Relational Psychotherapy
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

Relational Psychotherapy
Andy Lapides
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, BCD
I am an experienced psychotherapist who has been practicing in the field for over twenty years, fifteen years in private practice. I see clients in New Jersey and New York state. I have advanced, post-graduate training in gestalt therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am genuine, funny, intelligent, sensitive, warm, and I can also be firm/direct depending on the need of the client. Sometimes we need different things in the work.. it takes an experienced, intuitive therapist to help us to really get to the heart of what we need to grow. I have helped many clients through quite challenging things in their lives.
Maybe you are facing something difficult, feel down, worried, overwhelmed, not getting what you want in your relationships, confused about who you are, or don't feel confident in yourself. Either way, I welcome you. Please email me or call. Therapy is a wonderful process and it's worth taking the risk of calling. Making that call is the first step.

Relational Psychotherapy
Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
I specialize in working with individuals (children, teens and adults) and couples, and I am incredibly passionate about the work I do and the people with whom I have the honor to work. My areas of expertise are anxiety / stress, relationship challenges, conflict resolution, intrusive negative thoughts and patterns, loss/grief and depression.
Most clients and couples choose to work with me because they are looking for nontraditional therapy that provides them with concrete skills to improve their everyday lives and/or address specific concerns. Holistic and integrative in my approach, I believe that there is no "one size fits all" in therapy. Therefore, I uniquely tailor therapy sessions to meet each client's needs and goals. With extensive experience and training in results oriented and solutions focused cognitive therapies, positive psychology, mindfulness, Buddhist Psychology, Gottman Method for Couples, meditation, and yoga, I offer creative approaches that result in meaningful change and growth.
Above all, I am committed to creating therapeutic relationships that are built on trust, respect, transparency, empathy, honesty, and equality, and I always counsel from a nonjudgmental place of understanding and compassion.
I am happy to offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see how I can best support you! Why wait tomorrow when you can start today? Please reach out to schedule your free consultation on my calendar: https://calendly.com/jenna-sackman/phone-consultation
