Dr. Cassandra Hutchins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand that seeking out a mental health professional can be a difficult and sometimes intimidating step, and I’m committed to making the process as comfortable and supportive as possible. My goal is to provide confidential, compassionate care while paying close attention to your unique needs and experiences, ensuring that our work together feels personal, meaningful, and effective.
I’m a Licensed Psychologist (NJ #6032) with a B.A. in Psychology from Rutgers University and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Capella University. Over the years, I’ve worked in both private practice and community mental health settings, supporting individuals through challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, traumatic brain injury, and involvement with child protective services.
My approach integrates evidence-based therapy with a holistic perspective that considers the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I believe in creating a safe, empathetic space where you can process, heal, and grow because your mental and emotional wellbeing deserves thoughtful, individualized care.

Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I am a trauma‑informed therapist with advanced training in sexology who helps adults heal how trauma, culture, and identity shape their relationships, bodies, and sex lives. I work especially well with clients who “hold it all together” for everyone else while feeling anxious, shut down, or disconnected inside. In our work, we make room for the parts of you that have had to stay small or silent around desire, boundaries, faith, family, or reproductive experiences so you can move from survival mode toward more safety, choice, and aliveness in your own life.

Aranya Edmonds
Pre-Licensed Professional, LAMFT / LAC
As a relational therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families identify the patterns contributing to anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges.
My approach focuses on strengthening both your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who feel stuck in cycles of stress, perfectionism, disconnection, or life transitions. Together, we explore the emotional and relational factors shaping your experience and work toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.
I provide therapy for anxiety, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and personal growth through a supportive, steady, and collaborative process. Clients often describe feeling deeply understood, gaining new insight, and developing tools that support meaningful and lasting change.
If you are looking for a therapist who offers thoughtful, relational, and evidence-informed care, therapy can provide a space to reconnect with yourself and build more fulfilling relationships.

Peace and Balance Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Will I ever feel like myself again? It can feel as though a part of you has vanished, leaving behind an emptiness nothing seems to ease. Life feels muted; colors less vivid, joy just out of reach. Some days, you hardly recognize the person you’ve become. You want to move forward, yet every step feels heavy and uncertain. When you think about the future, it often appears distant and dark, leaving you wondering how life reached this point.
Therapy with me offers a safe, supportive space to untangle the layers of your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. I provide a compassionate environment where you can openly explore anxiety, depression, and the challenges weighing on you. Even if you feel trapped by your current circumstances, it is possible to find clarity, direction, and a sense of freedom through working with a professional.
Will happiness return? Yes. Counseling can help you reconnect with who you want to be and how you want to feel. This is your opportunity to make a change and step away from the life that has been holding you down. Take the step you’ve been postponing and reconnect with your confident, joyful self. I’m here to help when you’re ready. Reach out today to begin.
