Angie Yemma
Therapist, LCAT, BCDMT
From the outside, it looks like you're doing everything right. You work hard, show up for others, and push yourself to succeed. But behind the scenes, you're exhausted. You overthink every decision, replay conversations in your head, and constantly wonder if you're doing enough. No matter how much you accomplish, it never seems to feel like enough.
If this sounds familiar, you're not alone.
I specialize in helping teens and young adults break free from perfectionism, anxiety, and self-doubt. Together, we'll uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, learn how to quiet your inner critic, and build confidence that isn't based on achievement alone.
As a therapist and dance/movement therapist, I believe healing happens when we learn to listen to both our minds and our bodies. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. Therapy with me isn't about becoming a different person—it's about helping you feel more like yourself again.
You don't have to keep carrying the pressure alone. If you're ready to stop striving for perfect and start living with more confidence, self-compassion, and joy, I'd love to help.

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.
