She has a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and uses a collaborative, non-judgmental approach to help clients heal + grow emotionally.
“I love working with clients and helping them gain insight, break through old patterns, and ultimately thrive,” Kristy said.

^ Morgan Hopper
Morgan Hopper is a licensed associate counselor in New Jersey, working with individual adults and adolescents both in-person and virtually out of the Hoboken office location.
Morgan tailors her approach to the client’s needs in an effort to meet each individual where they are at in their therapeutic journey. Her intention is not to walk in her clients’ shoes — she is there so clients learn how to walk more confidently in theirs with her support.
Morgan specializes in anxiety, depression, relationships involving power-based or interpersonal violence, grief + loss, prenatal + postnatal care, and substance use. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). She has additionally been certified in Compassion Skills and Ethical Online Counseling to hone her skills for telehealth.
^ René Bavosa
René Bavosa is a licensed professional counselor in New Jersey, working with adolescent and adult individuals via telehealth.
René utilizes an integrative approach to create a non-judgmental, empathic, understanding, and honest space. As a clinician, she aims to mold the therapeutic experience to be what each individual person needs to succeed.
“My clients choose which direction they wish to go in, I’m there to hold the flashlight to guide them through the unknown. That flashlight could be coping skills, support, knowledge, or challenging a current perspective,” René said.
René specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, substance use, and the family/loved ones of those with substance use disorders. She has received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT).
