Richard (Rick) Brodsky
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Are you looking for an effective and experienced therapist? I have over 20 years of experience working with adults to address challenges that inevitably disrupt our lives, giving us an opportunity to reconsider our values while exploring and implementing new solutions aligned with those values. Life can be joyful at times, yet life can also bring anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. As a psychologist, I help adults 18-50+ years old navigate these difficult moments. Reach out to me to schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Lisa Hawkins-Jack
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
The most important thing in counseling is the person your connecting with; finding someone who understands what your feeling is the most important thing in Therapy. I believe if the problem is not understood accurately, it’s difficult to get to the solutions... let us help you... we will start from where you are. I see clients via teletherapy only.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCAT, ATR-BC, NCC
Lyubov Gonina, MA, NCC, LPC, ATR-BC, LCAT
Licensed Professional Counselor & Board-Certified Art Therapist
I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and thrive when supported with care and understanding. With over a decade of experience, I provide individual and group counseling for adults, children, and families addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is integrative and client-centered, blending cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology with art therapy methods that encourage expression and self-discovery.
I hold a Master’s degree in Art Therapy Counseling from Marylhurst University and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Art from Portland State University. Over the years, I’ve worked in community mental health, medical, and educational settings, and currently offer therapy, supervision, and consultation in private practice.
Originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding of resilience, cultural identity, and adaptation. I believe healing happens when we honor the whole person—mind, body, and culture—and I offer a compassionate space where clients can restore balance, reconnect with their creativity, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I chose to enter the mental health field because I believe real change is possible, and I wanted to be part of helping people get there. My path into this work was shaped by genuine curiosity about people, a desire to be useful, and an understanding that meaningful progress rarely comes from surface-level conversations.
I earned my bachelor's degree from Saint Joseph's University, where I studied sociology, philosophy, and the Italian language. I later completed my Master's in Social Work at Monmouth University. Early in my career, I worked in outpatient and partial hospitalization settings, where I gained extensive experience treating individuals across a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. That work grounded me clinically and reinforced something I have carried into every setting since: effective care has to be individualized, honest, and focused on what actually moves the needle.
Over the past decade, I have built a practice around those same values. I work primarily with men from adolescence through adulthood, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, substance misuse, performance pressure, relationships, and life transitions. My approach is direct and collaborative. I help clients understand what is getting in their way, build practical skills, and stay accountable to the goals that matter most to them.
In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Director at Minding Your Mind, where I help bring mental health education to schools, businesses, and community organizations across New Jersey and Florida. That work has deepened my understanding of how stress, performance pressure, and emotional health show up across different populations and environments.
I hold active licenses in New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina, and I am a clinical supervisor in New Jersey and Florida. I bring more than a decade of clinical experience to every client I work with, along with a straightforward belief that therapy should help people build the life they want, not just talk about it.
