About Guy
I chose to enter the mental health field to apply real life experience toward helping others navigate meaningful change. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Saint Joseph’s University, where I studied sociology, philosophy, and the Italian language, and later completed my Master’s in Social Work at Monmouth University.
Early in my career, I worked in both outpatient and partial hospitalization settings, where I gained extensive experience treating individuals across a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. This work shaped a practical, clinically grounded approach to complex cases and reinforced the importance of individualized, effective care.
In addition to my private practice, I serve as a Director at Minding Your Mind, where I help deliver mental health education to schools, businesses, and community organizations. Across all settings, my work is rooted in clarity, accountability, and helping people move forward with purpose and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You don't need a clear diagnosis or a "bad enough" reason. If you're noticing a pattern you want to understand or change, that's reason enough to start.
-
The 15-minute consultation is a conversation, not an intake. You can share a bit about what is bringing you in, ask any questions you have about how I work, and get a sense of whether this feels like the right fit. There is no pressure or commitment involved.
-
Individual sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients start with weekly sessions to build momentum, though frequency can shift over time based on your goals and where you are in the process.
-
I am an out-of-network provider. I do not bill insurance directly, but I can provide a monthly superbill that you may submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement if your plan includes out-of-network benefits. I recommend calling your insurance provider to ask about your out-of-network mental health coverage before we begin.
-
Sessions are $200 for 50 minutes. I offer a sliding scale for those who need it, and I can provide the documentation needed to seek reimbursement through your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits.
-
A sliding scale means the fee can be reduced based on what you're able to pay, rather than a fixed rate for everyone. If cost is a barrier, it's worth bringing up during your consultation so we can figure out what works.
-
After each session, a superbill (insurance receipt) is submitted automatically. If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits you can be reimbursed the amount. I can confirm your out-of-network benefits before we begin.
