Somatic Therapists in Westhampton Beach, NY

Are you are feeling stuck, anxious, or depressed? Are you unhappy with your current relationships, your career or where you are in life in general? Maybe you're struggling with the loss of a loved one, emotional eating or your ability to handle stress. As a therapist my goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment that offers you the opportunity to talk openly with someone who is objective, neutral and non-judgmental. Together we will work to clarify the issues you are facing, move through the emotions, put them in perspective and develop new skills and behaviors leading to positive thoughts, energy and actions.

As a therapist, I aim to create a space where clients have the opportunity to be vulnerable, grow, and feel empowered while working toward their life goals and developing new skill sets. Thoughts and emotions can be so powerful, but they can lead us to feeling stuck, lost, confused, dread, or even exhausted. We isolate, panic, feel unseen, and feel unheard, and become irritated because we don’t have the words. If this is something you can relate to, my name is Lauren and welcome to my page. I am so excited you have decided to invest in yourself!

As Carl Jung said, "I am not what has happened to me. I am what I choose to become. Know that choice is available. The question is; where am I choosing from? Is it the past that directs my life or have I crossed the bridge from the past to stand in the present moment where choice and freedom prevail. "You're not alone." Empathy is a powerful connection between us all. Empathy is connecting with emotions to another with a sense of knowing what that person is feeling. Can you connect with your own feelings and emotions to realize the experience of being alive? Two questions to ponder: Who have you been this year?

You deserve a safe, non-judgmental space where you have the chance to develop strategies and build confidence in navigating life’s challenges. As a therapist, I am passionate about empowering you to be dedicated to your personal transformations, while holding space for you to thrive as your true, authentic self.

Have YOU ever..... 1) Struggled with slowing down, being present and grounded? 2) Been told “who to be, what to do, how to act?” 3) Found it difficult to listen or trust your own intuition? I have also been there. And, when all of the above began pulling me further out of alignment, I made a choice that I no longer wanted to live in a world where my truth and my voice were not being seen, heard, valued, or respected. With me in YOUR corner, you’ll be able to let go of any resistance, build a deeper understanding of your sense of self, rediscover who you are underneath it all, and learn how to relax and release any fears.

We all have a deep yearning to understand ourselves and to be understood. Therapy offers a safe space for self-exploration; to explore how our thoughts, emotions and experiences influence us to act the way we do. Integrating Cognitive Behavioral skills and other evidence-based practices, together, we create a collaborative change process that empowers you to live towards a more fulfilling life. As an empathetic therapist with over 10 yrs. of prof. experience, I take pride in fostering a supportive, nonjudgmental space for you to gain improved self awareness of your inner world, relational patterns, and normalize the healing process.

Are you struggling with anxiety or depression? My goal as your therapist is to provide a safe space, free from judgment to explore your life story. I assist clients in understanding why they might be self-medicating, experiencing anxiety or depressive symptoms. My experience includes : Couples, individuals, trauma, anxiety, depression and recovery. Through utilizing CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Somatic Practices and Mindfulness we are able to get to core stressors and find practical measures to alleviate them.

I have the opportunity after years in the mental health field to dedicate more time to doing what I love to do most —help people discover insights and tools for psychological well-being. I've been fortunate to witness transformations in the lives of those I've had the privilege to assist with a treatment strategy that combines three distinct pathways to psychological wellness. Starting with traditional psychodynamic techniques, we understand the "what" and "why" of your experiences. Feeling validated serves as a foundation for healing.

Do you find it difficult to communicate your needs to those closest to you? I work with those who desire a deeper awareness of themselves, who are navigating relationship challenges, embarking on career changes, experiencing burn out, and who struggle with sexual intimacy. Together, we will collaborate to create a space that feels right for you.

I believe in our capacity to challenge and navigate away from unhealthy patterns. I support my clients in cultivating awareness and guide them in the healing process by drawing on innate strengths and resilience. I encourage clients to think of human beings as organisms, of body and of mind, that live in relationship with others and with our environment. As such, growth is our natural state. We are meant to grow, to act fluidly and adapt creatively throughout our lives and we suffer when that process is blocked or interrupted. However, our suffering can provide an opportunity to grow in new and exciting ways.

In therapy, I believe that even the most intimate aspects of one's life can be safely explored in a collaborative and caring environment.
