Sabba Scola

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


If anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling emotionally stuck is getting in the way of the life you want, therapy can help. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, mood concerns, self-esteem, identity, while being conscious of the impact of culture and trauma.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in CBT, mindfulness, and holistic care. Together, we’ll build practical tools while exploring the deeper patterns shaping how you see yourself and relate to others.

When we work together, my hope is that you experience warmth, curiosity, and grounded expertise. I believe that honesty, transparency, and clear boundaries are what make therapy feel safe, effective, and genuinely collaborative.

My goal is for you to leave therapy with greater clarity, self-trust, and confidence in your ability to move forward.

Izabella Alpert

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • New Jersey


I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.

My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.

Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.

Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.

Dr. Sajid Baig

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Princeton, NJ


Hello, I’m Dr. Sajid Baig, a board-certified psychiatrist dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma-related concerns, and co-occurring substance use issues. My approach is based on careful assessment, evidence-based treatment, and a strong commitment to understanding each person’s unique story, strengths, and goals. I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse clinical settings—including outpatient psychiatry, inpatient hospital units, correctional mental health, crisis stabilization, and addiction treatment programs. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for how differently psychiatric conditions can present and how important it is to tailor care to each individual’s circumstances. Whether you’re seeking support for the first time or have had prior treatment, I aim to provide clear guidance, steady support, and a treatment plan that feels both effective and collaborative.
