I'm Lauren (she/they) and I am a Brooklyn-based trauma therapist offering virtual therapy in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Vermont and consultation for therapists and graduate students in all 50 states. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA2S+ folks, survivors of relationship violence, and survivors of high-control groups and religions. My approach is grounded in wanting to create a therapeutic environment that is relational, trauma informed, social justice informed, and stigma free.
Some of the core values of my practice include prioritizing the individual and the therapeutic relationship over “one size fits all” treatment plans & understanding that we exist within larger systems and institutions that impact us and can cause harm. I am trained in multiple modalities & incorporate these in genuine ways when they feel most supportive.
I am currently accepting new clients and will have limited afternoon and evening availability. Please reach out via email or see my Alma profile for consultation availability if you think we could be a good fit!

Lauren is one of my most memorable colleagues of all time! She blends warmth, true acceptance, authentic personality, knowledge, & advocacy so perfectly. Clinically outstanding & such a safe space to land. Selfishly, I'm mad Lauren can't be my therapist!

Lauren is an incredible therapist, who creates a safe, supportive environment in the therapy room. Her knowledge of EMDR/IFS/ trauma is admirable, and the care they give to their clients is so genuine. I cannot recommend enough!
