Erin Sauer

Erin Sauer

MSW, LSW

Hi! My name is Erin, and I am a licensed social worker. I hold a B.A. in Communications and a Master of Social Work degree, both from Rutgers University. Social work and the field of mental health have always been of great interest to me. The brain is an amazing organ and can be both the source of our successes and our struggles, sometimes simultaneously. 


I seek to empower my clients with empathy, support, and education, no matter what brings them to therapy. Everyone has inner resilience and strength even at their most vulnerable. A behavior does not define a person, one’s current trajectory is not one’s final trajectory, and as humans, we are not simply our experiences on our worst or best days. Therefore, there is always hope for positive change even when it doesn’t seem possible. Humans can do amazing things! I believe therapy can be impactful not only for those dealing with mental health disorders but also for those who feel stuck, experience languishing, or continually repeat patterns that aren’t serving them anymore.


My strengths are in understanding and coping with anxiety and depression, relational and family experiences, generational impacts, life transitions and grief, postpartum challenges, and understanding addictive behaviors.


I look forward to working with all my clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences to find solutions to what brings them to therapy. Mine is a strengths-based approach that incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and the teaching of coping skills, mindfulness, and reframing, to best support, you, the client.

MA, LAMFT

Hi, I’m Kiana M. Watkins, a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Widener University and completed my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy at National University, where I also received certification in Trauma-Informed Systemic Therapy.


I’m passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where individuals, couples, and families feel heard, valued, and empowered. My experience includes working with clients navigating anxiety, depression, self-harm, developmental disabilities, self-esteem challenges, and relationship struggles. Whether working individually or with couples and families, I strive to foster understanding, connection, and emotional healing.

 

I draw from Emotion-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and various other therapeutic approaches to meet each client where they are and support their unique journey. My goal is to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity, growth, and well-being.


As someone who cares deeply about mental health advocacy, especially within the African-American community, I’m committed to helping break the stigma that so often surrounds getting help. Every person deserves the chance to heal and thrive, and I’m here to support that process, one step, one story, and one relationship at a time.

MA, LPC

I'm so glad you stopped by, and I am excited to work with you. Each client is wonderfully unique, just as their challenges and aspirations are. My approach to therapy stems from my belief that every individual deserves a tailored, personalized strategy to address their specific needs and goals. 


The rewards of this journey can be genuinely transformative, allowing you to make real-time progress and achieve the positive changes you seek, all while receiving the support you deserve. It's important to acknowledge that building a therapeutic relationship takes time and that real change is a journey, not a sprint to the finish line. 


My primary treatment modality is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), complemented by an Eclectic Approach that draws from various therapeutic theories. Applying what we discuss in our sessions to real-life situations is vital to see genuine change. Over my years in practice, I've gained extensive experience in understanding the unique difficulties and challenges different populations face. 


I've worked with clients dealing with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, LGTBQ issues, childhood trauma, trauma grief, parenting difficulties, behavior modification, and stress management. I'm available for telehealth appointments only.

Caitlin Ferrell

Caitlin Ferrell

MS, LPC

Hello there! I'm Caitlin, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I'm passionate about helping individuals, especially children and adolescents, navigate their emotional challenges. One of the critical approaches I embrace is the client-centered therapy model, which places the client at the center of the therapeutic process. This approach means that I prioritize your unique needs, values, and goals throughout our sessions. Each person is the expert in their own life, and I'm here to facilitate your personal growth and healing journey.


In addition to the client-centered approach, I incorporate play therapy and sand play techniques. These creative and expressive methods are particularly effective when working with children and adolescents. They provide a non-verbal and engaging way for clients to communicate their emotions, resolve conflicts, and build coping skills. I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, including those who struggle with symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, and autism. 


I understand the unique challenges that each of these conditions presents and tailor my approach to suit individual needs. Collaboration is a fundamental aspect of my therapy style.

I have spent the last ten years providing counseling services to adolescents and adults experiencing a range of personal and mental health issues. 

 

The decision to begin therapy is not always an easy one. It is important to me that I help create a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental space to explore the issues that bring you in. I believe that all people have the right to self-determination. As such, I take a client-centered, strengths-based approach to working with people. I do not think that one type of intervention works for all people. Instead, I utilize several treatment interventions including, but not limited to, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy. My specialties include Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Illness, LGBTQIA+, Stress Management, and Coping Skills.

Our initial session together is a crucial starting point in our therapeutic journey, typically lasting an hour or slightly longer.

My practice is firmly rooted in a goal-oriented approach, where we work together to outline clear objectives for your therapy.


I offer both telehealth and in-person services in the Mount Laurel area. I'm dedicated to providing flexible options to suit your needs and preferences.

Lauren Clements

MS, LPC

Welcome! My name is Lauren. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am deeply passionate about working with individuals of all ages. My expertise particularly shines in interacting with younger children, teenagers, and children along the autistic spectrum where I create a nurturing and empathetic environment for each individual to feel safe and understood. I believe in the unique potential of every person and tailor my approach to meet their specific needs, building a foundation of trust and empathy.

 

In my practice, I also work closely with parents, providing them with supportive strategies to establish effective limits and structure at home. This not only aids in the child’s development but also strengthens family dynamics, fostering a harmonious environment. My role extends to offering couple therapy, where I apply my skills to assist couples in strengthening their relationships through improved communication and understanding.

 

Central to my therapeutic approach is the use of cognitive-behavioral strategies. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a powerful tool in my practice, helping individuals understand the intricate relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By guiding them to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, I support them in cultivating more positive behaviors and emotional states. This approach is crucial in building emotional resilience and overall mental health.

 

Throughout my sessions, I maintain a comforting and supportive tone, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered. My goal is to assist my clients, be they children, parents, couples, or individuals, in not only navigating their current challenges but also in acquiring the skills and insights necessary for lasting emotional health and personal growth.

During our sessions, we will engage collaboratively to uncover and transform thought patterns that may be impeding your progress. This process is aimed at empowering you to make meaningful and positive changes in your life. Recognizing the unique challenges women face, from career pressures to family responsibilities and societal expectations, my practice offers a safe and empathetic space to work through these issues. Additionally, for those who have faced trauma, I provide specialized support with techniques focused on fostering healing and building resilience.


My experience with diverse populations, enriched by my extensive travels, has honed my ability to connect with people from various backgrounds, including those from military families. This understanding allows me to bring a wide-ranging and inclusive perspective to our sessions, creating an atmosphere of respect and understanding.


Together, we will embark on a journey marked by empathy, practical strategies, and a dedication to your overall well-being. Our focus will be on navigating life's challenges, celebrating your successes, and building resilience and hope for the future.

Meged Eisenberg

MA, LAC

Hello. Regardless of whether you’re trying to work through a problem, grow as a person or couple, or just need someone to listen, seeking therapy means seeking change – and I think that takes guts!


No matter what we’re discussing, my focus is always on seeing your world as you see it – because I believe that real healing begins when we have a compassionate and non-judgmental space in which we can freely express ourselves and feel understood.


I take a culturally sensitive approach and draw from a number of different perspectives including cognitive-behavioral therapy (challenging self-defeating thoughts and beliefs), psychodynamic therapy (understanding how our early-life experiences shape the way we see ourselves and the world), mindfulness (noticing and accepting what we are experiencing in the present moment), and existential therapy (finding meaning in life).


I look forward to working with you!

I have a strong background in crisis management and understand that clients often come to therapy during some of their most overwhelming moments. I believe in truly meeting clients where they are, creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment. My approach is collaborative and flexible, and I draw from different therapeutic modalities based on each client’s age, needs, strengths, and goals.


I also believe that every stage of life is connected, and that supporting one person can positively impact an entire family system. Outside of therapy, I love music and anything that helps people express how they truly feel. Whether through conversation, creativity, writing, or music, I believe authentic expression can be an important part of healing and growth.
