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.

Roland Achtau
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC, ICGC-1, CSAT Candidate
Due to the sensitive nature of addiction, it is important to seek help from someone who understands. Having had my own personal recovery experience, I understand and relate to the challenges of maintaining one's recovery. I give specialized attention to each client I serve by treating him or her holistically and offering him or her an umbrella of complimentary services. Recovery is about treating the person, not just the addiction.

Beth T. Hastings
Licensed Professional Counselor, MAC, LPC
For over 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, couples and families in some of the most challenging seasons of their lives. I believe people change best when they feel both deeply understood and gently guided. My approach is grounded in compassion and clinical excellence.
As a licensed, seminary-trained counselor with advanced Level II training from the Gottman Institute, I bring both research-based tools and spiritual sensitivity into the therapy room. Whether I’m helping a couple rebuild trust after betrayal, supporting someone overwhelmed by anxiety, or guiding a marriage that feels distant and strained, my aim is the same: to create a safe space where honesty leads to clarity, and clarity leads to growth.
I am also trauma-informed, which means I move at your pace and honor your story. For clients open to it, I thoughtfully integrate faith-based care, believing that lasting change involves the whole person—emotional, relational, and spiritual.
Healing is possible. Relationships can be restored. Peace can be rebuilt. It would be an honor to walk with you so please contact with me for a 15-minute free consultation.

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

Paterson is one of New Jersey's largest and most ethnically diverse cities, a former industrial hub whose silk-milling heritage has given way to a dense and vibrant immigrant community spanning Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Bangladeshi, and Middle Eastern populations, with mental health needs that are correspondingly multilingual and cross-cultural. The city has a high poverty rate and limited private therapy infrastructure, and the demand for multilingual, culturally competent care—particularly in Spanish and Arabic—significantly outpaces the available supply. St. Joseph's University Medical Center in Paterson provides behavioral health services, and community organizations supplement what is a largely under-resourced formal mental health system. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, family stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of maintaining cultural identity and community cohesion across generations in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
