I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to help you challenge unhelpful thoughts, set meaningful goals, and take real steps toward feeling better. I especially enjoy working with people who are motivated for change and open to challenging the beliefs and patterns that are holding them back. My goal is for you to leave each session with something concrete you can use Most of my work has been in the health care setting where I worked supporting people who faced chronic illness. I have also worked with families in a family health clinic. Additionally, I have provided and coordinated mental health treatment in a primary care setting providing problem solving treatment to improve patients’ symptoms and level of functioning. I have also provided support to employees in corporate settings in my role as employee assistance program consultant.

Hi, I'm Anny. I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) Dominican-American therapist who is passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges while feeling a little less alone in the process. I know reaching out for therapy isn't always easy, which is why I focus on creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship stress, family challenges, or a major life transition, I'm here to help you gain insight, build confidence, and move toward the version of yourself you want to become.

I’m a therapist with 18 years of experience walking alongside people as they navigate life’s challenges, transitions, and moments of growth. I believe healing happens best in a space that feels safe, genuine, and deeply human, where you are met with compassion and respect exactly as you are. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the understanding that each person’s story is unique. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through anxiety, relationships, trauma, and personal change, and I remain continually inspired by people’s resilience and capacity for healing.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years experience working in the mental health field with children, teens, and adolescents. I have spent many years supporting young people as they navigate emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. For the past seven years, I have also worked as an elementary school counselor, where I provide social-emotional support and collaborate closely with families and educators. I am here to create a space where you can feel truly seen and heard. I believe everyone deserves a safe environment to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. My approach centers around meeting you where you are, validating your unique journey, and supporting you through personal growth.

I’m an LCSW who works with teens and adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or simply need someone in their corner. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, past experiences that still affect you, relationship or family challenges, low self-esteem, major life changes, or just the stress that comes with trying to keep everything together. My style is warm, laid-back, and real. I do not believe therapy has to feel overly formal or clinical to be meaningful. I want sessions to feel like a space where you can show up exactly as you are... even if you do not know what to talk about that day, have no idea where to start, or need some time before you feel comfortable opening up. I use humor when it fits, ask questions that help you look at things differently, and will gently challenge you when I think it could help. I also understand that there isn’t one approach that works for everyone. I pull from different therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to your personality, needs, goals, and where you are in life. Some sessions may involve learning practical coping skills or working toward a specific goal, while others may simply be about slowing down and making sense of what you’re feeling. Most importantly, I want you to feel like therapy is something we’re doing together, not something being done to you. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is to support you, offer a different perspective, help you recognize patterns, celebrate your progress, and give you tools to navigate the hard stuff.

I am passionate about helping individuals deepen their self-awareness, overcome limiting patterns, and create a more meaningful and fulfilling life. With extensive experience in counseling, private practice ownership, clinical supervision, and counselor training, I bring a holistic, person-centered, and creative approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves. Together, we will explore your experiences, emotions, relationships, and patterns to uncover new perspectives and opportunities for growth. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space grounded in trust, respect, and open communication, where therapy feels like a natural conversation. My goal is to help you reconnect with yourself, discover your potential, and develop the awareness and tools to create lasting, meaningful change. I look forward to being part of your journey toward greater well-being and happiness.

I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, individual, couples, family and group therapy.

He works to tailor your therapeutic experience to match your subjective needs providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other therapy models with a holistic approach by recommending integrative complementary and alternative therapies – which have been shown to improve cognition and mind-body connection. *I do not see couples.*

I’m Alex, a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people understand their patterns, deepen their relationships, and reconnect with themselves.

She has experience working in an inpatient psychiatric unit, a school based youth services program, county corrections in the mental health department, and specialized therapeutic foster care in addition to outpatient therapy. She has experience with trauma and sexually problematic behavior in addition to treating mental health concerns.

I believe good therapy should be both meaningful and practical. I draw from cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic approaches, but I don't believe therapy should feel like a one-size-fits-all formula. And yes, I believe there is room for humor in therapy. Logic, compassion, curiosity, and a healthy dose of humor are some of the tools I bring.

Anxiety doesn't always look like worry on the surface. Sometimes it's a short temper at home, a relationship that feels tenser than close, or a mind that won't slow down even when the day is done. I'm Janna, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey, working with adults and couples carrying more than they say out loud. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, or PTSD, or a quiet disconnect between partners, I bring a calm, structured presence to our sessions. My goal early on is simple: help you feel steady enough to think clearly again, whether you're in the room alone or beside someone you love.

Welcome! I'm Deborah Strouse, LCSW, a therapist licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with nearly two decades of clinical experience. I graduated from Temple University with my master's degree in 2007 and hold a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) Credential in PA . My personality is warm, authentic, and collaborative. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is a real bond and the ultimate key to your success in therapy. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, I draw from both my professional training and my own rich life experiences-- from the discipline of practicing karate to the groundbreaking peace of nature foraging, kayaking, and hiking-- to provide a safe, affirming virtual sanctuary for my clients. In my work, I blend mindfulness-based therapeutic approaches, leaning heavily on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing. This means our sessions will combine deep, compassionate listening with the development of tangible, real-world emotional regulation skills. My ideal clients are resilient individuals navigating the complex, often overwhelming waters of major life transitions, profound stress, and identity exploration. Many belong to underserved populations or the queer community and are seeking a non-judgmental space to process change. Whether you are enduring the raw weight of a divorce, facing sudden career shifts, or working through deep-seated anxiety, I know how freezing and terrifying these moments can feel. You do not have to cut through the noise alone. Together, we will work at your pace to dismantle shame, reclaim your inner strength, and build a lasting, balanced foundation of stability, purpose, and radical self-love. Let's take that next step together.

I graduated from Rutgers University in 2015 and since then, I have worked in various clinical settings, including corporate, government and private practice. I am also clinical supervisor, offering my experience to new clinicians when needed. I enjoy working with adolescents 14 years and older to adults of all ages, including seniors. My specialty is Borderline Personality Disorder; I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am passionate about helping individuals develop a "life worth living" as quoted by Marsha Linehan. I enjoy working with complex individuals who often experience difficulty with strong emotions, self-harm and relationship and identity problems. Highly Sensitive People are often misunderstood, resulting in emotional pain. I am also trained in Trauma Focused -CBT and other treatment modalities. I have been successful in helping individuals overcome phobias, panic attacks, social anxiety, trauma and self-injury. I have extensive experience treating various individuals struggling with general Anxiety/Depression, ADHD and various co-occurring/mood and personality disorders. I believe in collaboration with clients, not directives. My style is genuine and empathetic while being solution-focused. Perhaps you are struggling with serious mental health challenges or, you may simply want to learn how to improve your life, or maybe you feel stuck and aren't quite sure what you need or what you are feeling. Regardless, we can figure it out together. I offer a free phone consultation to help determine comfortability, goodness of fit and to answer any questions, etc. before booking. **Please note: I am licensed to practice in the state of New Jersey. I only provide teletherapy to individuals 14 years and older. If you need a time and don't see it, please message me. I'll do my best to accommodate you.**

Hi, I'm Assal. I've been a therapist for 13 years, helping young adults and adults navigate life transitions, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, and the stress that comes with balancing life's many demands. Many of my clients come to therapy during periods of change or uncertainty. They may be starting college, launching a career, navigating dating and relationships, working through unhealthy relationship patterns, adjusting to parenthood, caring for family members, or questioning what they want from the next chapter of life. Others feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and are looking to regain a sense of confidence, direction, and purpose. My goal is to provide a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking openly about what's really going on. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, while building on your strengths and helping you move toward the life you want.

Welcome! I'm passionate about helping others find healing and wholeness. My desire is to help you know and understand yourself deeply, find healing from the past, and move from a place of "stuckness" to living a rich and meaningful life. I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, and poor self-image. I have extensive experience treating complex trauma and substance abuse, and as a Certified DBT Therapist, I specialize in treating Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm also a Certified Religious Trauma Specialist. I believe that one of the most underrated experiences is loss, including the end of significant relationships. I can help you navigate the grief, find meaning in the loss, and build hope moving forward. I believe that change best happens when we learn to accept where we are while simultaneously challenging ourselves to do better. My desire is to accept you wholly as you are, without judgement.

Hi, I am Georgia and I am of Caribbean heritage. I initally began my career in technical problem-solving in the fields of Environmental Science and Engineering, but my deeper calling was always in helping people navigate their own challenges. While working as an engineer, I served my church community as a lay counselor and intercessor, which sparked a growing passion for more meaningful, people-centered work. That calling led me to pursue a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I haven’t looked back since. Today, I serve as both a private practice clinician and a workplace mental health consultant and trainer. This work allows me to blend my analytical skills with a deep commitment to emotional wellbeing—and I truly feel I’ve found my purpose.

I am a Licensed Professional Therapist specializing in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults as an advocate and educator. I earned my M.S. in Clinical Counseling from Villanova University and B.A. in Psychology from Rutgers University. My goal is to meet clients where they are emotionally/mentally/spiritually and help them reach the highest potential of themself through collaboration. My techniques are designed to teach clients how to gain a better understanding of themselves to persevere with peace and confidence in their lives. You will notice my positivity and patience at first, then my passion in practice.

You hold it together for everyone — at work, at home, in your relationships — but the weight of it is getting harder to carry. Maybe anxiety keeps your mind racing at 2 a.m., or you're stuck in patterns with substances or behaviors that started as coping but now feel like a trap. Maybe grief, trauma, or a painful chapter you thought you'd moved past keeps surfacing when you least expect it. I'm Rovin Chonielall, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Addiction Specialist with 15 years of experience helping adults find their footing when life feels unmanageable. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and recovery, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that builds up when you've been running on autopilot for too long. My approach is direct, holistic, and grounded in what actually works. I draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you build skills for managing intense emotions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge the thought patterns keeping you stuck, and Motivational Interviewing to help you connect with your own reasons for change — especially when motivation feels low. I also incorporate mindfulness and solution-focused techniques, because sustainable growth happens when you learn to be present with yourself, not just push through. What my clients tell me is that therapy with me feels different — honest without being harsh, structured without being rigid. I'm not going to just nod along. I'll meet you where you are, ask the questions that matter, and help you build a life that actually reflects who you want to be. If you're ready to stop going through the motions and start doing the real work, I'd like to help.

I know anxiety and depression. I know how it feels to fall down over and over and believe like you're destined to fall again. I also know firsthand how changing our thinking can help us to overcome even the most daunting challenges. I've helped countless people make significant progress in every aspect of their lives. I utilize established modalities like CBT, ACT and Motivational Interviewing, but I also know the value of listening.

I specialize in addiction, anxiety, and depression treatment. I have spent my career helping people change and sustain that change. It's my job to help you explore what keeps you stuck and how to create momentum to live a life aligned with who you truly are. From starting out as an outreach worker, to spending the last 12+ years working in inpatient and outpatient addiction and mental health treatment, I have built a foundation answering these very questions.

Therapist, MA, LPC and LCADC with a BA in Education and MA in Counseling/Psychology. I have worked in all levels of care in the Mental Health and Addictions fields for the past 20 years (detox, inpatient, residential, PHP, IOP and OP) for hospitals, agencies and non-profits. I am dedicated to supporting individuals throughout their therapeutic experience, fostering awareness and change. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution based therapy. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, trauma, abuse and ADHD. An individualized eclectic approach is taken to help the client define goals and objectives. I offer a therapeutic relationship that is comfortable, warm, and open to discussing all issues. Through support, understanding and active listening we explore life issues together, so clients may have a better ability to enjoy life and feel understood. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.

I am a compassionate and client-centered therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, manage anxiety and stress, strengthen relationships, and build confidence. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. Together, we will work toward greater emotional well-being, healthier coping strategies, and a more fulfilling life.

I believe that healing begins with safety, connection, and understanding. Through a polyvagal-informed approach, I help my clients recognize how their nervous system influences their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Many of the struggles we experience are not signs of weakness, but adaptive responses to stress, overwhelm, and life experiences. Together, we will develop a greater awareness of your nervous system, strengthen your capacity for regulation, and cultivate a deeper sense of resilience and self-trust. My goal is to help you move beyond merely surviving and toward feeling more connected, empowered, and engaged in your life. By creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, I help clients access their innate capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. For the past twenty years, I have worked as a school counselor, helping children develop emotional intelligence, coping skills, and self-awareness. Throughout my career, I have witnessed the profound impact that relationships rooted in safety, connection, and attuned support can have on healing. I have seen how individuals can begin to release emotional pain and trauma held within the body when provided with the right support and interventions. I have also observed how a dysregulated nervous system—often expressed through fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown responses—can contribute to physical symptoms, repeated diagnostic testing, and medical interventions that fail to address the underlying cause. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I am able to expand this work beyond the school setting, helping individuals across the lifespan understand how their unique experiences, relationships, and biology influence both their mental and physical well-being. My passion is empowering clients to reconnect with their strengths, develop greater self-compassion, and create lasting change from the inside out.

I’m a mental health therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I create a warm, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are—no pressure to have it all figured out.

Hello, I’m Xiangru (Ruby) Meng, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with dual licensure in both New York and New Jersey. For the past eight years, I've had the privilege of partnering with individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the complex currents of life. My experience has shown me that everyone, at some point, faces challenges that can feel overwhelming, whether it's the persistent hum of anxiety, the weight of depression, the complexities of relationships, or the uncertainty of major life transitions. My role is to walk alongside you through these ups and downs, offering support that is not only professional but also deeply compassionate, down-to-earth, and tailored specifically to you. My therapeutic approach is built on the belief that you are the expert of your own life. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. Beyond my professional work, my personal passions deeply inform my practice. Yoga reminds me of the crucial mind-body connection, while rock climbing has taught me about resilience and how to break down overwhelming challenges into manageable steps. As a knitter and a dog mom, I’m also reminded daily of the value of patience and the healing power of unconditional connection. Whether you are seeking to heal, build healthier relationships, or simply find a clearer path forward, I am here to support you. My goal is to help you navigate your current challenges while equipping you with the insight and tools to build a more resilient and meaningful life. I look forward to the possibility of connecting with you!

I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, understood, and comfortable showing up as themselves. My approach is warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and grounded in authenticity. I strive to create a space where clients can be honest about the parts of themselves they may feel embarrassed, overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck with—without fear of criticism or shame. I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, identity exploration, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that no longer feel helpful or sustainable. Many of my clients are insightful and self-aware but find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or repeating cycles they want to better understand and change. My style blends practical skill-building with deeper emotional exploration. I draw from approaches including CBT, DBT, person-centered, existential, and motivational techniques to help clients increase self-awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, improve communication and boundaries, and better understand the underlying experiences shaping their current struggles. I value humor, honesty, curiosity, and creating a therapeutic relationship that feels human, not overly clinical or rigid. As a queer and affirming therapist, I’m especially passionate about creating a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ clients and anyone who has felt misunderstood, pressured to mask parts of themselves, or uncertain about where they fit. Whether you are looking for insight, coping tools, emotional support, or meaningful change, therapy can be a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

From day one, I create a space where people feel genuinely seen, heard, and safe to be themselves. I combine deep empathy with clinical insight, allowing me to connect with clients on a human level while still providing thoughtful, evidence-based care. I listen carefully—not just to what is said, but to what’s underneath—and I help clients put words to experiences they may have carried alone for a long time.

I’m a millennial therapist who believes therapy can be meaningful and transformative without feeling overly intimidating.

My goal is to create a space that feels comfortable and judgment-free while still helping you challenge patterns that may no longer be serving you.

I'm a therapist who believes good therapy starts with feeling comfortable, not like you're sitting across from someone with a clipboard. I bring warmth, honesty, and a little casualness to our work together. I'm also neurodivergent myself, so I know firsthand what it's like to navigate a brain that works a little differently. That lived experience makes me a better therapist , not just a more empathetic one, but a more real one. I'm the kind of therapist who will laugh with you, be straight with you, and when you're ready, go to the deeper and harder places right alongside you. With experience spanning from early childhood all the way through older adulthood, I've had the privilege of working with people across every stage of life and across a wide range of needs. No matter where you're starting from, my goal is always the same : to meet you where you are and grow with you throughout the process.

When was the last time someone asked you, how are YOU doing? What went well for YOU this week? Has anyone ever said to YOU its your time, I'm listening? I am a fully licensed, board certified, EMDR trained mental health counselor/therapist in the states of PA, NJ and DE with case management experience working in workforce development helping unemployed citizens of Philadelphia. ​Both my education and professional experiences makes me a uniquely qualified as a therapist to support their individual journeys of discovery.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has dedicated my professional life to the advancement of the human species. What do I mean by the advancement of the human species? Well, no one ever taught us how to be mindful of thought patterns; to be aware of our own scars and biases, no one gave us an instruction book when it comes to dealing with our emotional life and the emotional lives of others. Scary, those big feelings can be. Unless, you have a plan. That is where therapy comes in. We work together to develop plans to assure you accomplish the goals you set for yourself.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University School of Social Work and have spent my career working in a variety of areas within mental and behavioral health. Over the years, I have found that my greatest strengths and interests are in working with individuals navigating substance use disorders, trauma, life transitions, and patterns that can leave them feeling stuck. My approach to therapy is focused, practical, and collaborative. I lean strongly toward Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and the choices they make in everyday life. I also recognize that our experiences, relationships, physical well-being, stress, and ability to care for ourselves all influence how we feel and function. I believe therapy should help you take what you learn about yourself and put it into action. Together, we can identify patterns that may no longer be serving you, recognize strengths and strategies that are already working, and develop realistic ways to create meaningful change outside of the therapy session. I place a strong emphasis on self-awareness, personal responsibility, balance, and self-care. I don’t view self-care as another list of things you “should” be doing, but as an important part of building a life that is manageable and sustainable. Whether you are working through trauma, substance use or recovery, a difficult transition, or simply know that something needs to change, my goal is to help you better understand where you are, identify where you want to go, and take manageable steps toward getting there.

I aim to help you build insight, strengthen resilience, and develop tools that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Hello, my name is Laura Savage, and I have had the privilege of working as a Social Worker since 1997.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) practicing in New Jersey. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, mood disorders, and more in both adults and adolescents. I spent nearly a decade working in substance use and dual diagnosis treatment before intentionally expanding my practice and qualifications to work with a broader range of human challenges. That foundation continues to inform my work, help clients go beyond managing symptoms to understand the deeper patterns driving their thoughts,, emotions, and behaviors, so they can create lasting, meaningful change. My approach is integrative and trauma- informed, combining cognitive, somatic, attachment-based, and existential therapies. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) into my work, helping clients understand the different parts of themselves. Mind-body awareness is foundational, born from nearly 20 years of experience teaching yoga and meditation. You don't have to have anything figured out to begin. Therapy can offer a space to explore, understand, and begin to shift those patterns in a way that feels meaningful and lasting.

Therapy can be intimidating, time consuming and even scary however I promise it is the best investment you can ever make in yourself.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, and adults navigating life’s challenges. My goal is to create a supportive and collaborative space where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I have several years of experience working with children and parents, manage behavioral or emotional concerns, and build healthy coping skills. In addition to my therapy work, I also serve as a case manager in a long-term acute care hospital, where I support adults and older adults facing complex medical and life transitions.

I strive to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping strategies, and feel more confident navigating everyday life.

My goal is to provide a safe space for healing. I prioritize my client’s confidentiality and comfort when providing care to meet their needs. In addition, I treat each client as a unique individual with specific issues and needs. After earning my master’s degree from the University of Southern California, I began my counseling career with the Shenandoah Public School. I also worked as a Crisis Intervention Therapist for two years and as a substance abuse therapist for another two years.

As a neurodivergent Black woman living with a chronic illness and mother of three adult children, two of whom identify with the LGBTQ+ commmunity, I am always interested in the deeper question people carry about their lives. Many of the individuals I work with are thoughtful, capable people who have spent years showing up for others, meeting expectations, and doing what seemed like the responsible thing to do. At some point, though, many begin to notice a quiet sense that something no longer fits. My work centers around helping people slow down enough to understand what is actually happening beneath that feeling. Together we look at the patterns, experiences, and internal narratives that shape how you see yourself and the choices available to you. From that place, people often begin to rediscover a clearer sense of who they are and what direction their lives might take moving forward. I am especially drawn to working with adults navigating identity shifts, relationship transitions, and moments in life where the path forward is no longer obvious.

I am Lali Binder, LPC, a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families.

Hi, I’m Gretchen Raring, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW: NJ, FL, AZ & ND; LICSW: MA) with 20+ years of experience in behavioral health. I provide individual and couples therapy, working with teens through older adults and supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. My practice is grounded in the belief that therapy should feel supportive and purposeful. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative, and I see therapy as a team effort. I want you to feel comfortable being honest while supported and challenged toward change. My approach is structured but flexible. We’ll have a sense of direction while making room for what matters most. I use an eclectic approach based on your needs and goals. One of my strengths is being highly attuned and building the trust that allows deeper work. Together, we’ll connect the dots between your experiences, emotions, relationships, thoughts, and behaviors. We’ll identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop practical strategies for everyday life. My background includes work across mental health, addiction, trauma, homelessness, the criminal justice system, and community-based behavioral health. I’ve worked with people during difficult times in their lives. Those experiences shape how I practice and reinforce my belief that there is always more to someone’s story than what you see on the surface. I believe progress is about the direction of our work, not the speed. Change often happens through small steps. I believe in celebrating every win because those wins build confidence and momentum. Above all, whether we’re working together individually or as a couple, I want therapy to be a place for honest conversations, deeper understanding, practical tools, and meaningful change—at a pace that works for you. Self-Pay Rates: Individual therapy is $105 per session, and couples therapy is $130 per session.

I am a therapist dedicated to empowering clients to reclaim their path toward their most desired future. My work is fundamentally solution-focused, meaning we spend less time dissecting problems and more time defining your strengths, identifying immediate wins, and building actionable steps toward your goals. Your capacity for change is immense, and my role is to help you see it clearly. My approach is collaborative and strategically integrated. I draw heavily on Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you resolve ambivalence and articulate your own, intrinsic reasons for change. This partnership focuses on eliciting "Change Talk" and moving from passive hope to decisive action. When building specific skills, I utilize CBT techniques, ensuring you leave each session with measurable, practical tools to manage your mood and navigate daily challenges effectively. For clients healing from deeper wounds, my expertise in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Grief Therapy ensures we address the past, but always through the lens of liberation. We process how trauma or loss has changed your worldview—identifying "stuck points"—not to dwell, but to remove cognitive barriers that block your future progress. I weave in Existential principles to anchor your goals in profound personal meaning. We ensure the future you are building is authentic and aligned with your deepest values, giving you the courage to take ownership of your choices. If you are ready to stop focusing on what is broken and start defining your best self, I offer a focused, empowering journey toward reclaiming your life.

I take the time to get to know my clients and have many clients who have been with me for years. That doesn't mean someone will see me every week for the rest of their life. It means client know I am available when they have need. I do have clients who have seen me weekly for years not because they are dependent on me but because they have found benefit in processing their life regularly. I have had a successful personal practice for years and can offer clients the space and reverence to unpack the most unpleasant things to reorder them in a way they no longer can cause harm as they once did. There is no perfect childhood and it is likely families do the best they can and it may not have filled the needs of their child. I am happy to take as much time as needed to work through the problem as you understand it.

Have you ever felt that your past or present are holding you back from experiencing happiness? If you answered "Yes" to this question, I am here to tell you that the feeling of happiness is still within you and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am just here to help you find those tools and remove all the clutter. I am here to help you face the difficult challenges that life is throwing at you and face them with confidence and better understanding of what you can do to live your life the way you want to.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with 16+ years of experience supporting individuals of all ages across outpatient, in-home, crisis, and hospital settings. I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where individuals feel comfortable being themselves, expressing their thoughts and feelings, and working toward the life they desire. My laid-back, calming approach allows us to build a supportive environment that encourages healing, growth, and forward progress.

You may be in a season of life where you find yourself thinking, "I don't know who I am anymore," "I don't know what I need," or simply, "I don't know what comes next." Maybe your relationships feel harder than they used to, you're struggling to feel motivated or fulfilled, or you've spent so much time caring for everyone else that you've lost touch with yourself along the way. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with individuals navigating relationship challenges, identity shifts, life transitions, anxiety, and those "I don't know" seasons where you know something needs to change but aren't quite sure where to begin. Together, we can explore the patterns that are keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships and communication, reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost along the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more like your own. I have a particular passion for supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood, a season that can bring immense love, alongside unexpected challenges, overwhelming emotions, and shifts in identity. I support women navigating traumatic births, adjusting to NICU experiences, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, and intrusive thoughts. When I’m not in session, I’m usually spending time with my two children and enjoying the everyday moments of family life. I love baking, trying new recipes, getting outside, and finding time to slow down and recharge.

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist who works with clients of all ages and stages of life. I believe therapy should be individualized because no two people, experiences, or goals are the same. My approach is person-centered, supportive, and collaborative, meeting you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be. I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we will identify your goals, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical skills, and work toward meaningful change. I am empathetic and encouraging, while also providing guidance and accountability when needed. My training includes CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, somatic approaches, allowing me to tailor therapy to your individual needs. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, build resilience, and work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

I am Dr. Andre. I hold a bachelor's degree in theology, a master's degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling/Marriage & Family Therapy, and a Ph.D. in Marriage and Family Therapy. Looking back on my previous experiences of priestly ministry, crisis prevention, community mental health services, private practice, Part-Time faculty, therapeutic skills in various systemic approaches, and Corrections, I am well equipped to journey with you and assist you in making positive changes as designed. As a professor, I teach multiple approaches, including solution-focused theory, cognitive behavior therapy, narrative therapy, and systemic approaches. I employ the intervention based on the client's needs, strengths, and stages.
