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.

Dr. Abrielle Conway, Rooted in Grace Psychological Services
Psychologist, Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Hi, I'm a licensed psychologist who is passionate about improving women's mental health, addressing sources of anxiety/stress, perfectionism, grief/loss, and trauma. I'm sensitive to the unique challenges women face, particularly related to societal expectations of wives/ mothers, women in the workforce, and other social organizations (like church). Women often come to me when they have exhausted all of their resources and are at the end of the rope in managing their anxiety and stress. I often hear that despite a strong desire to break through their circumstances, they often feel overwhelmed and stuck. They share that they need practical, hands-on strategies to help them overcome their problems.
I take a highly collaborative approach in our work, meaning that while I give clients necessary information to make an educated decision, clients are in control of their treatment throughout the entire process.
To get a feel for my style, I've included several pieces of feedback I've heard from clients who have enjoyed working with me:
1. "You see me and you hear me. I'm not alone anymore. This is the first time I've felt so understood."
2. "You are a safe place to just be myself with all my imperfections. I don't have to worry about putting on a mask."
3. "You give me practical tools to help me deal with my problems. I've made so much more progress in working with you over the past month than I did with my last therapist in years."
If it sounds like we could work well together, feel free to call the office or request a consultation: https://www.rootedingrace.org/request/service

Lawisha Dulski
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCPC, NCC
I believe in a person centered and narrative approach, as you are the expert of your own life. You
have your own story to tell. Talking to a stranger about issues you’re facing can be extremely
difficult and challenging but it shows enormous amounts of strength and bravery.
My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can express yourself,
discuss challenges that you are facing, explore new ideas and new chapters, and to help promote
growth and wellness. I want my clients to feel heard and understood.

Lauren Michelle Lee
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
My passion lies in building a safe and collaborative space where we can work together to overcome life’s obstacles. I am passionate about working with members from all communities - including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I take a social justice approach to my work, while utilizing a variety of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a Person-Centered Positive approach, incorporation of mind/body connection, meditation, and creating healthy life balance.
Together, we will collaborate to identify what work best for you. I prioritize genuineness and authenticity in my sessions to provide you with the best support for your specific issues - whether that is a space to listen or concrete coping skills to take with you outside of session

Lillian Gecker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re going through big life changes, figuring out who you are, and finding your people. You’re ready to look inward, explore how your past is impacting the present, challenge your relational patterns, and connect with your identities and values. I take a collaborative and warm approach in helping you develop concrete strategies to manage stress and daily struggles, while supporting you in strengthening your connection with yourself and your community. You already have a lot of insight, strengths, and supports – and I’m here to help you bring those forth and integrate them into your day-to-day. You’re ready to go beyond tips to manage symptoms and look deeper to make lasting change.
I work with adolescents and adults managing depression, anxiety, life transitions, traumatic stress, healthy relationships, and identity exploration. I will hold your inner life as well as social, political, and cultural factors; bring authenticity and attention to your individual needs; and engage in depth-oriented approaches to help you increase insight into yourself.
I love working with a variety of mental health concerns, and am also passionate about working with activists, artists, helping professionals, adult/teen children of alcoholics, and individuals exploring identity issues related to gender, sexuality, and/or religion.
