“We Grow Through What We Go Through.”
Welcome TO
MY practice
I strive to provide a warm and nurturing and environment for your personal growth journey. From the outset, I ensure a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions, and discuss what’s causing challenges and pain in your life. I take a highly interactive approach, asking insightful questions and identifying negative patterns to help you gain clarity and insight into your challenges. Clients usually find themselves at ease quickly, and are able to open up during our very first session.
Utilizing a psychodynamic approach, I blend various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, family systems theory, somatic therapy and emotionally focused therapy.

Serving Rockland County and the Greater NYC Metro Area
”Lauren saved my family… [She] put my family back together again.”
I love my weekly therapy with Lauren. She challenges me to look at myself and pushes me by asking the exact right questions. I am learning more about myself and making positive changes in my relationships because of our work together.
”I never thought I would feel comfortable with a therapist until I met Lauren. I have become more open with myself and my wife. Sometimes I even cry in therapy and I’ve learned that’s ok. I prefer to laugh though, and I do a lot of that in therapy because Lauren has a great sense of humor.
