Therapist

Virtual & in-person

1 Main Street, Flemington, NJ

Finding the right therapist can feel like a lot, and I want to make that first step a little easier. I'm Lauren, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience.


My clinical experience has included community-based mental health, schools, maternal health, substance use and recovery, and private practice. Working across these settings has allowed me to work with people from diverse backgrounds and at many different stages of life. I understand that no two people are the same, and I tailor therapy to your individual needs, goals, and experiences.


These experiences shaped the thing I believe most: meaningful growth happens when you are met exactly where you are, without judgment and without being rushed.

Whether you are managing anxiety, processing trauma, navigating grief, or simply feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I would love to be part of your path

forward. Reach out when you are ready.

Felicia Herrero

Felicia Herrero

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi! I am Felicia. I am a LCSW in the State of New Jersey as well as a PMH-C (certified by postpartum support international). I transitioned from working with adults & teens to also expanding to working with women experiencing PMAD (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) in 2024 as well. My ideal client is a young adult or woman experiencing a difficult time in their life or in motherhood. I love empowering & educating clients to overcome these difficulties. My ideal client is looking for a therapist who does not judge them, is caring, and is dynamic in the therapeutic process while cheering them on!

My calling to working with young adults and mothers is my own life experiences. I have made it my mission to stay up to date with the best continuing education, and resources in order to empower my clients. Many of my clients feel more confident in working together after the initial few sessions. I want my clients to feel HOPEFUL about their future.

It can be so difficult to ask for help. I would love to have that be the hardest part of the process of working together. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, safe, and not feel judged by anything you need to share. I strive to make therapy a space that you feel challenged enough to grow but safe enough to be vulnerable in the process. Let's grow!

Keri Pinelli

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


With over ten years of clinical experience providing both individual and group counseling across diverse settings, I am well-equipped to support you through life's heaviest transitions. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, grief, and everyday life stressors where you just need an unbiased sounding board. Additionally, I am deeply well-versed in the specialized treatment needs of perinatal and postpartum populations, as well as first responders and Veterans.

A major focus of my practice is supporting women navigating the profound shifts of pregnancy, fertility challenges, and the postpartum period. These journeys can be beautiful, but they can also feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or the intense stress of becoming a new mother, please know you don’t have to carry it alone. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel deeply heard, supported, and understood.

Whether you are navigating a complex maternal mental health challenge or coping with severe daily stress, I bring a grounded, highly versatile approach to your care. Let’s work together to help you rediscover your strength and find your footing.
