Deanna Mills
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC LPC NCC
Anxiety or fears can feel as if they have the power to hinder who we want to be or who can be. Feeling anxious and fearful can also serve a positive and necessary purpose. However, can we tell the difference? Anxiety can be considered a common thread that runs throughout the variety of anxiety related struggles including depression, panic, phobias, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, insomnia, substance abuse, eating disorders etc.

Anxiety
Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
My therapy services are designed to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges that gay men often face. Growing up and living in systems that stigmatize and marginalize us can lead to anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, and isolation. I offer a safe, affirming space where you can explore these experiences, find healing, and build resilience.
Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma
Gay men experience higher rates of anxiety, often rooted in rejection, discrimination, and past trauma. Together, we’ll identify the sources of stress and use evidence-based strategies to reduce symptoms, improve mood, and restore balance. For those healing from trauma or PTSD, therapy offers a supportive environment to heal from painful memories and regain a sense of safety and control.
Building Confidence and Managing Stress
Stigma and chronic stress can undermine the ability to feel safe. My approach focuses on strengthening self-esteem, developing healthy coping tools, and helping you cultivate self-compassion and confidence.
My Approach
I use a client-centered, affirming approach that validates your experiences while empowering you to grow. With years of experience working with gay men’s mental health, I integrate proven therapeutic methods to support you in creating lasting change and living more fully and authentically.

Online in Jersey City, NJ
Jersey City is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States — home to large Indian, Filipino, Dominican, Chinese, and West African communities across neighborhoods that have transformed rapidly from industrial to gentrified — and multilingual and culturally informed therapists are a practical necessity rather than a specialty. The city's position directly across the Hudson from Lower Manhattan makes it home to a large financial and professional population navigating the intensity of New York-adjacent careers, and therapists working with burnout, perfectionism, and work-life balance serve a distinct and growing clientele. Jersey City Medical Center and the broader Hudson County healthcare system provide institutional mental health resources. The city's rapid gentrification has created displacement stress and community friction that therapists increasingly encounter in their clinical work.
