Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
One of my greatest joys is to see my people growing, healing, and living their lives more fully. My people know better than anyone else what is right for them, which means it is crucial for me to work collaboratively with them. A core belief of mine is that healing from trauma should not require people to relive their traumas; I do not focus on trauma details in my work with people. I am neurodivergent (ADHD), have a neurodiverse family (ADHD, autism) and I welcome working with people who are also neurodivergent. Additionally, I am an ally of the LGBTQ community and have a child who is trans. In a world that so often feels unsafe and uncaring, I strive to provide a place of safety where people are heard, seen, and accepted.

Anna DiNoto
Psychologist, PsyD, LMHC, PSYPACT - Licensed Psychologist
While many view mental health assessment and treatment as a way to identify a diagnosis someone else (i.e., a psychologist) assigns, we view it as an engaging and empowering process. A diagnosis may be met, and if this is true our hope is you will have words to understand who you are, how your brain (and body) sees and interacts with the world, and what you could potentially do about it based on honoring your input.

Barton Shulman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC (multiple states), CCMHC, BC-TMH
People come to me because they're navigating difficulties with life changes, depression, anxiety—any of a million ways that distress manifests itself in our lives. If I had to say I have a specialty, it's seeing you for the unique person that you are, and meeting you where you are in your struggle. I work with my clients to help discover what issues are causing difficulty or suffering and then to identify the strengths that people have inside of them to help address those challenges.
I see my work as walking a path with you. It’s not my job to tell you which path to take or point you to a different path. My job is to walk alongside of you and point out some of the things you're not noticing. I accompany you down your path instead of telling you where to go.
It's really common for people to think nobody sees them—nobody gets them—and that's my work. To set a safe place for you to be fully you, and to have somebody who sees you. Sees your doubts, your fears, all the things that you feel are flaws, and accepts you for all of that. I truly believe that at our core we're all trying to grow toward our truest self, and my job isn't to tell you what that true self is. It's really to just provide you a space to grow into that, and get out of your way, and support you and help you do it.

Dr. William Christiana
Psychologist, PsyD
I am a licensed psychologist in New Jersey and New York. I have specialized training in the assessment and treatment of mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and collaborative partnership with my patients, viewing this as the foundation for our work together. I strongly believe that all people are capable of positive change and see psychotherapy as vehicle in that process, helping to foster introspection, self-awareness, compassion, and personal growth.
