I have been working in private practice for 3.5 years. I work primarily with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression and am especially passionate about helping clients build practical skills (boundary-setting, assertive communication, self-advocacy) so they can learn to advocate for their needs.

A LCSW with a wide range of experience working in various organizational and therapeutic settings. These settings include working with foster youth transitioning from high school into college, advocating and providing supports for homeless families, and assisting at-risk children.

I believe that long-standing problems do not necessarily require long-term therapy. By utilizing evidence-based treatments and focusing on interventions that create lasting change, my goal is to help clients make meaningful progress as efficiently as possible. Clients often describe me as patient, empathic, and easy to talk to. I work hard to understand your experiences from your perspective so that we can create a treatment plan that is personalized and practical.

Therapy with me is collaborative and active. Rather than simply discussing problems, we focus on developing skills and strategies that you can continue to use long after therapy ends. My goal is not to create dependence on therapy, but to help you become your own therapist by teaching techniques that promote resilience, confidence, and long-term emotional well-being.

Aligned Counseling & Therapy is for those who are tired of repeating patterns that no longer give them the life or relationships they want. Maybe you overthink conversations, worry about how others see you, struggle to say no, find yourself in relationships that leave you disappointed, or keep having the same argument with your partner or family. Maybe your motivation isn't what it used to be, you don't enjoy the things you used to, or life's changing, or work, school, or everyday life feel overwhelming. Together, we connect the dots to figure out what's not in alignment, and develop tools to help you move toward the life you want.

Hi! I am a licensed mental health therapist, currently practicing in 5 states (NJ, NC, FL, GA and TX).

I received my Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling and Psychology from LaSalle University, over 13 years ago.

My goal is to give you the tools needed to stop surviving, and start living an authentic life. In a safe and secure place, we will face the past, heal it and bring you to become the best version of yourself.

Good therapy should, at its core, feel like talking with a friend and that’s the kind of therapist I strive to be. Therapy is a two-way street - the best results are achieved when you are in the driver’s seat. But sometimes we all need someone to help us steer when the storm rolls in. Someone to help you figure out where you are on the map and then help you get where you want to go. I want to be that person for my clients

Raquel Aiello is a Licensed Professional Counselor. As a freshman in college, she took her first

psychology class and it soon became her passion. She obtained her B.A. in Psychology in 2004

from Goucher College in Maryland and went on to obtain her M.A. in Counseling from Fairleigh

Dickinson University in 2006. She has experience working with adults and youths struggling with

anxiety, depression, trauma, career changes, and relationship issues.

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps clients heal from trauma, reclaim self-trust, and create relationships rooted in consent, curiosity, and compassion. My work is grounded in EMDR, trauma-informed care, and systemic therapy. I also specialize in working with queer, trans, and polyamorous communities, helping clients explore identity, navigate complex relationships, and find safety in authenticity.

I approach therapy as a collaborative and affirming process—one where we slow down, notice what’s happening in your body, and make sense of your story without shame. My clinical background includes extensive training in dissociation, attachment, and complex trauma, as well as experience supporting survivors of narcissistic and relational abuse.

My goal is to offer a grounded, compassionate space for clients to rediscover their capacity for healing and wholeness.
