I'm Dana Boettinger, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in New Jersey. My background includes supervising intensive mental health programs - which means I'm comfortable working with people carrying real weight, not just everyday stress. What makes my approach different is that I look at your whole life. Sleep, movement, energy, relationships, how you're spending your days — we build from there, not just from the hour we're together. I believe real change happens between sessions, not only in them.
Hi, I'm Lauren, and I'm so glad you're here. I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and taking that first step isn't always easy. My hope is that from the moment we meet, you'll feel welcomed, heard, and never judged. With years of experience caring for individuals in medical and behavioral health settings, I've learned that healing begins when people feel safe enough to be themselves. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you can ask questions, share openly, and know that you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.
I wanted to become a psychotherapist since I was 9 years old, after reading an article written by a psychologist about fear. I got my BA in Psychology from Iona College and my master's from Yeshiva University. I began to provide psychotherapy after the aftermath of 9/11. I have provided psychotherapy at a hospital, schools, in-home, and at an outpatient clinic.

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.
