Meet Tova McCall, LCSW, PMH-C
Perinatal, Trauma & Couple's Therapist in Jersey City
Your Mental Health and Wellness Expert
Hello and welcome to The Holistic Bump. I’m Tova McCall, a licensed clinical social worker and certified perinatal mental health specialist based in Jersey City. I provide therapy for individuals and couples navigating perinatal mental health, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.
​
Life often presents unexpected twists and turns, whether you're moving through adolescence, adjusting to adulthood, navigating pregnancy or postpartum, or managing the complexities of relationships and parenthood. My goal is to offer a supportive, empathetic space where you can better understand what you're going through and feel more equipped to move forward. Together, we can work toward greater emotional well-being, resilience, and meaningful, lasting change.
My Approach to Therapy
My work is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I focus on helping you better understand your internal experience, build emotional resilience, and develop practical tools you can use in your daily life.
Evidence-Based and Experiential Work
I integrate modalities such as Gottman Couple's Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR. This allows us to work both on present-day challenges and deeper patterns shaped by past experiences.
A Collaborative and Supportive Space
Therapy with me is active and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and also gently challenged when needed. My goal is not just insight, but meaningful, lasting change.
My Experience and Training
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and am licensed in New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Pennsylvania, and Ontario, Canada. I am a certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C) and have extensive training in trauma-informed care, including a certifiation in EMDR.
​
In addition to my clinical work, I am also a mother of two. This personal experience informs my understanding of the complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, while my professional training ensures that our work together remains grounded, structured, and effective.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of how to move forward. In our work together, we focus on slowing things down, understanding patterns, and building tools that help you feel more grounded and in control.
​
I balance warmth and empathy with directness. I will support you, but I will also help you notice patterns, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and take steps toward meaningful change.

Meet Madeline Salerno, LCSW, Perinatal & Young Adult Therapist in Jersey City
Hello and welcome. I’m Madeline Salerno, a therapist at The Holistic Bump. I work with young adults, women in their 20s and 30s, and new or expecting mothers navigating anxiety, identity, relationships, and major life transitions.
Many of my clients appear to have things together on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns of overthinking, or unsure how to move forward. In our work together, we slow things down and create space to better understand what’s going on beneath the surface.
My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based care. I integrate CBT and DBT with mindfulness and body-based practices, helping you build both insight and practical tools for change.
Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded, clear, and in control of your emotional experience.
