Michael Maffei
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
I understand that sharing your vulnerabilities and opening up about your story can be difficult, but I believe everyone’s story deserves to be heard. I work best with clients who are ready to face these challenges, even if they’re unsure where to start. My role is to walk alongside you on your healing journey, offering support as we work toward a deeper understanding of your circumstances. Together, we’ll strive for personal growth, helping you create a more meaningful and balanced life.
I offer a safe, empathetic space where you can feel truly heard and supported. Specializing in anxiety, depression, and trauma, I tailor personalized treatment plans that focus on emotional stability and building on the resilience you already possess. Using evidence-based approaches, I ensure our work aligns with your personal values and unique needs. I also have a passion for working with children and teens who are navigating the complexities of parental divorce, helping them process their emotions and find healthy ways to manage change.
It’s a privilege to hear your story and walk with you on this journey. If you’re facing mental health challenges, I empathize with the weight they carry. When you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out, and together we’ll work toward a life where you’re not just surviving but thriving.

Morgan Avis
Registered Social Worker, LSW
In my therapeutic practice, I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ identifying folks with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I take an intersectional approach with clients to understand client's varying identities and how they interact with one another to create the client's perception of themselves and the world around them. I also like to utilize Systems therapy, where I examine with clients how they are impacted by the various interconnected systems in their lives, including but not limited to family, work, community, and societal structures. Through these means, I support clients in developing coping strategies and challenge their ways of thinking, so that when they leave my practice, they have strong skillsets in place to utilize even after sessions are completed.

Megan Shurtleff
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
My clinical experience includes working with individuals and groups experiencing anxiety (generalized,
OCD, PTSD), depression, bipolar disorder, substance use disorder, attachment-related issues,
adjustment issues, and grief. I have worked with various populations across different settings including
working with adolescents in a community program, dual diagnosis clinical setting, and in crisis
intervention in a hospital setting.
Using a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to
address their current difficulties by identifying root causes and individualized goals for change. My goal
is to empower individuals to create a pathway to achieving these goals by developing and
implementing strategies and coping skills that can best help them achieve lasting and meaningful
changes on their terms.
I am a licensed LSW in NJ, working toward LCSW licensure. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts in both
Psychology and Anthropology, and my Masters of Social Work from Binghamton University. I utilize an
eclectic approach to therapy, allowing therapeutic experience to be adapted to best suit each
individual’s needs and circumstances. I provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space to work
through the change process. Modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical
Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational
Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I limit my practice to a few clients with whom I can offer meaningful help. I do not think it is ethical for a psychologist to agree to work with someone who has a problem outside of their expertise or someone who has barriers that the psychologist suspects they cannot overcome. When I conclude that I can help someone, I collaborate with them while applying the most appropriate methods for their problems. I choose these methods from among the many I have studied or developed. This is sometimes called a Transdiagnostic Integrative technique. Here, a clinical label or diagnosis is less important than the unique collection of symptoms a person is living with. I also make sure that I come to understand the client's point of view, how their adversities, their personal philosophy, and their level of suffering combine to lead to their anxiety, depressed mood, or even anger. When the client agrees, I prefer to use psychological testing to be sure my assessment of the client's situation is supported by the best available science. When I conduct psychotherapy, I know it can only be effective when I view the client as presenting many intricate problems that must be fully understood, so each client's issues are approached as scientific hypotheses that guide therapy, which guide my specific interventions, but is always open to revision as new life history information or psychological data becomes available.
Since I have trained numerous therapists and continue researching and publishing in the field, my clients are assured they receiving the most effective evidence-based interventions. If you do see me, you can be confident that you will be unconditionally accepted in a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship with every effort being made to help you.
