Who We Help

Our team of mental health providers have specializations that vary so we can help as many people as possible.

We help children, adolescents, teenagers, parents, adults, couples and families dealing with emotional stress, anxiety and depression and other difficulties to become happier, discover a greater sense of purpose, fulfillment, and significantly improve their relationships.

We seek to have a good quality of life which includes a positive self-esteem, healthy relationships, and a gratifying sense of purpose. In this path, we may encounter roadblocks that impact our ability to fulfill these goals and may have us feeling stuck. These roadblocks may come in the shape of anxiety, anger, fears, sadness, relationship conflicts, work related issues, traumas, and others closely related. When, despite our best effort, we are unable to overcome these roadblocks, seeking professional help could make the difference in regaining a sense of control over your life.

Some of our specializations include:

  • Overcoming depression, stress, anxiety and overwhelm
  • Managing conflicts
  • Improving relationships
  • Child counseling
  • Adolescent counseling
  • Professional/Entrepreneurial counseling
  • Couples counseling
  • Family counseling

No matter where you are in life, change is always possible. With Your Wellness Space, you have the support you need to make the changes you want in your life. Contact us today to schedule an appointment or book a complimentary 15-minute consultation call to ensure you are matched with the best-fitting therapist to support what you’re going through.

Though we currently do not take insurance, services are often partly covered under out-of-network benefits and we will be happy to assist you with this process.

Dr. Enmanuel Mercedes

Licensed Psychologist

NY Lic#: 021-027
NJ Lic#:: 35SI0056400

Born in Dominican Republic and raised in Newark, NJ, Dr. Mercedes earned his B.A. in psychology from Seton Hall and has been practicing in the greater New York area since 2008.

“I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of people that had a very positive impact in my life. There were programs and groups I was able to be a part of that assisted me through my development, as well as family and others who saw not only my potential, but also saw the needs that I was having as an individual and they were there for me. Through the support of others, I was able to overcome many of the challenges related to insecurity, related to fears.

When I was completing my doctorate program, which was one of the pivotal moments in my life, I found myself suffering from anxiety and panic attacks and dealing with a very difficult situation in a work environment. That led me to become even more passionate about being a mental health provider, helping individuals in the workplace experiencing distress, and helping business leaders in charge of taking care of others create a healthy supportive work environment.

I’m passionate about the importance of self care, wellness, and supporting others to deal with challenges as they come and live the best life possible from a mental health perspective.”

Anabelle Acosta

Client Care Coordinator

Anabelle Acosta is the client care coordinator at Your Wellness Space. She has a tremendous passion for mental wellness dating back to her collegiate studies. As an undergraduate at Pace University, she focused her studies on both Psychology and Project Management.

Immediately after graduation her career blossomed quickly and she was presented with opportunities to manage renovations for some of the most beautiful and prestigious homes in the tri-state area. While she was truly enjoying my career path, she was blessed with life’s biggest opportunity, becoming in mother. In December, 2019, her beautiful daughter, Emme was born. Her 8lb, 8oz, blue eyed blessing, inspired her to take a break from her career and enjoy motherhood.

During my time away from her career, she had much time for self reflection. Although she was pleased with my prior career success, she decided she wanted to be part of something that would be more meaningful to her and impactful among others. She immediately took the opportunity to join the team here at Your Wellness Space. “Being a part, no matter how big or small, of someone’s journey for self care and wellness is beyond rewarding for me. Along my life’s journey, I am so thankful for all of those that guided me towards a path of wellness. The best reciprocation I could imagine, is to use my career to pay my thanks forward!”
