Megan Shurtleff
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
My clinical experience includes working with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety (generalized,
OCD, PTSD), depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorder, attachment-related issues,
adjustment issues, and grief. I have worked with various populations across different settings including
working with adolescents in a community program, dual diagnosis clinical setting, and in crisis
intervention in a hospital setting.
Using a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to
address their current difficulties by identifying root causes and individualized goals for change. My goal
is to empower individuals to create a pathway to achieving these goals by developing and
implementing strategies and coping skills that can best help them achieve lasting and meaningful
changes on their terms.
I am a licensed LSW in NJ, working toward LCSW licensure. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in both
Psychology and Anthropology, and my Masters of Social Work from Binghamton University. I utilize an
eclectic approach to therapy, allowing therapeutic experience to be adapted to best suit each
individual’s needs and circumstances. I provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space to work
through the change process. Modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational
Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.

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.

Whether this is your first time in therapy or you're returning to continue the work you started, something brought you to this search today. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, even if it isn't your first time.

It will be my goal to meet you where you're at and work at your pace, while also pushing you to meet the goals you outline for your treatment. I understand that whatever has brought you here is deeply personal and sensitive, and I vow to treat our counseling space with honor and respect.

Dr. Vanessa Vitiello
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Choosing a therapist, especially during pregnancy or postpartum, can feel like a vulnerable and important decision. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up as you are. I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, and perfectionism during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Many of my clients are used to holding it all together, yet feel anxious, stretched thin, or disconnected during this transition. This can be completely disorienting, leaving you feeling like it is hard to ask for support.
My approach is integrative and holistic, combining evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind–body practices. With my background as a psychologist and training as a yoga teacher, I help clients not only gain insight, but also feel more regulated and capable.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can make sense of your experience and develop tools that feel realistic and sustainable. Therapy with me is about creating space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with a clearer sense of what they need and how to care for themselves
