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 clinical supervisor in New Jersey and 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.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I’m a therapist with over 10 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life challenges across many different settings and stages of life. I bring a warm, kind, and grounded approach to my work, and I use humor when it helps create ease and connection in the room.
I believe therapy should feel both safe and effective. My priority is building a strong, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable being yourself and talking about what’s really going on beneath the surface. I also value collaboration, and I welcome feedback from clients so we can shape the work together in a way that feels most helpful for you.
Together, we can explore the deeper history and past experiences you may still be carrying- especially the ones that continue to impact your stress, mood, relationships, and sense of self today. At the same time, I bring structure to our work so sessions feel focused, intentional, and productive, making sure your time is used in a meaningful and thoughtful way.
My goal is for you to feel more understood, supported, and connected to yourself as you move toward real and lasting change.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.
