Hello! I'm Angela Lawrence, owner of Bell Counseling Services LLC. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Certified School Counselor with more than 20 years of counseling experience. My background includes working in both school and private practice settings, giving me extensive experience supporting individuals through life's challenges. I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions.
I’m a bilingual Spanish speaking Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) with a Master’s degree in Social Work with over ten years of experience. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families navigate substance use, life transitions, and the challenges that can come with change.
Hello there! I am an LPC and have over 10 plus years of experience in a variety of mental health backgrounds and over 5 years experience as a mental health provider. I have worked in many different environments including partial hospitalization, outpatient, working with Adoption with DCPP, and parenting group settings. I currently work with anxiety, depression, adjustment, and low self-esteem.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.
My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.
As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.
Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:
"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once
"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"
"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."
"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Union
Searching for therapists in Union starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Union, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still helping you find a therapist licensed in New Jersey. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.
Therapy in Union can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see your estimated cost before booking. You can review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
