About Me
Welcome. I’m Lauren and I provide attuned, collaborative treatment for early, young, and middle aged adults in New York and Connecticut for virtual psychotherapy. I am based out of Brooklyn and offer a therapeutic space that is interactive, friendly and inquisitive which in turn invites you to be curious about yourself and feel safe in exploring the needs that bring you into treatment.
I use an eclectic psychodynamic approach in my treatment which allows me to be flexible while maintaining a helpful structure to your care. I have experience in the intersubjective, attachment and relational realms that I feel most attuned to as a therapist and has led me to develop a deep gratitude and awareness of the connection between people. This is a central reason why so many come into therapy, and I believe is one of the main ways therapy can be so healing. The therapist- client relationship can be a microcosm in which to replay, retry, and reorganize so many wounds, suppressed feelings, curiosities and lost joys. It is here where change can begin and your outside life can see the change you are looking for.
It therefore vital for me that you feel truly heard, valued and cared for in treatment. I bring an non-judgement into all areas of work in helping you with your goals in care.
As a social worker, I have been privileged to work with clients of various races, genders, sexual orientations, cultures, and backgrounds. I greatly value the knowledge I have received from my clients’ lives and experiences and strive to always create a culturally-competent space for you.
