Debra Crosby

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I have been a Social Worker for over 17 years. I have been trained and certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from The Beck Institute in Philadelphia, PA and Marriage and Family Therapy from the Multicultural Family Institute in Highland Park, NJ. I have also been trained in Exposure and Response Prevention to treat Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I am trained and utilize many other modalities such as guided meditations, sound vibration and energy healing, and emotional freedom technique ("tapping"). I truly believe everyone grows and heals their own way and there is not one perfect formula for anyone.


I believe that we have all the answers inside us and ultimately are our best guides. I look at counseling and therapy as a way to connect you to yourself, so you can begin to heal and trust your own inner wisdom.


When I work with clients I come from a place of no judgement. In our sessions you will feel a safe space to open up and share what you are struggling with. I feel that under all of our pain, shame, guilt and sadness is our REAL selves and working together we can see where all the beliefs came from and start to find your way back to your true self.

Jacqueline Serritella

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Jersey


I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through behavioral health and substance use challenges. My approach is grounded in trauma‐informed care, cultural sensitivity, and meeting people exactly where they are. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Monmouth University and have worked across inpatient, outpatient, community, and addiction treatment settings. My background includes detox and MAT services, crisis stabilization, care coordination, and leading interdisciplinary teams. I also serve as a clinical instructor for BSN students, which keeps me connected to education, mentorship, and the next generation of nurses.
