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.

Adrian Pinckney
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe meaningful change begins within a therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and genuine human connection. Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment.
As a licensed clinical social worker, I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of everyday life. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and tailored to each individual's unique experiences, values, and goals. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, I collaborate with clients to develop practical strategies while exploring the deeper patterns that influence emotional well-being.
Whether you're working through a difficult chapter, healing from past experiences, or striving for greater clarity and resilience, therapy can be a powerful investment in yourself. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they build insight, strengthen their emotional health, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Courtney Crooks
Psychologist, PhD, CTMH, CCTP, NATC
I am a licensed psychologist in private practice, with over 20 years of professional experience in psychological research and clinical practice. I specialize in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individual adults ages 18+. I can help you understand the underlying basis of your conflicts, then guide you on your journey toward meaningful, positive change according to your needs and goals. I will work with you to develop a customized psychotherapy plan depending on your specific needs and goals, which may include session packages that are intentionally short-term (12-16 sessions) or long-term (1-2 sessions per week spanning some months). I am a military veteran, and have received specialized training related to military and veteran's issues, so I also welcome persons from the military and veteran communities as prospective patients. I am a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC), and hold an Authorization to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I’m a therapist with over 10 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life challenges across many different settings and stages of life. I bring a warm, kind, and grounded approach to my work, and I use humor when it helps create ease and connection in the room.
I believe therapy should feel both safe and effective. My priority is building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking about what’s really going on beneath the surface. I also value collaboration, and I welcome feedback from clients so we can shape the work together in a way that feels most helpful for you.
Together, we can explore the deeper history and past experiences you may still be carrying- especially the ones that continue to impact your stress, mood, relationships, and sense of self today. At the same time, I bring structure to our work so sessions feel focused, intentional, and productive, making sure your time is used in a meaningful and thoughtful way.
My goal is for you to feel more understood, supported, and connected to yourself as you move toward real and lasting change.
