Anna Urbaniak
Psychologist, PhD
At Mindfully Balanced NJ, I specialize in evidence-based treatments for anxiety, trauma, and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. My goal is to help clients understand the root of their struggles and build practical tools to move toward a calmer, more values-driven life.
I provide tailored, research-supported therapies including:
💠 Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – The gold-standard treatment for OCD and related anxiety disorders. Together, we gently face fears and reduce compulsions to restore freedom and confidence.
💠 Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) – A unique approach to OCD that targets the faulty reasoning process behind intrusive doubts, helping you trust your senses and intuition again.
💠 Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) – An evidence-based trauma treatment designed to help you reprocess painful experiences and release self-blame.
💠 Prolonged Exposure (PE) – A structured and compassionate approach to help you safely confront trauma memories, reduce avoidance, and reclaim your sense of safety.
💠 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Helps you stop fighting your thoughts and instead live more fully through acceptance, mindfulness, and value-driven action.
💠 Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRB) Work – Specialized interventions for hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking, and nail biting using habit reversal and acceptance-based tools.
💠 Insomnia Treatment – Cognitive and behavioral strategies to restore restful sleep without dependency on medication.
💠 Mindfulness-Based Interventions – Practical techniques to anchor you in the present moment, reduce reactivity, and strengthen emotional resilience.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I know choosing a therapist can be difficult. I like to provide an atmosphere that is collaborative, nurturing, and focused on helping you achieve your goals. I do this using therapeutic techniques that are evidenced-based which means these methods have consistently been shown effective through research. I make every effort to balance kindness with a focus on getting you to where you want to be. This balance results in people feeling understood while creating meaningful change.

Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Feeling stuck often means familiar strategies are no longer doing their job. I work with clients to examine those patterns directly, address unresolved trauma when it’s relevant, and develop changes that translate into day-to-day functioning. My work is grounded in person-centered therapy and EMDR, with an emphasis on practical, observable change rather than insight alone.

Merritt Posten Benz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
At the start of the Pandemic, I was skeptical that online/virtual therapy would be of the same quality and connection as in person/in office counseling. I was pleasantly surprised that the work did translate and now I am grateful that I can offer high quality services to a wider group of couples and individuals. Even though I do see a handful of clients in man office, majority of my clients have preferred to meet virtually and appreciate the connivence and comfort of having sessions from the location of their own choosing. The quality of your life is crafted from your decisions. Whether those decisions are intentional or passive, we create and re-create our lives every day. Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and the clearest path to your best life. Your breakthrough is waiting.

Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
Adolescents and adults navigating their faith and sexuality (LGBTQ+ affirming), anxiety, depression, interpersonal challenges, grief, trauma, pregnancy/postpartum, family of origin concerns, identity development, and general life stressors and transitions would particular enjoy working with me. Multicultural couples and families navigating culture clashes, estrangement, faith transitions, and sexual and intergenerational trauma, especially for BIPOC populations, are treatment specialties. Psychedelic psychotherapy preparation and integration are also available with referrals to clinics and others who can provide medication administration. Psychological assessment to clarify diagnoses such as autism, bipolar disorder, ADHD, etc., Independent Medical Evaluations (IME), worker’s compensation, preemployment for first responders, and fitness-for-duty-evaluations are also offered. Approaching patients with cultural humility is a core value at Malak Psychology honoring who you are, your ancestors, and the indigenous land we occupy.
Grounded in decolonizing mental health, liberation, and feminist psychologies, my practice employs multimodal approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, cognitive processing therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, somatic experiencing, emotionally focused couples therapy, Gottman, family systems, psychoanalysis, and more.
Empowering you to forge your unique path, I serve as a guide with an emphasis on agency and self-determination. Collaborative wellness plans allow participants to decide the depth of exploration into subjects. I ensure evidence-based, collaborative, and individualized care by incorporating peer-reviewed research and indigenous knowledge systems.

I received my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Yale University in 1974. My four-year postdoctoral Certificate in Psychoanalysis is from the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. People enter psychotherapy with mixed emotions of hope and doubt. I try to provide a warm environment conducive to honest, authentic communication. My work is guided as much by my own years of personal therapy and psychoanalysis as by my formal education.

Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW, LISCW
I prefer one-on-one in-person therapy, however I have found that numerous types of online therapy can also be useful and beneficial. Since there are numerous ways of doing online therapy we can talk about what your preference is and work out something acceptable. The Coronavirus precautions have helped facilitate these technologies and we might as well take advantage of them.

Roxy Zarrabi
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When you crave a fulfilling relationship but find yourself feeling burned out, disappointed by your dating experiences, or anxious about your current relationship, you may feel hopeless about your romantic future. You may start to question yourself and think, Am I ever going to figure this out? Will I ever be satisfied with my love life? What am I doing wrong? When you long to feel secure but often find yourself filled with self-doubt and feeling “not good enough”, it can be draining and isolating. You are sick of feeling stuck and deep down, you know there has to be a better way, but you’re just not sure what it is.
I specialize in helping women struggling with dating and relationship challenges, low self-worth, and/or anxiety to tap into their strengths and thrive. An important component of our work together is supporting you in building tools to improve your relationship with yourself so that you can feel confident about dating and the future of your relationships.
I'm currently offering virtual sessions. If you would like to learn more about how I can help you, call or email me to book a free phone consultation.
