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.

Andy Lapides
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, BCD
I am an experienced psychotherapist who has been practicing in the field for over twenty years, fifteen years in private practice. I see clients in New Jersey and New York state. I have advanced, post-graduate training in gestalt therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am genuine, funny, intelligent, sensitive, warm, and I can also be firm/direct depending on the need of the client. Sometimes we need different things in the work.. it takes an experienced, intuitive therapist to help us to really get to the heart of what we need to grow. I have helped many clients through quite challenging things in their lives.
Maybe you are facing something difficult, feel down, worried, overwhelmed, not getting what you want in your relationships, confused about who you are, or don't feel confident in yourself. Either way, I welcome you. Please email me or call. Therapy is a wonderful process and it's worth taking the risk of calling. Making that call is the first step.
