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.

Find the right therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Toms River

Searching for therapists in Toms River starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress. As you compare Toms River therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. Provider bios can also help you understand each therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

In a smaller city like Toms River, local in-person appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across New Jersey while keeping care tied to a licensed New Jersey therapist. When narrowing your search, consider whether each therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work with your calendar, and provides the session format you prefer. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is available.

Therapy in Toms River can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show current availability, and are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists in Toms River, review bios, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
