Lauren Garrity

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.

Joslainez Gonzalo

Therapist

Virtual • Pompton Lakes, NJ


I work with children, teens, and young adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure of themselves. I know it can be hard to open up, especially if you’re used to holding things in. I’ve seen how powerful it is when people feel truly heard and supported.

I currently support middle and high school students in a therapeutic school setting and continue to provide in home therapy and family-based therapy; as well as facilitate process groups for adolescents and parent support groups.

I focus on challenges on anxiety, mood changes, trauma, and self-esteem challenges- areas that can deeply impact how someone sees themselves and moves through the world.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish and value creating a culturally responsive and welcoming space. Therapy with me is collaborative — we move at your pace, but we also work toward real growth. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start. We’ll work through it together.
