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 qualified supervisor in 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.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I limit my practice to a few clients with whom I can offer meaningful help. I do not think it is ethical for a psychologist to agree to work with someone who has a problem outside of their expertise or someone who has barriers that the psychologist suspects they cannot overcome. When I conclude that I can help someone, I collaborate with them while applying the most appropriate methods for their problems. I choose these methods from among the many I have studied or developed. This is sometimes called a Transdiagnostic Integrative technique. Here, a clinical label or diagnosis is less important than the unique collection of symptoms a person is living with. I also make sure that I come to understand the client's point of view, how their adversities, their personal philosophy, and their level of suffering combine to lead to their anxiety, depressed mood, or even anger. When the client agrees, I prefer to use psychological testing to be sure my assessment of the client's situation is supported by the best available science. When I conduct psychotherapy, I know it can only be effective when I view the client as presenting many intricate problems that must be fully understood, so each client's issues are approached as scientific hypotheses that guide therapy, which guide my specific interventions, but is always open to revision as new life history information or psychological data becomes available.
Since I have trained numerous therapists and continue researching and publishing in the field, my clients are assured they receiving the most effective evidence-based interventions. If you do see me, you can be confident that you will be unconditionally accepted in a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship with every effort being made to help you.
