Welcome - I'm so glad you're here! I know finding a therapist can be daunting, but it is so worth it when you find someone you can trust. Whether you are navigating a new challenge life has thrown at you or are choosing to tackle a longstanding problem, I would be honored to be part of your team. Clients from all walks of life are welcome. I value clients' diversity and aim to treat each individual as holistically as possible. If you are looking to grow yourself and your relationships into the best that they can be, I would love to meet with you and accompany you on that journey.

I work in a warm, transparent, and collaborative way. Humor — and sometimes swearing — has a place in session, because I believe both can build distress tolerance. Expect to dive into action: my job is to help you do the hard thing. Together, we’ll confront unhelpful patterns and interrupt the cycle of avoidance through experiential exposure. You’ll practice new ways of facing difficult situations, build specific skills for doing hard things, and move toward what actually matters to you — step by step, toward a life aligned with your values. When you work with me, expect to dive into action. My goal is to help you do the hard thing. Background & Training I received my Ph.D. from Columbia University and have 18+ years of experience providing culturally informed therapy to adults, with specialized training in multicultural psychology. I use evidence-based Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) within an interpersonal framework, integrating attachment theory, IFS and polyvagal-informed trauma approaches. I believe the therapeutic relationship, paired with research-backed methods, can be genuinely transformative. No one gives us a guide on how to be human or how to build a fulfilling life. In therapy, I provide a compassionate space where you can learn how to process and regulate emotions, navigate relationships and boundaries, uncover avoidance patterns, and connect with your core values. Specialties Anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, autism, adult ADHD, identity concerns and exploration, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My work is attachment- and trauma-informed, drawing on mindfulness and emotion-processing skills, experiential exposure, boundary work, and values-based practice to reduce experiential avoidance and build lasting change.

I specialize in helping adolescents and adults who struggle with or are impaired by depression and other mood disorders, anxiety and adjustment disorders, self esteem issues, grief resulting from loss and post traumatic stress. I will also incorporate use of mindfulness, emotional freedom technique (tapping), breathwork, muscle relaxation and a person centered/strengths based approach.

Life is full of transitional moments; changes that impact how we think, how we function, and how we connect to the world. Let us work together to build a positive connection between how you feel, where you are, and where you see yourself. Short-term, goal-oriented therapy is available. Or, perhaps you would prefer to delve deeper into the who, the why, and the how of things. With either modality, you can expect to be met with respect, compassion, and cultural sensitivity.

It is both normal for us humans to get stuck, scared, or in our own way and also to need space and support to understand the cause of our struggles, face our fears, make changes, and grow. My goal as a therapist is to use our combined wisdom (your knowledge of yourself and your life, my experience and expertise), and sometimes that of my therapy dog Bella, to explore your concerns, increase awareness, insight, and self-compassion, identify options for change, and understand and respect what you choose to do as a result of this process. I have over 20 years experience as a psychotherapist and specifically working with university students (and staff), international persons, and musicians/performers.

I invite you to take an important step to enhance your well-being through curiosity and compassionate support. At Lux Nocturna you can expect a collaboration that feels human. Life can have challenges that overwhelm us and you may notice that you don't feel okay. Exploring this and finding where your strengths can be expressed can mean the difference between feeling stuck and having the confidence to make meaningful change. If you believe we could be a good fit for a therapeutic alliance, don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to working with you!

My name is Courtney and my focus in my counseling work connects with guiding individuals to rediscover their sense of self when facing challenges. It's common for anxiety, depression, shame, and guilt to emerge during difficult times, especially times of life changes, and if this resonates with you, you are not alone. I am dedicated to offering supportive reflection and compassionate listening, empowering you to tap into your inner resilience, strengths, and sense of purpose. I specialize in working with individuals (16+) experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression, and with those who are experiencing difficulties with life transitions, self-esteem, and stress. I have specific experience working with individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQIA+), and I also provide EMDR therapy. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where we can address past challenges, current stressors, and concerns about what's next. My goal is to empower you to embrace your true self, listen to your inner voice with kindness, and cultivate deeper connections through vulnerability. I welcome you to contact me to set up a free consultation.

If you are suffering in any way imaginable, I would be honored to help you find your way through it. I serve students and faculty from every background and with a wide variety of issues, including academic stress, relationship stress, grief and loss, loneliness and despair, shame and guilt, depression, anxiety, and family issues, especially dysfunctional, abusive, incestuous, and alcoholic families. Everything from mild to severe, I have seen it and helped people. I accept Excellus, Blue Cross and Blue Shield. I offer telehealth sessions as well as in-person.

Hi! I'm Lauren. My goal is to help you cultivate more peace, stability, and joy in your life. Together, we can work toward reducing stress, fostering emotional balance, and creating meaningful connections that support your overall well-being. Whether you're seeking clarity during a challenging time or looking to make lasting changes, I am here to support you on your journey to a more fulfilling and harmonious life. I'm a social worker who enjoys working with adults, adolescents, and children from all backgrounds and intersecting identities. I'm committed to being an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming practitioner who integrates social justice into my practice whenever possible. As a therapist, I will focus on your strengths and resilience, trust you to be the expert of your own experiences, and provide a warm and supportive environment to freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and desires for change. I have experience working with people living with anxiety, depression, OCD, and who have experienced trauma. My style is humanistic and relational, often incorporating cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, emotion-focused approaches, and somatic practices. I will integrate these different approaches according to your specific needs.

My approach to therapy is warm, inviting, and challenging. I value compassion and "realness" and approach my work with clients from a place of curiosity and respect. I believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for meaningful work to occur and work with my clients to identify what feels most important to explore and address in therapy. Our work together may involve processing and organizing difficult life experiences or memories, preparing for major life transitions, or navigating challenges relating to depression/anxiety. I've often worked with clients in processing trauma and experiences of grief, relationship difficulties, and difficulties relating to identity (e.g., navigating minority related stress, LGBTQIA+, immigration concerns, etc.). Because safety and compatibility are necessary for effective therapy work, I typically connect with potential clients for a 15-20 minute phone consultation. This will allow us both to determine if we feel like we would be a good fit. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect. Email tends to elicit a quicker response, however phone is fine, too! :)
