Lauren Pluchino, MSW, LCSW, CHt
(Owner)

Proud founder and owner of Serenity Therapy and Counseling, I am a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker (also known as a "psychotherapist") with over ten years experience helping clients move towards emotional and mental health and well-being. Working with adults in individual therapy, I use an integrative approach designed to suit the specific needs of each of my clients. My holistic, person-centered approach to therapy has helped numerous clients successfully navigate and overcome issues including, but not limited to:

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Stress

  • Relationship issues

  • Work-life imbalances

  • Life transitions

  • LGBTQIA+ issues

  • Chronic or terminal health issues

  • Grief and loss

  • Self-esteem

  • Disordered eating

  • Body image issues


I believe that by incorporating the right therapeutic approach, a holistic view of overall wellness, and genuine support and empathy, I empower my clients to succeed on their personal paths to emotional peace and wellness.
