Jacob Biancardi

Clients often tell me they feel truly heard, understood, and empowered after our sessions. My goal is for you to walk away with renewed hope, practical skills, and the belief that lasting change is possible—no matter where you’re starting from.
I bring a creative, accessible perspective to therapy. I blend mindfulness, neuroscience, and the latest in mental health research to help you reframe challenges, build resilience, and move toward your goals with confidence.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD and the founder of Hold the Vision Therapy. I’m a direct, engaged therapist so if you’re looking for someone who will actively work with you to understand and shift the patterns that are getting in the way of your relationships or personal growth, we’ll likely be a good fit.
Relationships are my specialty, whether that’s with yourself, partners, family, or chosen family. I work with communication issues, intimacy and sexual concerns, trauma, infidelity, life transitions, and high-conflict situations like domestic violence, divorce and co-parenting. I’m poly- and LGBTQIA+-affirmative and kink-aware, and I bring a sex-positive, nonjudgmental approach to this work.

Anna Urbaniak
Psychologist, PhD
I’m Dr. Anna Urbaniak, a licensed clinical psychologist and founder of Mindfully Balanced NJ, where I specialize in helping adults find calm, clarity, and confidence while overcoming OCD, PTSD, anxiety, and stress-related issues.
With a compassionate, evidence-based approach, I integrate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, and trauma-informed therapy to guide clients toward lasting change. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in understanding the “why” behind symptoms — not just treating them.
Whether you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, trauma, or constant self-doubt, therapy with me is about helping you regain control, reconnect with your values, and live more freely.
I offer telehealth sessions in English and Polish, and work as an out-of-network provider to ensure personalized care without insurance restrictions.
Let’s take the next mindful step together.
