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.
Hello! I’m Noel Fournarakis, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with approximately 9 years of experience in the mental health field. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to support individuals across a wide range of levels of care, from residential treatment to outpatient therapy. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, postpartum anxiety and depression, and addiction.
My diverse clinical experience allows me to meet each client where they are and tailor my approach to their individual needs. I believe healing begins with having a space where you feel heard, safe, and empowered. My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients develop meaningful tools for navigating life’s challenges. I offer both in-person and virtual sessions.
As your therapist, I create a space where you can slow down and reconnect with yourself. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in belief that meaningful change begins within. Whether you’re managing anxiety, relationship challenges, identity shifts, or past experiences that still affect you, we move at your pace with practical tools and honest conversation.
Finding the right therapist is a personal journey, and I believe it's important that you feel understood, supported, and empowered from the very start.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, and have been working in the field since 2019. I have experience helping children, teens, young adults, adults, and couples navigate life’s challenges. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, attention difficulties, family changes, identity questions, grief, or relationship issues — you are not alone, and healing is possible.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing behavioral health treatment services across medical, inpatient, outpatient, and insurance-based settings.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and structured, grounded in evidence-based practices while remaining responsive to each client’s unique cultural, emotional, and life context.
Clients often describe my style as warm, supportive, and direct. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space while also helping clients set realistic goals and move toward meaningful change.
I work well with adults seeking support for emotional well-being, coping skills, and improved quality of life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Jersey
Searching for therapists in New Jersey starts with finding the right fit for your needs, location, and schedule. Across the state, therapy options can vary between urban, suburban, and rural areas, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with. That may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. You can also look for training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Your search may look different in Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, South Jersey, or a smaller New Jersey community. Some people prefer an in-person therapist close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include before you book.
The cost of therapy in New Jersey can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual or in-person options in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
