More about Lauren

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State and have been providing therapy since 2006. I utilize a number of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Resiliency Model, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I am also trained in Hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Technique.

I have experience helping people with a variety of issues and my main areas of interest are anxiety, trauma, co-occurring issues, parinatal mental health issues, and supporting people during times of transition. I aim to help build individualized treatment tactics and goals for each patient and value a team approach to therapy. I believe in providing a therapy space that is compassionate, open minded, and interactive.

I strongly believe that our mental health is as important as our physical health. Starting the journey to improving our health can start with therapy and if you are wanting to prioritize yourself and your health more, I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
