Jess Benedetto, Still Mind Therapist
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MA Mental Health Counseling & Behavioral Medicine, 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher
Still Mind Therapist founder Jess Benedetto offers trauma-informed individual therapy, relationship counseling, and wellness coaching focused on how our unmet needs, misunderstood minds, and past experiences contribute to personal, relational, and physical challenges. We believe that when you have a safe, judgment-free space to cultivate a deep awareness of how and why unhealthy patterns developed, you can begin to rebuild trust in yourself and others and move toward healing and meaningful change. Still Mind is a place where your needs, goals, and vision lead the therapeutic process, and where the path to healing looks different for every person and relationship.

Kate Keach, Natural Compassion Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Are you ready to live authentically and compassionately on your own side? Utilizing Internal Family Systems (IFS) and mindfulness-based therapy, I offer a supportive space to explore the parts of you that feel stuck or in conflict. Together, we'll help those parts soften so you can feel more grounded and at peace with yourself.
If you've tried therapy before but still feel stuck in old patterns, I understand. My work goes beyond talk therapy to help you build an embodied, healing relationship with even the hard-to-love parts of yourself. True well-being is possible, and I would love to help you find greater ease and authenticity in your life.

Clear Light Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, lCSW
Hello, I’m Dana Colthart, LCSW, and I’m the founder of Clear Light Therapy, a group practice based in Englewood, NJ. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are navigating challenges related to OCD, eating disorders and anxiety.
My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, drawing from modalities such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gottman-informed couples work. At the heart of my work is the belief that lasting change comes from both skill-building and compassionate support.
Clients often share that they feel genuinely heard, understood, and empowered in our sessions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s holding you back, learn tools to manage difficult emotions, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values.
Whether you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, body image concerns, anxiety that feels overwhelming, or patterns in your relationship that are hard to shift, you don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can chart a path forward that is practical, supportive, and tailored to your needs.
I offer both in-person sessions in Bergen County and virtual therapy across New Jersey, making therapy accessible and flexible for your lifestyle. If you’d like to learn more, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 15-minute discovery call.
I look forward to walking alongside you in your journey toward healing and growth.

Collin Stanhope
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
My approach is based on helping you connect with your true self, and that means getting in touch with different parts that may be shut down or put aside. These parts are likely hard to access in a way that has been helpful before. I believe in bravely choosing to honor your thoughts and feelings, and acknowledging this may be uncomfortable. However, by doing so you can become more aligned with the person you want to become. I believe intentional spaces are needed to reflect in that way. My hope is this can be one.
