Hi, I'm Lauren, and I'm so glad you're here. I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and taking that first step isn't always easy. My hope is that from the moment we meet, you'll feel welcomed, heard, and never judged. With years of experience caring for individuals in medical and behavioral health settings, I've learned that healing begins when people feel safe enough to be themselves. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you can ask questions, share openly, and know that you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Moorestown, NJ


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor based in New Jersey, with experience beginning in 2021. I earned my Master of Social Work from Rutgers University where I built a strong foundation in working with adults navigating complex emotional and behavioral health challenges. Over the years, I've worked with people dealing with anxiety, depression, coping with aging, life transitions, bipolar disorder, substance use, trauma, LGBTQIA+ identity, and the weight that comes from carrying too much for too long. I work individually with adults and seniors, and I understand what it feels like to want change but not quite know where to start. My goal is to help you figure that out, one step at a time.

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


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.

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Newark

Finding addiction therapists in Newark starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, opioid-related concerns, gambling, or other behavioral patterns. Some therapists focus on approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, relapse prevention, or harm reduction. If medication may be part of your care, you may also want a prescriber on your care team.

Newark offers a range of mental health care options, from in-person offices near downtown, University Heights, and the Ironbound to virtual appointments that may fit more easily into a busy schedule. When comparing therapists, look at appointment times, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to addiction care. Recovery can involve changes over time, so it helps to find a therapist who has experience with harm reduction, understands substance use concerns, and uses clear, respectful communication.

Addiction therapy in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients and share detailed bios, so you can compare fit, review estimated costs, confirm coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
