I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have been in the field since 2018. While pursuing my Masters degree at Georgian Court, I worked in community mental health doing in home visits.

Hi, I’m Doreen Pontius, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years of experience. I have advanced degrees in Psychology and Social Work, and my doctorate focused on how Mindfulness can help people connect with themselves.

Hi, my name is Geralda Gelus-Jules, DNP, PMHNP-BC, and I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I work with adults and young adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood changes, and life stressors.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and supportive. I believe healing happens when you feel truly heard, respected, and never judged. Together, we will explore what you are going through, identify patterns, and build a plan that may include medication, coping skills, lifestyle changes, and referrals for therapy when needed.
As a nurse practitioner, I combine medical knowledge with a holistic view of you as a whole person—mind, body, culture, family, and environment. My goal is to help you feel more stable, hopeful, and in control of your life again.
I am currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support you on your mental health journey.

I'm a Georgia Peach with a New Jersey Swag. I am from Newark, New Jersey but I lived in Georgia for about 15yrs. I have that southern touch along with that New Jersey toughness. I love helping people obtain their goals in life. I have been in the field of counseling for over20yrs. I know counseling works because I've personally tried it. Counseling is my 2nd career in life and my combination of education and life experiences tends to be a great match for helping others.

Adulthood can be an exciting time of growth and independence, but it can also come with overwhelming pressure, anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, and uncertainty about the future. I work with teens and young adults who may be struggling to manage academic demands, navigate friendships and relationships, build confidence, or adjust to the many transitions that come with this stage of life. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, develop practical coping skills, and feel more confident navigating life on your own terms.

I believe growth happens when you’re supported, seen, and equipped to move forward. If you’re ready to do the work, look in the mirror, and share your wisdom—I’m with you.
