He creates a welcoming environment characterized by warmth, genuineness, understanding, and an appropriate sense of humor. Dr. Lamela believes that fostering open and honest communication is fundamental to effective therapy, and he is dedicated to building strong therapeutic connections.

His clinical approach is both client-centered and evidence-based, emphasizing the individuality of each client. Dr. Lamela tailors his interventions to align with the unique goals and needs of his clients, providing consistent support, validation, and reassurance throughout their journey. He deeply respects the courage it takes to share personal experiences with a therapist and honors this by meeting each client where they are—acknowledging their unique circumstances, readiness, and comfort level.

Through a collaborative process, Dr. Lamela helps clients navigate distressing events and find outcomes that align with their aspirations. He works closely with clients to examine their thoughts, emotions, relationships, behaviors, and past experiences, guiding them to identify pathways for positive change and strategies to achieve their goals. Each session is tailored to the individual, promoting personal growth and resilience.

Dr. Lamela’s extensive training provides him with a nuanced understanding of the complexities of the human experience. This depth of expertise enables him to deliver interventions that are ethical, culturally sensitive, and informed by his clients’ unique cultural contexts and lived experiences.

Dr. Lamela has worked extensively with adults and adolescents facing major life transitions, interpersonal relationship challenges, communication difficulties, depression, anxiety, grief, and stress. He also has significant experience treating individuals with trauma, mood disorders, and severe and persistent mental illness. In addition, he provides support to couples navigating relationship difficulties, helping them foster healthier and more fulfilling connections.

Dr. Lamela earned his first master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from William Paterson University.
