Hi, I'm Tom! Over the past couple of years I have worked with people who have experienced high levels of physical and emotional trauma. My goal is to create a safe space to empower people to live their lives to the fullest.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I create space for people navigating visible and invisible weight. My work helps you feel grounded, seen, and aligned with yourself without having to shrink or explain your experience.
I'm Catie Eager, a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician practicing virtually in New Jersey, Washington D.C., and Virginia. I founded Lotus Mental Health Counseling to fill a gap I kept seeing: brilliant, capable people destroyed by relationships that quietly dismantled their sense of self.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 6 years in the mental health field. I specialize in adults ,young adults,family children, and adolescents, depression, anxiety, oppositional behaviors, self-esteem, trauma, and anger management.
Todd Bockarie is currently a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey. He’s been working in the Mental Health field since 2013 and now currently specializing in working with Athletes/ Men that live with Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorders and other common Mental Health Disorders.
If you’re looking for a therapist who will validate your feelings and gently (or not so gently) challenge your patterns, we might be a great fit. I bring warmth, honesty, humor, and accountability into the therapy room. I show up as a real human who will laugh with you, sit in the hard stuff, and call things out when they need to be called out.
Hi, I'm Haley! I'm an LCSW, Brooklyn born, New Jersey based, who has experience working in community-based mental health, a school setting, in-home counseling and seeing private clients. I am a certified DBT therapist, and have taken some courses for a doula certification.
I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with nearly two decades of experience supporting individuals and families through behavioral health and substance use challenges. My approach is grounded in trauma‐informed care, cultural sensitivity, and meeting people exactly where they are. I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.
I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Monmouth University and have worked across inpatient, outpatient, community, and addiction treatment settings. My background includes detox and MAT services, crisis stabilization, care coordination, and leading interdisciplinary teams. I also serve as a clinical instructor for BSN students, which keeps me connected to education, mentorship, and the next generation of nurses.

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.
