I am Lauren Darling, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked closely with couples, families, and individuals of all ages. Among adult populations, I primarily work with women and LGBTQ+ individuals. I have worked with a wide variety of diagnoses and challenges including trauma, eating disorders, parenting, psychosis and dissociative disorders, addiction, self-harm, suicidal ideation, gender dysphoria, LGBTQ+ issues, personality and mood disorders, anxiety, and depression, with particular attention to complex childhood trauma including sexual abuse.
I earned a Master's in Social Work at Fordham University. I gravitate most heavily towards cognitive- and acceptance-based therapeutic approaches and understand the value of a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. My aim is to create a safe environment for clients to share openly by listening with curiosity and empathy.
I am a strong believer that the most lasting and impactful change often comes from exploring the negative or unhealthy tendencies in our lives. As your therapist, I help you identify and uproot your untrue beliefs. I work best with people who, despite the discomfort, are willing to be vulnerable and hear honest feedback in order to grow.
