Psychologist | CEO & Founder of Wellness Counseling | Business Coach for Therapists | Podcast Host

For over 20 years, I’ve sat across from people navigating the toughest seasons of their lives—and I’ve also sat in the CEO seat, building a thriving group practice from the ground up. I’m a psychologist, licensed professional counselor, business owner, mentor, and human first. My mission is to help people feel more connected—to themselves, to their families, and to their work.

I founded Wellness Counseling, a multi-location group practice in New Jersey, to offer high-quality, emotionally attuned mental health services for children, adults, couples, and families. Our practice is rooted in compassion, clinical excellence, and the belief that emotional wellness is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Alongside running a large team of therapists, I also coach fellow therapists and practice owners through the messy, meaningful work of growing a business with purpose. Whether you’re hiring your first clinician or leading a multi-site practice, I help you move from burnout to balance, and from scattered to strategic.

You can also find me on my podcast, Off the Chair, where I talk honestly about the realities of private practice—the stuff no one tells you in grad school.

Whether you’re here looking for therapy, business support, or just a little inspiration: welcome. I believe the work we do in and out of the therapy room can ripple outward—and change everything.

Absolutely in love with the Wellness Counseling Group in Ramsey!! Dr. Jen helped my children with a transition for divorce and middle school to high school! Don’t hesitate to help your little angels if you’ve been thinking about it. Dr. Jen provided us with the compassion and gentleness I prayed for!

Ali Whitney is everything you would want out of a therapist - she listens, validates your thoughts/experiences, and creates a safe space. She truly wants the best for you and will give you all the tools and resources you need to leave with meaningful, positive results. If you have the opportunity to make an appointment with her- do it! You will not regret it 🙂

Jen Cruz who answers the phone is so nice and helpful. Ms. Cruz explained my insurance information and took the time to call me back. I called so many therapists/therapy offices and kept leaving messages and never heard back! I was so appreciative she answered the phone! I graduated college and needed to talk to someone. So happy I found them. I already told two of my friends.

Dr. Politis is such an amazing psychologist! She has helped my daughter so much with her depression. In a year’s time my daughter is back to herself again. I can’t recommend her and her practice, Wellness Counseling of Bergen County more!!

Dr. Jennifer Politis has been my family therapist for the last 8 years. She has worked with me, my husband and my two children. We are a more connected family because of her. Over the years we have worked on communicating better and helping with our divorce. I can’t thank her enough and I am so thankful she is still in our lives.
