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.

Stacy Lepley
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CBC
Choosing to step into therapy is a profound act of courage. If you are arriving here feeling fractured, exhausted by systemic pressures, or disconnected from your own sense of peace, I want to welcome you just as you are. I believe that therapy is an equal, sacred partnership built on radical warmth, deep safety, and authentic human connection. You are the ultimate expert on your own life history; my role is to walk beside you as a grounded, down-to-earth ally, providing the space and the tools you need to find your footing and heal.
My worldview as a counselor is shaped by a deep understanding of the delicate bridge between mind and body. True emotional wellness cannot exist in isolation. You are a whole person whose nervous system, thoughts, and daily stress levels are intimately tied to your unique biology, your past experiences, and the heavy social and economic realities you navigate every day. Because of this, I look at your story through a highly integrative lens. I don't believe in rigid, cold clinical boxes or passive, distant head-nodding. Instead, I bring my full, authentic self to our sessions, blending a gentle clinical perspective with an open heart and an interactive, highly collaborative style.
In our work together, we will move at a pace that feels entirely safe for you. Because everyone processes life and pain differently, I love using creative, visual, and somatic frameworks to help bring what is happening internally into the light, transforming overwhelming or abstract emotions into tangible, manageable steps. Together, we will gently explore the root causes of what is keeping you stuck, soothe your nervous system from old trauma or chronic burnout, and unpack the real-world burdens that demanding environments place on your mind. There is no judgment here—only a dedicated, compassionate space where you can quiet the noise of the world, honor your lived experience, and reclaim your personal agency to build a life of lasting peace and clarity.
