Lorraine Troupe

Hi, I’m Lorraine! I am an LAC in NJ. Here is a little bit about me! I look forward to exploring my clients' stories with openness and curiosity. I value a collaborative, supportive therapeutic relationship as we navigate challenges like mood or personality disorders, grief, trauma, and/or neurodivergence. I work with all ages to create a space where they feel heard, understood, and empowered. Most of all, we will work to develop a better understanding of ourselves through reflective, growth-focused process that honors our unique experiences and strengths. I have over 5 years in the field of mental health and working with grief, mood/personality disorders, complex trauma, along with neurodivergent individuals. I have experience across the lifespan with clients from age 3-92 whom I help with their varying needs. I have experience working with children, teens, and adults through trauma-informed care, narrative therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization & reprocessing (EMDR), grief counseling, and evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), child-centered play therapy (CCPT), and mindfulness. I also have a strong background in supporting neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD and ASD in navigating their needs and challenges. I support clients in guiding their own healing through discovering solutions that align with their unique lives to create the best version of themselves. My ultimate goal is to make therapy not seem so much like therapy. Instead of staring at each other awkwardly or just "talking", I enjoy getting to truly know you, who you are now, and who you would like to be. I incorporate games, activities, worksheets, psychoeducation, etc., to make counseling more interactive & rewarding for any clients interested! I am in-network with several providers, and I can also provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients to help with reimbursement. We partner with Open Path to keep therapy affordable and offer a sliding scale to those in need. Please reach out with any questions, we're happy to work with you! When I’m not in session, you can usually find me with my dogs, at the gym, or diving into a good book or new topic that sparks my curiosity!
