Meet our Healing Arts Associates
Carol Carlson, Ph.D.
Dr. Carlson was the Clinical Manager of the Employee Assistance Program at Morristown Memorial Hospital (serving local and national contracts) from 1988 to 1997. She took time off to raise her daughter and returned to the field as the Group Facilitator for Caring Choices in Mountain Lakes. Because she also enjoyed the healing atmosphere of the Imbrogno Chiropractic and Healing Arts Center, she became a part-time member of their office staff. Feeling such an affinity with her colleagues, it was a natural transition for her to offer her services as a Reiki Master and Energy Therapist at the Advanced Chiropractic of Montclair.
SPECIALTIES AND SERVICES
As a Reiki Master with a Doctorate in Psychology, Dr. Carlson specializes in intuitive energy work that is grounded in academic scholarship. With over twenty years of experience working with a wide variety of clients, Dr. Carlson uses a spiritually guided, mind-body approach to understanding and improving emotional, social, and physical functioning.
Reiki is an ancient Japanese method of spiritual healing that improves the flow of a person’s energy to reduce stress and discomfort while increasing their vitality and well-being. The client relaxes fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner uses her hands to direct healing energy to various parts of the client’s body. The Reiki energy allows muscles to relax and increases the blood flow to treated areas, which in turn quickens the healing process. Reiki promotes psychological and spiritual growth, improves physical health and mental clarity, and releases stress and tension.
EDUCATION
Dr. Carlson began her training in the healing arts at the Wyndham Foundation in New York City with Eunice Zimmerman in the late 1970s, learning meditation and various healing techniques. She received a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Radford University in 1982 and a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Ohio University in 1990. She became a Reiki Master with a Teacher Training Certificate from Brett Bevell at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York in 2012. More recently she completed Intensive Training as a Spiritual Response Therapist (SRT) in 2016. She has also studied The Emotion Code, to add that innovative technique to her clinical practice.
OUTSIDE THE OFFICE
Carol likes to balance her busy lifestyle with a wide range of personal and professional activities. She enjoys many forms of creative expression, including painting, pottery, stained glass, and making jewelry. She also enjoys hiking and kayaking with her husband and daughter.

Anne Cioffi
Patient-focused and service-oriented are just a few of the words most often used to describe Anne Cioffi. As the founder and CEO of the Integrative Skin Center, Anne leverages over a decade of experience as a licensed medical esthetician. Her practice focuses on the mind-body connection, where she uses a combination of her medical background and holistic principles to achieve the highest levels of health and beauty.
Anne has built a distinguished and innovative career in healthcare, beginning as a dental assistant. With over three decades of experience, Anne served patients during cosmetic dental and oral surgery. She naturally connects with patients, guiding and educating them through the most complex procedures. During her experiences, she was also immediately attracted to the health of the skin and dermatology and transitioned to working in dermatology as a licensed medical esthetician for over 10 years.
As her expertise grew, she gained invaluable knowledge and insights on the relationship with the mind-body connection, embracing the practice of how nutrition and supplements impact the skin, gut, and microbiome. She gained invaluable certifications as an esthetician, including facial cupping, gua sha, and lymphatic facial massage, and is certified in several medical procedures, including microneedling, dermaplaning, and chemical peels. Anne is also a brow expert, utilizing exacting mapping and sculpting techniques.
With the understanding that the skin is a mirror to health, Anne embraces Western medical procedures and Eastern principles in her practice, including Ayurvedic and Chinese practices. This is her specialty and focus of an approach that emphasizes natural results, not medication- driven treatment. Because of her deeply held passions and commitments, she thrives on education, both for herself and her patients.
She was also driven to embrace the use of clean products after she was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago and promotes a healthy lifestyle throughout her practice. Anne customizes and focuses on the individual, believing that complete care begins at home.
Education
Anne’s educational resume includes board certification training and preparation with the Artistic Academy, training at Derma Concepts, and the LearnSkin Institute.
Outside the Office
In her free time, Anne enjoys walking, spending time at the beach, and exercising. She is happily married and the proud mother of two daughters and her dog, Joey.
