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.

Richard Mohammed MA, LPC, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Empowerment, empathy, compassion, & trust are the cornerstones upon which I build a safe healing space to overcome obstacles. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) & Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) to assist clients with life's navigation by making healthier emotional choices & achieving unconditional acceptance. I have completed Level 1 & 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and when working with couples I channel my skills towards building a strong base to increase relationship intimacy through healthy communication, conflict resolution, & making life dreams come true.
For several years I have worked with individuals, couples, groups, and families from diverse backgrounds, propelling all towards their full potential. Ethically, I use only evidence based practices supported by groundbreaking research, providing clients with interventions demonstrated to work best for their unique struggle.
I aim to provide an engaging, educational, and life altering experience in all sessions, increasing mental strength and overall life satisfaction.

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.

Megan Shurtleff
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
My clinical experience includes working with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety (generalized,
OCD, PTSD), depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorder, attachment-related issues,
adjustment issues, and grief. I have worked with various populations across different settings including
working with adolescents in a community program, dual diagnosis clinical setting, and in crisis
intervention in a hospital setting.
Using a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to
address their current difficulties by identifying root causes and individualized goals for change. My goal
is to empower individuals to create a pathway to achieving these goals by developing and
implementing strategies and coping skills that can best help them achieve lasting and meaningful
changes on their terms.
I am a licensed LSW in NJ, working toward LCSW licensure. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in both
Psychology and Anthropology, and my Masters of Social Work from Binghamton University. I utilize an
eclectic approach to therapy, allowing therapeutic experience to be adapted to best suit each
individual’s needs and circumstances. I provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space to work
through the change process. Modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational
Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.
