"Live in your strength."

Do you find yourself feeling anxious when it comes to setting boundaries? Maybe you put others first too often, even when it leaves you feeling depleted and resentful.

You might feel unsure about asserting what you need–but deep down, you know it’s time to shine your spine and stand a little taller in your truth. Through our work together, you’ll create the space you need to cut through all the noise so that you can access your inner strength and wisdom.

Meet Lauren Palumbo, LMHC,
Licensed Psychotherapist

I’m a licensed psychotherapist working with individuals in New York City and across New York State who experience challenges related to anxiety, depression, stress, family and relationships.

My approach is down-to-earth and engaged, helping you feel understood and empowered in our work together. Whether you’re navigating tough decisions, coping with self-doubt, or wanting help setting boundaries and recognizing your own needs, I offer a relaxed, welcoming space to explore what’s working, what isn’t, and what may bring greater ease.

I draw from emotion-focused, cognitive behavioral, and psychodynamic approaches with a focus on exploring your feelings and insights as they arise in the here and now. This in-the-moment exploration uncovers new perspectives and opens the door to meaningful change. Through this process, we’ll deepen self-awareness, reconnect with self-compassion, and support your natural capacity for growth and healing. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness and body-based practices into our sessions to help you feel more grounded and resilient day-to-day.

Is This You?

    • “I’m struggling with making decisions and often feel uncertain about my next steps.”
    • “Having insight hasn’t been enough to transform how I feel or help me break free from unhealthy habits.”
    • “It’s hard for me to recognize and prioritize my own needs.”
    • “I want to feel good about being assertive, so I can feel less resentful in my relationships and more true to myself.”

Finding the right therapist is a personal choice, and the connection we build lays the groundwork for you to step into your most authentic self. My priority is to ensure you feel safe, seen, and supported, not only in the work we do but how we’re working together. My wish is to help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, whole, and fulfilling – a life where you feel secure in yourself and in your relationships with others.

If this feels like it might be a good fit, I’d love to invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation so we can explore that together.

MY THERAPY STYLE

It’s natural to feel hesitant about opening up to someone new. Therapy doesn’t have to be overwhelming or intimidating. It’s really about giving yourself space to explore what’s on your mind, at your own pace, with someone who’s there to support you without judgment.

Even if you’re not entirely sure what you want to get out of therapy, a consultation can be a safe and supportive space to start exploring that. Keeping an open mind and giving yourself the chance to see if it feels like a good fit is a meaningful first step.

Our minds and bodies instinctively protect us from feelings that feel painful or overwhelming, so we find ways to cope, like pushing them down or distracting ourselves. These habits can give us enough space to get through tough times. However in the long term, avoiding emotions can cause them to intensify, showing up as anxiety, depression, stress, or in patterns that keep us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

Emotions are powerful guides, directing us towards parts of our lives that may need attention or care. In our work together, we’ll explore these feelings and their origins so they become less overwhelming and more like signals you can tune into, understand, and grow from.

I enjoy working with clients who bring a natural curiosity about themselves and are willing to explore their internal world. It’s tempting to focus on how things outside of our control contribute to our problems, and life can certainly throw its share of unexpected hurdles. But staying focused on what’s beyond our control for too long can leave you feeling powerless, making it harder to recognize opportunities for healing and growth. The real magic happens when you consistently invest in understanding yourself and creating meaningful change from within.
