I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years of experience helping adults, teens, and families navigate some of life's most difficult moments — including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. My background spans a wide range of settings and presenting concerns, and over the years I've also worked as a licensed clinical supervisor, mentoring newer clinicians as they build their own practices. I practice virtually, so you can access care from wherever you're most comfortable. Whether you've been in therapy before or are just starting out, you'll find my approach warm, direct, and focused on what actually helps you move forward.

I’m Maria, a nurse practitioner and entrepreneur dedicated to making recovery accessible, compassionate, and effective. I founded May Lily MAT — Inculcate to provide personalized, telehealth-based Suboxone treatment for individuals and families across New Jersey. My work is grounded in evidence-based care and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience. I believe healing works best when it is clinically sound, nonjudgmental, and deeply human.

Hello there! My name is Anjelica and I look forward to learning more about you! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in the field. I received my BA in Psychology from Penn State and my MSW from Walden University. The majority of my experience as a young social worker came from a large community mental health agency in Ocean County, NJ. I spent a lot of time with individuals with severe and persistent mental illness (schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, major depression, trauma, ext). One of my favorite populations to work with are the homeless. I spent years working for PATH in the community and found this work exceptionally rewarding. I also worked for a time with local police departments as the department social worker. Another population I enjoy working with is teens. My graduate internship was at a shelter for children and adolescents aged 10-19 who were homelessness or waiting for foster placement. I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and seniors in an outpatient therapeutic setting.

Hello there!

My name is Timothy Dunn, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Central New Jersey. I have been working in the mental health field since 2016, beginning in inpatient treatment, followed by several years as a case manager supporting adults with severe mental illness, and currently practicing in an outpatient setting since 2022.

I serve a diverse population across age, gender, and mental health concerns, with a focus on treating anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse and neglect, and adolescents. I am looking to work with individuals who are ready to “enter the room” and “do the work,” moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m also a husband, father, and proud dog dad who hopes to help heal the world one person at a time.

Welcome—I'm glad you're here. Reaching out for support takes courage, and it’s an important first step toward feeling better. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion, collaboration, and practical tools for lasting change. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways forward.

My therapeutic style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your unique needs. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based, and person-centered approaches—blending evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. Together, we’ll identify patterns that no longer serve you and build on your strengths to create a more balanced, fulfilling life.

I work with adults across all stages of life, including those navigating career changes, caregiving roles, or life transitions in later adulthood. I believe healing and growth are possible at any age.

If you’re ready to start your journey toward greater peace and self-understanding, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step together.

I am a board -certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping individuals achieve mental wellness through personalized, evidence-based care. I earned my Masters of Science in Nursing with a specialization in psychiatry and have several years of experience working with diverse populations in both in person and tele-psychiatry settings. My clinical focus includes mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, trauma-related conditions and life traditions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard and empowered.
