In-person & virtual Psychotherapy in Downtown Jersey City
Hi, I'm Felipe, a board-certified counselor and psychotherapist specializing in psychodynamic therapy for individuals and couples.
I help those who feel stuck, whether from emotional distress, overwhelming anxiety and persistent worry, or relational patterns that impede meaningful connections. I also work with couples who want to repair prior injury to their relationship, navigate conflict and address issues of disconnection.
