Find a therapist in New Jersey — covered by insurance

As a licensed psychotherapist, I believe that mental health is essential for maintaining happiness, well-being, and a sense of security. While it may seem counterintuitive, seeking help is a courageous act, and showing vulnerability is a true sign of strength, not weakness.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, balance, and self-understanding. I earned my degree in Social Work from Rutgers University and have three years of experience in the field.

I’ve worked with a diverse range of clients across various settings, and I primarily support adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship stressors, and substance use.

I am a dedicated outpatient therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Kean University. My clinical experience includes working in Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) settings, where I have supported both teens and adults with a wide range of mental health diagnoses. My primary passion lies in trauma work, and I approach therapy from a trauma-informed perspective that emphasizes safety, empowerment, and individualized care.

Hello, I am glad you are here. Taking the first step towards your mental health is a big step, and I want you to know that you will be welcome with kindness, understanding, and zero judgment.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a unique background. Before becoming a provider, I spent 9 years as a registered nurse working closely with people experiencing mental health challenges. That experience taught me the importance of listening, understanding each person’s story, and treating the whole person not just the diagnosis. I earned my degree from Walden University and provide care for adolescents and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder. My goal is to create a safe space where you feel heard, supported, and involved in your care.

I am a New Jersey based (though licensed in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania) psychotherapist trained in dual diagnosis and a certified trauma specialist for adults and adolescents. Over the last decade, I have worked with a diverse client base focusing on trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship issues. I believe everyone has the capacity for positive change and consider it an honor to support individuals on their journey toward healing.

Most of my clinical training is focused in modalities proven effective for individuals suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) certified therapist. Further, I completed CBT for PTSD therapy training.

I am also a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), New Jersey Chapter.

I am here to walk with you on your journey, offering guidance that respects your individuality.

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.
