Kelly Rozembersky, LMHC
If you have been thinking about speaking with a therapist, chances are that it’s time.
Talking to a stranger about the most intimate details of your life can be an
intimidating feat to overcome, and being vulnerable can be scary. That is why is my
goal to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable exploring and processing your
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I recognize the importance of developing a
genuine connection that feels like a ‘natural fit,’ and aim to make you feel
unconditionally accepted and supported. My specialty is helping adults and
adolescents that suffer from anxiety, depression, and trauma. Much of my success
has come from helping clients with life transitions, self-esteem, grief and loss,
relationship issues, and work-related stress. I only utilize evidence-based
treatments that are clinically proven to promote mental wellness. Through
increased insight and self-awareness, I help clients lead authentic, fulfilling lives that
improve relationships with themselves and others. I earned my Master’s degree in
Clinical Mental Health Counseling at New Jersey City University and specialized in
cultural competency; where I gained extensive training and experience working
with diverse populations.

Michael Pitagno, LMHC
I am a passionate therapist dedicated to providing support for those seeking personal growth and healing while being attentive to the whole individual. I approach therapy as a collaborative journey towards positive change. With a focus on addressing concerns across the lifespan, I work with a diverse range of concerns, from anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss; to relationship issues and life transitions. Grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity for meaningful change, I place great importance on fostering a therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences, find deeper understanding, and create meaning in their lives. Through a client-centered approach, I desire to empower clients to harness their strengths and discover their innate potential for resilience.
Kim Dever-Johnson, LMHC
Hi, I’m Kim Dever-Johnson MA, LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a passion for
helping children, adolescents, young adults, and women navigate life’s challenges. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, build resilience, and
work through difficult life experiences. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, life
transitions, or relationship challenges, I am here to guide you toward healing and personal
growth. My approach is integrative, drawing on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution focused strategies, tailored to meet your
unique needs.
Alex Harnos, LP-MHC
Alex works with adults of all genders, creating a space where clients can explore what’s really going on beneath the surface.
"Whether you’re navigating strong feelings of anger, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or questions around sexual identity, I take an adaptive approach—because therapy isn’t ‘one size fits all.’ Every conversation is an opportunity to find deeper meaning and uncover sustainable solutions. I especially enjoy supporting people through life transitions, whether that’s adjusting to big changes, working through relational challenges, or just figuring out the complexities of adulthood. My work also extends to LGBTQ+ communities and those exploring anger management, always with the goal of creating real and lasting change. Therapy can feel intimidating at first—so many options, so many unknowns. But by seeking support, you’ve already taken a meaningful step toward prioritizing yourself and your growth. Together, we’ll dig into what’s holding you back, build practical tools, and make space for genuine insights. If this sounds like the kind of work you’re ready to do, let’s talk. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your journey.
