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.
My Cherry Hill office, near Philadelphia, is accessible, well ventilated and private for in-person sessions. Online therapy from the privacy of your home is also available. Reach a supportive therapist who is one click away and can be accessed in any weather and in any mood. Do you have feelings of guilt, shame, traumatic memories or intrusive thoughts, family conflict, or have a family member you are worried about? With a variety of proven treatments, I partner with you to enable, empower and restore you to a healthy state of mind and good quality of life. You can expect that our interactions will be dynamic, and useful.
I support all lifestyle and relationship choices that are safe, sane and consensual. All family configurations are welcome. I am culturally competent and will support you in seeking to find peace and resolve internal or family conflict between religious beliefs, family attitudes and your identity or lifestyle choices.
You do not have to live with unbearable emotional pain, worry, intrusive memories and/or depression. Relief is just a phone call, text or email away.
I am here to walk with you on your journey, offering guidance that respects your individuality. If you're ready to take the next step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and let's start working together toward the future you envision. I have over fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Lehman College with Summa cum laude honors. I obtained my Master's degree from New York University and my Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University.
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.

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 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.
