
We provide virtual therapy for teens, adults, couples, and families throughout New Jersey and New York. Our practice specializes in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, emotional overwhelm, attachment concerns, and life transitions.
We understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’ve been carrying difficult emotions, relationship stress, or overwhelming thoughts for a long time. Our goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable showing up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.
We incorporate evidence-based techniques while also recognizing that meaningful therapy is built through trust, authenticity, and feeling genuinely understood.
At Ola Wellness, we believe healing is not about becoming a completely different person. It’s about learning how to better understand yourself, develop healthier coping patterns, strengthen relationships, and move through life with more confidence and emotional balance.
Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, burnout, communication struggles, self-esteem challenges, or navigating a major life transition, we are here to support your growth at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
Meet your therapists
Katie Dublirer Perez, MSW, LCSW, SAC
Co-Founder and Therapist
You may be successful in many areas of your life and still struggle with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or feeling like you're never doing enough. Katie works with teens and adults navigating emotional overwhelm, confidence, relationship and family challenges, career stress, and major life transitions. She understands how difficult it can be to balance everyone else's expectations with your own needs, especially when you're used to being the person who holds everything together.
Areas of focus: Anxiety, depression, confidence and self-esteem, relationships, career challenges, family concerns, and life transitions.
Edlira Gora, MSW, LCSW
Co-Founder and Therapist
Life can feel especially complicated when you're balancing personal struggles with family expectations, cultural traditions, or the feeling that you don't quite fit into one world or another. Edlira supports individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. As a bilingual Albanian-speaking therapist, she brings an appreciation for the ways culture, family roles, and personal experiences shape how we understand ourselves and ask for support.
Areas of focus: Anxiety, depression, grief, cultural and family challenges, relationships, and life transitions.
The right fit matters
Choosing a therapist is personal. You may know exactly what you want help with, or you may simply know that something feels off. Maybe you are overwhelmed by responsibilities, struggling with anxiety that follows you everywhere, or having trouble finding motivation for things that once felt easy.
You don't need to have the perfect words to explain what is happening.
Katie and Edlira bring different experiences and areas of focus to Ola Wellness. Learning more about each therapist can help you decide whose approach feels right for you. If you're unsure, a brief consultation can help you talk through what you're looking for and determine which therapist may be a better fit.
Ola Wellness is based in Wyckoff, NJ, and provides virtual therapy to clients located throughout New Jersey and New York, including eligible clients in New York City and Long Island.
Therapy that makes sense for your everyday life
We believe therapy should connect to what you are actually experiencing outside of your sessions. That might mean learning how to interrupt a cycle of overthinking, communicating more effectively with someone you love, setting boundaries without feeling guilty, or understanding why you feel anxious even when things seem to be going well.
Our therapists draw on evidence-based approaches and tailor sessions to your needs, goals, and experiences. The process is collaborative, meaning we work with you to identify patterns, explore what's keeping you stuck, and develop practical ways to respond differently.
You don't need to wait until anxiety, depression, or stress becomes unmanageable to seek help. Therapy can be a place to understand yourself better, make meaningful changes, and create a life that feels more balanced.
