I have15 years of dedicated experience helping individuals overcome obstacles and thrive. "My goal is to help you reach yours."

Whether you are dealing with a major life transition, managing daily stress, or working through deeper emotional hurdles, I am here to help you find your footing. I’m Natalie, an LCSW with a decade and a half of diverse experience in the mental health field.

I am a dual Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 16 years of healthcare experience and 10 years in advanced practice. My background in critical care, hospital medicine, primary care, and behavioral health allows me to provide comprehensive, whole-person care that addresses both mental and physical well-being.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, stress, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know that you've landed somewhere safe. I'm a licensed therapist with three years of experience working with adults, and I specialize in trauma, anxiety, life transitions and self-worth.

I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach for processing trauma and the experiences that continue to shape how we feel about ourselves and the world. I approach every client through a trauma-informed lens, which means I understand that what you're dealing with today often has roots that go deeper than the surface — and I'll meet you wherever you are in that process.

If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, a breakup, divorce, low self-esteem, or the effects of an emotionally unhealthy relationship, you don't have to face it alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can gain insight, build resilience, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change.

I am a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I have experience providing counseling services in private practice, schools, hospitals, assisted living, and correctional settings. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs, helping you build on your strengths and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I'm Lauren McFarland, an LCADC and Licensed Social Worker with 9 years of experience helping adults navigate substance use, addiction, and recovery. My specialty isn't just intreating addiction — it's in understanding what's underneath it. Most of the people I work with aren't struggling because they lack willpower. They're struggling because of underlying issues going unaddressed for years, and substances became the fastest way to feel okay. I work with that full picture. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, and Carelon Behavioral Health — so cost is rarely a barrier to getting started.

Are you finding it hard to navigate everyday life? Are your relationships suffering? If you answered “yes” to these questions, please know you CAN live a different life. Relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and many other problems are challenging, to say the least. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, learn coping strategies, and improve your relationships. You do not have to go it alone when therapy is available.

I regularly work with individuals facing a variety of life's diverse challenges including anxiety/ panic, family-of-origin concerns, depression, maternal mental health, transition to parenthood, trauma, grief/ loss, sexual issues, and career related concerns. I also have a specialization in sex and relationship therapy. Please note, I do not provide couple or family therapy services on insurance as these forms of therapy are not recognized by insurances. If you'd like couple or family services, I provide out of network services and can also provide a sliding scale based on your income/ genuine financial need.

My clients are often seeking a combination of clarity, coping skills, and in general -- more ease and happiness in their daily life. I also have a unique specialization in "relationship therapy for one" where we unpack what might be keeping you stuck or unhappy when it comes to your overall relationship health/ satisfaction.

I have been a licensed therapist for over a decade and received my training at state of the art educational institutes including Syracuse University and other hospital and outpatient centers across NY and Manhattan. I have also sought out ongoing participation in professional clinical consultation groups with some of the most influential therapists and thought leaders of our time. These varied and diverse professional training experiences enable me to provide the best possible care to each client I serve. In addition, I also provide training and mentorship for new therapists looking to specialize in sex and relationship health.

I am a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 19 years of experience. I earned my master’s degree from Rutgers University and completed a post-master’s certificate in counseling at Kean University. I work with adults and college students experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-doubt, and life transitions. My style is warm, practical, and caring but honest. Services are available in English and Spanish.
