Our Team

Specializing in perinatal mental health, fertility, and women’s wellness.

I’m Dr. Kristina Vande Vrede, a clinical psychologist passionate about advancing maternal mental health. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Long Island University in New York, and I bring over a decade of experience to my work. As a psychologist, supervisor, and practice owner based in New Jersey, I specialize in women’s health and received my PMH-C certification from PSI in 2021. My clinical focus includes perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, fetal loss and stillbirth, traumatic reproductive medical experiences (TRMR), fertility complications, and dyad therapy supporting mother-baby attachment.

In addition to my clinical work, I’ve served as a Clinical Supervisor and consultant for outpatient agencies, graduate schools, and local churches. These roles have allowed me to help improve outreach and clinical service delivery, something I find deeply fulfilling.

Outside the therapy room, I’m committed to giving back to my community, whether it’s through volunteering at my church or expressing myself through piano. I also prioritize staying on top of emerging practices in psychology by actively participating in specialized trainings and workshops. My goal is to always provide the highest quality care in the ever-evolving landscape of clinical and perinatal mental health.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and trained therapist who experiences great satisfaction in guiding people who may not yet realize their potential of experiencing life altering change.

I have learned through this work, ongoing training, and life experience that humans are often greater than a sum of their known parts. Some of these parts are unrecognized because early in life we learned things about ourselves that are not always accurate. While many of these parts evolve with different life experiences, some remain deeply embedded in our memories or untested belief systems. The painful parts might be out of someone’s conscious awareness, yet they impact daily living much more than people realize. With this awareness, I see the strengths in someone who sees their limitations. I see the trauma that a person may not attribute to their challenges and how to reduce the trauma effects. I see the promise in someone who does not fully recognize their own successes or their potential.

Most of all, I believe that through a combination of assorted therapy resources, tools, and strategies, most people have the capacity to feel better about themselves. This work feels like a privilege to me. I am thankful and honored to be able to walk alongside of people for a short while on their life journeys.

For me, therapy is a collaborative and judgement-free zone, where you can feel heard, validated, and understood. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel comfortable being yourself and open to exploring the challenges that brought you here.

As a Licensed Associate Counselor, I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families from diverse cultural background and developmental stages. I have supported my clients in exploring anxiety, depression, grief and loss, substance misuse, difficult life transitions, behavioral concerns, and difficulties with emotional regulation and relationships.

I am fluent in English and Spanish, and I value the significance of culturally responsive care and cultural humility. I strive to build a genuine and strong relationship grounded in trust, openness, and respect.

Specializing in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and family conflict

I am a Licensed Associate Counselor who specializes in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and spirituality. I obtained a Bachelor of Science concentrated in Clinical and Behavioral Health, a Bachelor of Arts in Public Health, and a minor in Philosophy from Lehigh University. My time in undergraduate oriented me towards focusing on how as relational beings, we are shaped by our earliest attachments and sustained by the connections we form throughout our lives. Through hands-on research, clinical experience, and delving into existing literature, I work from the theory that when these relationships are impacted by past wounds or unresolved experiences, we can find ourselves feeling stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by patterns that no longer serve us. Most often these patterns manifest as anxiety and depression and by treating the wound at the root of it all, I believe this approach can offer true healing.

During my time at New York University for my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness, I clinically focused on working with children, adolescents, and adults, and I have experience supporting individuals and families impacted by trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from attachment and psychodynamic theory and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients understand how past experiences continue to shape present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I believe that the strongholds of the past do not have to be permanent. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling.

Specializing in anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, grief & loss, and perinatal mental health

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Fordham University. I completed my undergraduate degree at Seton Hall University majoring in Marketing and Philosophy. My clinical experience includes providing counseling, advocacy, and emotional support to a wide range of populations across the lifespan. I strive to create a collaborative and compassionate therapeutic environment where clients feel safe exploring difficult emotions and experiences.

I work with children, adolescents, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, grief and loss, life transitions, and maternal mental health. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals and families during seasons of change, helping clients build resilience, develop insight, and feel empowered in their healing journey. I believe that healing begins within a strong therapeutic relationship and that each person deserves individualized care that honors their unique story, strengths, and goals.

I take a person-centered approach, tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. I incorporate evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and play therapy techniques when working with children. I am also certified in Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), an evidence-based treatment for OCD, as well as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My therapeutic style is integrative and collaborative, helping clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical tools for lasting growth and meaningful change.

I’m Henry Prinz, a Licensed Associate Counselor passionate about helping families and couples build enduring, healthy relationships. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Messiah University, and I bring diverse professional experience to my practice. Based in New Jersey, I specialize in couples, family, and adolescent therapy. My clinical approach draws from a range of modalities but is anchored in the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach built on decades of longitudinal research studying what makes relationships succeed.

Before my clinical work, I spent over six years as a management consultant advising companies across various sectors on complex business improvement initiatives. This background deeply informs how I help clients untangle relational patterns, clarify personal histories, brainstorm creative solutions, and implement effective coping skills.

In addition to practicing with Waypoint, I work with adolescents and families at a Bergen County substance use facility leveraging 12-step and DBT frameworks to support lasting recovery.

I am committed to providing thoughtful, research-backed care tailored to each unique client situation. I'm available for therapy in the evenings and on weekends.

Marissa is a Master of Social Work candidate at Rutgers University School of Social Work, where she is specializing in perinatal mood disorders and anticipates graduating in December 2026. She joins Waypoint Psychological Services as an intern with a clinical focus on the perinatal population, bringing specialized training and hands-on experience in reproductive health, infertility, and the emotional landscape of matrescence.

Marissa works with individuals and couples navigating infertility, reproductive loss, and the many emotional layers of trying to conceive, as well as those adjusting to life with a new baby. Her training includes certification in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International, as well as specialized coursework in fertility counseling and pregnancy and infant loss.

Marissa has a particular passion for supporting women through matrescence — the profound shift in identity that comes with becoming a mother. She believes this transition deserves real clinical attention, and she brings both expertise and warmth to helping clients feel less alone in it.

Before pursuing social work, Marissa built a career in strategic planning and finance, an unconventional path that shapes the thoughtful, grounded presence she brings to her clinical work today. Outside the office, she enjoys yoga, hiking, and cooking, and is, most importantly, a mother herself.
