With a focus on Intensive In-Community intervention, our providers pride themselves on being culturally competent, diversely trained, and experienced, while adhering to the highest ethical standards as they serve the youth, families, and agencies they partner with throughout the State of New Jersey.

Therapists possess active LPC, LCSW, LCADC, and/or LMFT licenses in the state of New Jersey. We also contract Master's level LAC and LSW therapists who are in pursuit of independent New Jersey licensure and current contracts.

Therapists specialize in substance abuse rehabilitation, complex trauma, sexual offense, and victimization rehabilitation, gender identity and fluidity, family therapy, and/or fire-setting as well as treatment for anxiety, depression, and ADHD in an intensive in-community setting. Licensed therapists also provide Biopsychosocial and substance abuse-specific evaluations in accordance with the standards set by the New Jersey Division of Children and Families.

Chris Vella LPC, LCADC, ACS, owner of The Warren Center for Wellness and Therapy has over 24 years of experience serving youth and families in the state of New Jersey both in residential care and private practice and has provided a clinical presentation at the request of the Deputy Director of the Division of Children and Families on complex trauma intervention for the executive directors of the New Jersey State Care Management Organizations.
