Mya McNeil is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping children, adolescents, and families thrive. She believes every child deserves a safe, welcoming space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. Mya partners closely with children and their families to strengthen communication, build healthy coping skills, and foster emotional growth both in and outside of therapy. As an Afro-Latina therapist, Mya is committed to providing compassionate, culturally responsive care that honors each client's unique experiences and strengths. Her approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual's needs. She integrates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused therapy. In addition to her work with children, teens, and families, Mya also enjoys working with adults seeking support through life transitions, stress, anxiety, and personal growth.

I specialize in supporting young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My clients often face the pressures of school, work, or early career challenges, and may feel overwhelmed by stress, uncertainty, or the expectations they place on themselves. Many are seeking guidance in understanding their emotions, building practical coping strategies, and creating a more balanced approach to everyday life. My approach is supportive, practical, and collaborative. Therapy with me is about helping you better understand yourself while developing tools that actually make a difference in daily life. Together, we focus on increasing emotional awareness, strengthening coping skills, and cultivating healthier ways of responding to stress and overwhelming emotions. Therapy isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about building insight, skills, and confidence to navigate life in a healthier, more balanced way. I offer early morning and evening appointments to accommodate busy schedules, making therapy accessible for clients balancing school, work, and daily responsibilities. A free 20-minute consultation is available to explore how we can work together.

Hi, I’m Dr. Sandy Hussain, DNP, PMHNP‑BC, APRN. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Hope Health Care Solutions, focusing solely on medication management. My approach blends professionalism with empathy, ensuring patients feel supported through clear, patient‑centered care.

I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner practising in New Jersey with almost 20 years of experience in children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is warm, and my patients' mental health is my priority.

As an AuDHD (i.e. someone who is autistic and also happens to have ADHD), I am honored to work with neurodivergent people who have difficulty developing nourishing relationships, honoring themselves, and finding acceptance. I see my clients learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings and sensations, noticing their bodies, unmet needs, and humanity. From this, there is a shift from rejection to acceptance and holding. The body is no longer something to be avoided, but a home for healing, growth, and nourishment.

Dr. Alexander Iofin is a board-certified psychiatrist with more than 50 years of experience in medicine and psychiatry. Today, his private practice focuses on helping adults with ADHD, anxiety, and depression and treat patients throughout the state of New Jersey. Dr. Iofin understands how these conditions can affect nearly every part of life—from concentration, motivation, and productivity to relationships, work, sleep, and overall well-being. He provides comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and evidence-based medication management, taking time to understand each patient’s symptoms, history, challenges, and goals. His approach combines decades of clinical experience with thoughtful, personalized care. Dr. Iofin began his remarkable medical career at just 16 years old, when he entered medical school in the former Soviet Union, graduating with high honors and distinction. After immigrating to the United States, he completed the required medical examinations and continued his postgraduate training at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, completing a four-year psychiatry residency program in two years, followed by fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. For more than 25 years, Dr. Iofin has also been recognized as an expert in psychiatry by New Jersey courts. He has conducted thousands of complex psychiatric and independent evaluations, including court-appointed assessments and evaluations involving disability, U.S. veterans, and the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office. His work has been admitted into evidence in federal proceedings involving veterans. Dr. Iofin has also taught medical students and residents, prepared psychiatrists for board examinations, and participated in developing examination questions for physicians. Whether you are seeking answers for longstanding symptoms or considering psychiatric treatment for the first time, Dr. Iofin brings exceptional experience and an individualized approach to helping you move forward.

I've been a licensed clinical social worker for over twenty five years, and in that time I've learned that most people don't come to therapy because they want to talk about their problems. They come because they're ready for something to actually change. My training is in trauma, and EMDR has been a core part of how I work for a long time now, but the bulk of my practice is with women navigating a major shift, dating again after years out of the field, going through a divorce or a breakup, becoming a mother, working through midlife issues, or dealing with work related stress and burnout. I also work with couples who are trying to figure out whether they can rebuild something or whether they're ready to move on, and either way, want to do it with more clarity than they came in with. What tends to set my work apart is that I never treat a person's background, whatever it is, as separate from what's actually going on with them clinically. That comes out of years spent developing a real depth in Jewish cultural competency, work I also train other clinicians and organizations in, but the underlying skill is the same no matter who is sitting across from me, understanding the full context someone is carrying and working with it, not around it. I've been in private practice since 2008. If you're looking for someone who takes what's going on seriously and has the years behind her to know what actually helps, I'd be glad to talk.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. You're taking a big step for yourself. My main ways of thinking that I lean towards are: compassion-focused, psychodynamic, attachment styles, and emotion-focused. I've been described by clients as patient, having a positive unconditional regard, and being able to challenge them to help them take steps toward growth. This process isn't always easy. My goal is to create a place where you can feel seen, safe, challenged, and supported, so that we can create lasting change. My approach leans toward being more direct and inquisitive, but with compassion. For releasing emotions, beliefs and trauma from the body I use the somatic and neurological technique of Brainspotting.
