My name is Adriana Arteta and I have 11 years of experience. I have worked with many different populations and now I am focusing now on adult individual therapy.
People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Others are navigating life transitions such as starting college, entering adulthood, changing careers, becoming a parent, caring for aging parents, or moving through perimenopause and menopause. Sometimes there isn’t a single crisis. Instead, there is a growing sense that life feels harder than it should, or that old ways of coping are no longer working.
I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are trying to manage the demands of everyday life while carrying a great deal beneath the surface. Many are bright, capable, and caring people who find themselves overthinking, emotionally exhausted, distracted, stuck in patterns of worry, or struggling to make space for their own needs. Together, we work to better understand what is keeping them stuck, develop practical tools, and create meaningful changes that support a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I am a very laid-back therapist. I value the therapeutic relationship we build. I view our experience as a travel we go on together to help remove obstacles leading to your chosen goals. This is also your safe place to talk about things you may not feel comfortable talking to with people in your day-to-day life. My approach is to provide a nonjudgmental safe space.
Did you experience trauma in childhood or adolescence? Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, fear, or depression? Do you feel misunderstood by others, judged, or find it challenging to connect with others? Therapy is a safe place where you can understand yourself better and learn to cope with these thoughts and feelings, which may be interfering with your happiness, health, and relationships.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakewood
Finding the right therapist in Lakewood, NJ starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Common reasons people seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.

A free phone consultation is another way to see if a provider feels like the right fit before committing.
