Terri DiMatteo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
I'm Terri DiMatteo, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey, and for more than a decade I've been helping individuals and couples navigate the most painful and disorienting chapters of their relationships. The people who find their way to my practice are often in one of three places.
In our work together, I take an attachment-based approach shaped by The Intimacy Bond™, a framework I developed from years of helping couples repair what felt beyond repair. With couples, my loyalty is to the relationship itself, not to either partner, so both of you can speak honestly without fear of being judged. After an affair, we move at a pace that honors the hurt while building a path toward trust.
When love has gone quiet, we uncover what pulled you apart and practice the small, daily ways of reaching for each other again. And for those recovering from narcissistic abuse, our individual work focuses on understanding what happened, restoring trust in your own perceptions, and setting boundaries that protect your peace.
You don't need your partner's agreement to begin. Many people start on their own. I meet with clients online throughout New Jersey, and a complimentary consultation is an easy, no-pressure way to see whether we're a good fit.

Meandering to Change, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Hello! I see therapy as a casual conversation with a purpose. That purpose is to create an opportunity for you to explore your experiences, better understand yourself, and discover possibilities for change.
For more than 21 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people through challenges of all shapes and sizes. Some have names such as anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship difficulties. Others are simply parts of life that have become difficult, confusing, overwhelming, or no longer feel right. I don’t believe a problem needs to fit neatly into a diagnosis to deserve attention.
I believe each person comes to therapy with their own story, strengths, experiences, and understanding of the world. You are the expert on the life you’ve lived. I bring my clinical experience, curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to explore that life alongside you.
Change doesn’t always happen in a straight line. Sometimes we know exactly where we want to go, and sometimes figuring out the destination is part of the journey. Wherever you are when we meet, that’s where we’ll begin.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Maybe you're exhausted from carrying everything on your own. You want someone to lean on, but trusting people has never felt safe. You tell yourself you should be over what happened by now, but you still feel the impact of the past. You are really hard on yourself, struggle to get close to people, feel on edge even when nothing is wrong, or wonder why the same relationship patterns keep showing up. On the outside, you might look like you're keeping it together, but internally you feel exhausted and alone.
One of the things I love most about being a therapist is helping people finally make sense of and find closure from experiences that have never truly been processed. And to provide the support you’ve always needed but have never truly received. Healing is about helping both your mind and body learn that you don't have to stay in survival mode. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, blending evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind-body techniques to create meaningful, lasting change.
I know you may feel like you can't really rely on anyone and have had to handle everything on your own. Working with me as your therapist, you'll finally have someone in your corner who has your back and will be your biggest advocate. My clients have described me as someone patient and compassionate who will also give direct, helpful feedback that supports their goals; and someone who isn't afraid to bring some well-timed humor into sessions, because healing involves connecting with joy too.
Our work together will be intentional. I come with a personalized plan for each session so you get the most out of your therapy. Everything will be tailored to your unique story, goals, and nervous system. We'll move at your pace while addressing the deeper roots of what's keeping you stuck, so you can build self-trust, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of peace in your daily life. If you're wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you during a free 15-minute consultation! To schedule a consultation, you can contact me to coordinate a time or book directly on my website if that's easier.
