Getting to know Lane Balaban

For almost a decade, I have counseled teenagers as a Middle and High School Guidance Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Intensive In-Community Counselor. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from the College of New Jersey and a Bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania State University. My mission is to provide high-quality counseling services to teens and their families experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties. I place a strong emphasis on building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship and strive to create a safe environment where your teen feels comfortable exploring their thoughts and feelings and can develop the skills and tools they need to thrive. My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, compassion, and non-judgment. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoeducational methods, and mindfulness practices, to help your teen overcome negative thought patterns and behaviors. I specialize in treating teens who experience school stress, anxiety, depression, self-harm, peer conflict, family conflict, identity exploration, and life transitions. I will work collaboratively with your teen to identify their goals and develop an individualized treatment plan to unlock their potential.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My clients say they like working with me because I’m not the type of therapist who sits silently and just smiles through our sessions. I keep it friendly with no pressure for your teen to show up as anything but themselves. My clients and former students describe me as “really, really nice,” easy to talk to, funny, empowering, and helpful. I’m here to help your child learn how to control their thoughts, feelings, and actions. During our work together, they will see that small steps make big changes.
