Destiny Foster, LAC

I’m Destiny! I’m a double graduate of Stockton University, holding my Bachelor’s degree in health science, a holistic health minor, and a Master’s degree in counseling. I currently hold my LAC in New Jersey, and I expect to apply for my LPC in late 2025. I started at Holistic By Nature during my Master’s program as my first ever internship. Spoiler: I never left! I now proudly wear the title of Lead Clinician at our wonderful workplace.

My primary focus leans heavily on cognitive behavioral therapy approaches, but I consider myself an eclectic counselor. My time at HBN has taught me the importance of cherry picking from research-backed approaches that would fit the client best. My youngest client has been 4 years old, and my oldest has been 86.

Having been a multi-sport athlete for my entire life, I take pride in incorporating movement and nutrition into my treatment plans. Moving away from structured athletics for 20 years, graduating into a world where I’m solely in charge of my health, was an extreme culture shock. The loss of identity experienced by an injured or former athlete is not talked about nearly enough – let’s talk about it! These days, I’m an avid weightlifter, runner, and hiker. I’m also a failed triathlete, and I like to enjoy CrossFit from a great distance. I’ve cycled through different identities on nearly a seasonal basis. I’ve found my happiness in the freedom to change my mind (and my life) whenever I want. My goal is to instill this sense of freedom in my clients. We can’t control what happens to us, but we can control what we do with it.

As my client, you can expect to be considered as a whole person. We’ll dig into your background, your upbringing, your nutrition, your relationship with movement, and so much more. We’ll work to find the origins of your behaviors. Then, we’ll address and repair distorted thoughts. We’ll talk about core beliefs, attachment styles, neurotransmitters – I’ll even throw some homework your way. Through psychoeducation and appropriate interventions, let’s learn what’s happening and how to manage it. Together.

I hope to see you soon in our Rainbow Room.
