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 truly believe each person has the power to overcome any challenge they face but sometimes, we need a little guidance. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, it is my goal to help each person achieve their goals. I have over 10 years of experience working with many populations and I am trained in EMDR therapy .
In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.
We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.

I've spent my career in community mental health, working with adults, teens, couples, and families navigating real, everyday challenges - relationship stress, family conflict, financial pressure, and anxiety.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Suffolk
Searching for therapists in Suffolk starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Suffolk therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that align with your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach care.
In a smaller city like Suffolk, the number of local in-person options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can add more choice while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Virginia. Some people prefer an office setting, while others value the flexibility of virtual appointments. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultations, and how clearly their profile explains what to expect.
Therapy in Suffolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
