LCSW, 13 years of experience
Juan is a licensed mental health professional and certified sex therapist authorized to practice in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida, bringing over 13 years of dedicated experience in the field. Throughout his career, he has mentored numerous therapists, guiding them toward achieving independent and clinical licensure. He has also shared his expertise as a lecturer on psychopathology at Rutgers University. Certified as an addictions counselor and a sex therapist, Juan is equipped to address a wide range of mental health concerns. While he is capable of working with clients of all ages, he particularly prefers working with adult individuals and couples, both in individual and partnership therapy settings.
In the initial session, Juan will carry out a comprehensive assessment presented in a relaxed, conversational manner rather than a formal hospital intake. This approach allows him to better grasp where you may require assistance and to ensure that his support aligns perfectly with your needs. Once the assessment is complete, he will develop treatment goals with the client so ensure both are on the same page. Juan request that clients please choose a date and time that you will be able to commit to consistently.
Many clients describe Juan as someone they feel they can talk to like a trusted, supportive, and non-judgmental friend who truly understands. His primary aim is to help clients achieve meaningful results and ultimately empower them to graduate from therapy. Juan firmly believes that an effective therapist's role is to teach clients how to become their own therapists, fostering independence so they no longer need ongoing professional support throughout their lives.
His expertise lies in assisting clients dealing with relationship/marital conflicts, anger management issues, male sex/porn addiction (both heterosexual and homosexual), open relationships, teaching conflict resolution and effective communication skills, navigating difficult family members, depression and anxiety. He firmly believes that you are the author of your own life story and possess unique strengths that can help you overcome any obstacles you may face.
Certified and used as needed, primarily for depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues.
Trained and used for severe trauma, especially when other methods are not effective
I am a certified professional specializing in guiding clients through the transition from monogamy to open or ethically non-monogamous relationships. I also support individuals navigating challenges related to sex or pornography addiction, as well as those seeking to explore new aspects of their sexuality. My practice is inclusive, welcoming both heterosexual and LGBTQ+ individuals. My work centers on helping clients uncover their authentic desires, release feelings of shame or guilt, and express their true selves with confidence. Whether reigniting passion in long-term partnerships or fostering personal growth, I create a safe, respectful space where individuals and couples can explore their needs, deepen connection, and approach self-discovery with curiosity and compassion.
I actively engage in conversations and offer support or feedback whenever necessary. My focus is on collaborating with clients to achieve tangible and meaningful outcomes.

I felt heard, understood, and not judged. Within a few questions, it felt like Juan really understood my situation and he had a plan for moving forward.
