As a counselor specializing in children, adolescents, and young adults, I provide a compassionate and culturally responsive space for young clients to explore their emotions, navigate life’s challenges, and build resilience. With a deep understanding of the unique dynamics within South Asian families, I help bridge generational and cultural gaps that often impact mental health, communication, and identity development.
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.
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.
In therapy, it's important for you to know that I'm here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely. My approach is collaborative and compassionate—I’ll work with you to understand your experiences and help you move toward meaningful change. I value honesty, curiosity, and respect, and I’ll always meet you where you are emotionally and mentally. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we begin; we’ll navigate this process together at your pace.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Teaneck
Searching for therapists in Teaneck starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Their profile can show whether they use methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other approaches that may fit what you want from therapy.
Teaneck is a smaller city, so nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search across New Jersey while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may look like.
Therapy in Teaneck 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 estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
