You’re stuck in a “negative pattern” with your partner. There’s been a breakdown in communication and you're often feeling misunderstood. You find yourself having the same old conflicts which never get resolved. No matter how you try explaining what you need and how you feel, your partner takes it the wrong way. You wonder: “does my partner care about me anymore?” You feel alone and disconnected and look to your partner for reassurance that you do matter. You've tried everything and nothing seems to help bring you closer together. And you don’t know how to talk to your partner about these concerns.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or worries about the future? Feeling triggered from past trauma and its effecting the way that you're experiencing the world around you? Are your family dynamics and relational bonds in a troubled state? Struggling to establish healthy boundaries in the different areas of your life, and nothing seems to be falling into place? At this point, you are likely desiring a breakthrough.

Change is not easy, change is necessary, change is the key. Without change, all things remain the same. I will work collaboratively with you to facilitate this process of change and help you to reach your personal goals. I have more than 2 decades of experience working with individuals and families in a variety of settings. My philosophy is that good mental health only occurs within a cultural context. As an anti-oppressive therapist, I employ a strength-based culturally sensitive, and holistic approach that allows me to support you through conflict and change.

My name is Carlo and I am a licensed clinical social worker. My therapeutic approach is to actively listen to gain an understanding of you as a whole person. This is done with the goal of attaining an awareness not only of the issues you face but the strengths you possess which can be tapped into to help enact a collaboratively-developed and individualized plan of action that facilitates reaching your short and long term mental health and personal goals. Depending on the needs and goals of the client, I typically use interventions based in Cognitive-Behavioral, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic and Solution Focused therapies.

As a clinical psychologist, I have been trained in working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds and with a range of presenting concerns. I work primarily within a relational, integrative, multicultural framework. I have had particular training/experience in treatments for anxiety/panic disorders and phobias; cognitive therapy for depression and mood disorders; bereavement/grief; immigrant populations/acculturative stress; bi-cultural/ multi-ethnic/racial identity issues; intersectionality; college students; women's issues/trauma; and coming-out issues across cultures.

When was the last time you felt comfortable and confident in yourself? Each of us are tested daily with situations that make us doubt and question if we can really enjoy our lives. We face judgments and prejudices that create negative feelings about ourselves, and find ways to get through life, not to live it. The focus of myself and Seek Your Peace Therapy is your health and quality of life. You deserve to find confidence and security within yourself.

I will assist you in identifying your strengths, and to help you flourish. I appreciate people's complexities, and will help you formulate the best way to move toward your goals. I have experience supporting clients with anxieties, panic, trauma, depression, isolation, divorce, relationship and career issues, and the grief associated with illness or loss. I am an avid LGBTQ supporter and have a deep commitment to human rights and exploring the gender spectrum as part of a healthy journey in life. I also help parents understand, support and accept children who are in the process of questioning their gender.

I firmly believe that life is easier lived when lived in relationship. In relationship, we can receive support, understanding, growth, and acceptance, making difficult life experiences much more bearable. We find and make relationships in so many domains; at home, with friends, in communities, and even with a therapist. That is why I think finding a therapist you feel safe with is so important.

Tri-Meta proudly offers individual therapy, marital/couples' counseling, and family therapy. We believe that your story extends beyond the problems and issues you’re facing right now. We know how important it is to take your entire life experience and identity into account when helping you navigate through present struggles. We have worked to build a team of diverse, experienced, and dedicated therapists who are passionate about providing support to all individuals and communities. Each of our therapists has extensive training in systemic psychotherapy –

Is the weight of being the strong one in your family becoming difficult to manage? To the world, everything looks perfect. But on the inside, everything is not okay. You have checked off all the proverbial boxes of success in life, but you still feel a vast emptiness. It’s hard for you to enjoy your success, feel joy because stress and anxiety keep you up at night. I work with adults to help develop a deeper understanding of how past unresolved family dynamics may play a role in the current struggles you are facing in all of your relationships.

I offer a safe, compassionate space for you to be seen, heard, and supported to become the person you aspire to be. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and also find Internal Family Systems to be a helpful model. With a background in dance, yoga, and meditation, I have a holistic outlook, and rather than focusing on one methodology, I tailor my approach based on your needs. I begin by helping you clarify what you want from therapy and then facilitating your way there as you access your strengths.

Relationships can be tough to manage no matter what the circumstances. But there's hope for the relationship you want, maybe you just need a little help. I am known as the therapist who empowers, educates, and supports those who are looking to become their most authentic and unapologetic selves. Whether you struggle with sexual challenges, are getting frustrated with your dating options, or you are looking for ways to explore your sexuality, I provide a safe and comfortable environment that makes sharing easy and less threatening.

I have been working with children and adolescents in school settings for over 20 years, first as a Special Education Teacher and then as a School Counselor. Through this work, I helped my adolescents and young adults develop executive functioning skills, organizational skills, and goal setting to help them transition into their future endeavors. Now, as a Student Assistance Counselor, I work with adolescents in a high school supporting their mental health needs and substance abuse issues. As a LPC, my goal is to help my clients explore the root of their distress, identify needs and wants and work toward a more balanced life.

Are you looking for a therapist who hears what you’re saying, sees, and feels your issues? Many of us are looking for a therapist who is the right fit, understands the issues we’re bringing up, and can help us work through our challenges to feel better about ourselves. Mental health issues can be difficult to manage alone and having a supportive therapist can make all the difference.

You often feel misunderstood, ignored, even silenced, and this prevents you from asking for what you want...for what you deserve. And, every time you think you are ready to say how you feel or ask for what you want, you realize you are just too exhausted and would rather keep your feelings to yourself to avoid conflict. Deep down you know that you are struggling with your confidence (although you may not show it on the outside). You find yourself in a cycle of unhealthy relationships but you can’t find the motivation or the courage to break the cycle. It’s time to break the cycle and speak up.

In all his work, Chris always looks towards your empowerment and in that provides guidance and helps you to truly recognize your strengths and how to build upon them. Most every appointment is available and is as effective by phone or video chat (Zoom or FaceTime), and can further be more expeditiously scheduled these ways. Guidance, support, and objectivity are key elements in any service provided along with the addition of any tools and action plans as appropriate that have you manifest more of what you want being an active agent of your own change. Chris' experience is with ages 4 and up with children, adolescents, and adults.

I hope for my clients to walk away from therapy feeling like they can handle whatever bumps they may encounter in life. This can happen by becoming aware of habits and patterns that are problematic; fully exploring and understanding them spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, and then coming up with alternative ways of navigating. I offer short and long term treatment options as well as a sliding scale fee when appropriate. I enjoy teaching meditation so that people can move through the world from a place of mindfulness.

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) in the state of New Jersey, and a national certified counselor (NCC). In addition, I am an advanced Nurtured Heart Approach® trainer. While working with children and their families, I utilize the Nurtured Heart Approach® as a vehicle to cultivate strong, healthy, positive relationships between children and their caregivers.
