Lauren is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who received her Bachelors in Science from Cornell University and her Masters in Social Work from Columbia University.

 

Lauren is a very compassionate and kind-hearted individual. She has always been committed to helping others and is passionate about working with children. Lauren has honed her clinical skills over the last several years working in special needs schools by providing counseling, social skills instruction, crisis management and parenting support. She is highly experienced in working with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, depression, anxiety, specific learning disabilities, language processing and sensory integration disorders and helps them to develop better emotional regulation, coping strategies, problem-solving abilities, organizational and pragmatic language skills. Lauren has a special interest in providing support to siblings and parents of special needs children as well, as their emotional needs are often overlooked or unable to be prioritized.
