Adam Martin

MAPC, MFT, DMin

With more than 25 years of ministry experience, Adam has learned that while he may have studied theology in seminary, very few people want to meet with him to talk about theology. They do, however, want to talk about their pain. Wanting to be better equipped for those conversations, Adam began pursuing further education in counseling. Two Masters degrees and a Doctorate later, Adam considers it an honor to help people navigate the emotional distress that often comes with life.

Adam has successfully worked with individuals to overcome depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relational challenges. An area of specialty for Adam is in working with couples to help restore marriages that have experienced communication issues, intimacy challenges, and betrayal. Adam believes there is a unique intersection between our pain and God’s presence, and seeks to integrate the timeless wisdom of God with empirically-supported therapeutic strategies.

Adam is married to his college sweetheart Dana, and she is still his favorite person to this day. They are blessed with two adult children, Matthew and Emma. When he is not spending time with family or working, Adam enjoys, surfing, golf, or almost anything outdoors.

Cindy Iarussi

LMFT

In her senior year at The College of New Jersey, majoring in Education of the Deaf, Cindy realized that her true calling was not teaching, but counseling. Her greatest joy was found in spending time with students outside of school, listening to their stories and listening for solutions.

With a master’s degree in Rehabilitation and Counseling from New York University, she initially worked only with clients who were deaf and deaf-blind. As her caseload expanded to include other populations, she noticed a trend; change happened more quickly when she included client families in treatment. This realization led her to return to The College of New Jersey to pursue another postgraduate degree, in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Cindy’s treatment approach is integrative and she believes that none of us exists in a vacuum. Therefore, solutions and coping skills must be meaningful and actionable based on the systems in which we live. This supports sustainable change, regardless of the presenting problems.

Cindy’s love for God fuels her passion for serving others and partnering with them on their journey to emotional healing. Her specialties include: relational challenges, substance use disorders, trauma recovery, eating disorders, OCD, and mood disorders.

Cindy has been married to her husband Peter for 44 years. They have two adult children and two grandchildren. She also has a Portuguese Water Dog named Willow, who frequently works alongside her in treatment.
