“Working with Dr. Lauren Bisk was a pleasure and she made me feel comfortable from our first call. She is a very thoughtful and professional therapist and her years of experience are evident in the way she is able to present complex things very simply. She has a calm, steady presence and offered practical tips I was able to apply right away, which made a noticeable difference in my mental wellbeing. Her insights were clear and grounded, and I appreciated how she kept things focused and asked lots of questions that helped me reflect on things that I did not even realize I was feeling. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, experienced and professional therapist.”

“I only had the opportunity to work with Dr. Bisk for a short time, but in the time we worked together she was hugely influential in helping me decide and take action on making a change in my life for the better. This was something that had been weighing on me for a significant period of time; with her consistent encouragement and reflection I was able to gather the evidence needed to feel confident and secure in making a decision I had felt stuck in.
Dr. Bisk is direct but adds a wonderful humor to her work. If you are looking for a therapist to challenge you while simultaneously providing support and wisdom, she is a great choice and I recommend working with her.”

Dr. Bisk is incredibly perceptive, insightful, and intelligent. But what really sets her apart is her ability to use these assets in a thoughtful manner. I highly recommend Dr. Bisk, whether someone is looking to work on specific issue short-term or for long-term mental health therapy.

Dr. Bisk and I have been meeting for a few months now, and I have noticed tremendous progress in my well-being.
Dr. Bisk is incredibly knowledgeable and has helped me understand the “Why” behind some of my emotions. I’ve noticed the way that I speak to myself about my emotions is much more positive as well.
Can’t recommend Dr. Bisk enough, I’m looking forward to continuing our sessions.

Lauren might just be the best therapist i’ve never been to. I was having a hard time finding someone I felt comfortable with and immediately knew I could trust her. I have absolutely nothing bad to say. Not only have I had success with her but my husband is now going to her as well. 100/10!!

Dr. Bisk is both a highly intelligent and very sensitive therapist. Her substantial experience and knowledge enable her not only to zero in on her client's diagnosis but it enables her to match her intervention to her clients needs, providing the most skilled and professional treatment I have experienced. She really helped me through a difficult time in my Family and helped us come out stronger than before. . I strongly recommend Dr. Bisk for treatment.

Dr. Bisk is highly competent and very professional. She is insightful, direct sometimes, but always with empathy and an eye to encouraging positive change. She is also very down to earth, funny, and made me comfortable from the very first visit. Definitely recommend!

Lauren Bisk is very attentive and kind. She has some great insights and has really helped me since we've started working together.
More than 1 year agoJG
I have been working with Dr Bisk for close to three years now and cannot recommend her more highly. She has helped me immensely with understanding my depression and anxiety and how to live a full and meaningful life despite it. Moreover, she has helped me better communicate with others close to me about managing my condition and how to be more open and receptive to the emotions of others. She is incredibly credentialed and maintains collaborative and very helpful relationships with other practitioners in the mental health field that work to benefit her patients. Most importantly, she cares about the health and well-being of her patients. Something insurance copays never guarantee. I hope to continue working with Dr Bisk long term.
