I want potential clients to know that I am a genuine person/ therapist. I will always be genuine and honest with you. I am very easy going, easy to talk with, and I believe one of my strengths is the ability to gain a client's trust- allowing the person to feel comfortable discussing any issue without fear of judgment. I have 25 years experience as a psychotherapist working with all ages from children to the elderly in correctional settings, substance abuse, and a 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.
I have worked on my own growth and awareness since I was 19 yrs old. Therapy helped change my life and old patterns that I developed in my early years. I have made tremendous changes in who I am and how I cope. I would like to help you do that too.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Newark starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Some people seek help with anxiety, depression, or trauma that may be compounded by experiences of discrimination or minority stress. Others want a space to explore identity, navigate coming out, or work through relationship dynamics. A provider who is experienced in LGBTQIA+ care can meet you where you are — so you can focus on what brought you to therapy rather than explaining your identity.
When evaluating providers, look for licensed professionals (such as an LCSW, LPC, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who list LGBTQIA+ care as a specialty and describe their affirming approach in their bio. Reading about a provider's style, background, and areas of focus can help you decide if they're a good match before you book. On Headway, providers share detailed bios, and many offer a free phone consultation so you can connect before committing.
Therapy in Newark can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
