Therapist

Virtual • Little Silver, NJ


Hi, I’m Lauren, and I’m so glad you found me!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges.

My practice is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I believe therapy is a space where you can feel truly seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, or simply seeking personal growth, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs.

My approach integrates evidence-based modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, and solution- focused therapy, which will always be guided by your goals and values. Clients often describe me as warm, empowering, and down-to-earth. I strive to create a safe and affirming environment where healing feels possible and change feels achievable.

Outside the therapy room, you can find me running around the town, working out at the gym or at the beach (weather permitted). I'm a laidback, beach girl who loves to stay active. I bring that same sense of presence into my work with clients.

If you’re ready to begin—or just curious about what therapy might offer—I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Deirdre Arato

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.

Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Newark

Finding couples therapists in Newark starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. You may want to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist trained in couples methods like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.

Newark offers a range of local therapy options, while nearby commute patterns, transit access, and work schedules can shape what feels practical. For couples therapy, the right fit also needs to work for both partners. Consider appointment availability, virtual or in-person format, and whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation to discuss fit before booking. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they structure sessions, communicate with couples, and approach relationship concerns.

Couples therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket responsibility before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and may accept a range of insurance plans depending on your location and coverage. You can review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
