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!
