Carrie Costa

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Do you often notice that you have self-critical thoughts and beliefs? Do you have past experiences or traumas that may be hindering your ability to practice self-compassion? Feelings are sometimes hard to explain and even harder to deal with. Understanding why you feel a certain way can help you regain control over yourself and how you respond. My passion is helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

Salina Mecham

Salina Mecham

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Salina Mecham. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of Utah, along with certification in substance use treatment. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Master Addiction Counselor (MAC), and Domestic Violence Intervention Treatment Counselor (DVP), and I am fully licensed in Utah, Washington, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.

I have experience working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings, including residential programs, behavioral health hospitals, and community mental health. I began my career in group homes for youth, where I developed a strong foundation in working with individuals in high-stress and high-need situations. Since then, I have continued to support individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use, trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

I am a trained Level 1 Gottman therapist (working on Level 2), this is helpful to those struggling with relationship issues. I am also a trained Level 1 IFS therapist, which is a great modality for people struggling with PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc. I have invested countless hours in learning other helpful modalities and concepts that add to my knoweldge.

People tend to seek me out because they are looking for someone who feels normal and approachable. Sure, I have a quirk or two, but people often describe talking with me as feeling like they are talking with an old friend who happens to know a lot of mental health specific things and who gives solid counsel and makes them feel valid in this crazy world.

Laura Fink

Laura Fink

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Westfield, NJ, with a practice that blends individual therapy, couples work, and executive coaching. My approach draws on both clinical training and coaching credentials, which means I can hold space for deep emotional work while also helping clients move toward concrete goals — whether that's healing from anxiety, navigating a relationship, or figuring out what's next in their career or life. I specialize in working with high-achieving women who look put-together on the outside but are quietly struggling on the inside — the ones juggling career, family, and self-worth, often for the first time asking "what do I actually need?" My style is warm but direct: I won't just nod along, I'll name what I'm noticing and challenge you to look at it. If you're ready to stop just managing and start actually feeling better, I'd love to work together.
