Getting to know Lauren Lalchand

***Our office requires insurance card confirmation to move forward with your appointment. Please make sure you are scheduling with the correct plan or contact your insurance company first to ensure you are covered.*** Hi there! It's very nice to meet you. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Therapist in New York with a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University and 12 years of professional experience. I have helped clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem, post-pandemic trauma for adolescents and adults, LGBTQ concerns, and building confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion; after all, we will be working together as a team. I utilize various treatment modalities to meet your unique and specific needs. I am looking forward to working with you on your journey to the life you have always hoped for!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am a very interactive therapist who will support you during every session through positivity, through compassion, and through an objective view. I take time to actively listen to what brought you to asking for support and then together, as a team, we will come up with the baby steps or objectives that will help you work towards your goals successfully! Everyone is different so I don't just utilize one approach for all mental health symptoms; rather, I cater to your needs respectfully and appropriately. I have dedicated my life's work to helping others uniquely; why can' therapy be exciting and fun as well? All exercises and homework assignments were actually first tested by myself through my personal journey and I keep updating the work as new techniques present themselves. That way I can coach you along the process having first hand knowledge how you too will benefit as well. As we work and grow together, I will help clients build the necessary skills and tools so that they become more independence, build personal strength and confidence. ***PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT ACCEPT MEDICARE, MEDICAID, NYSHIP, OR MANAGED CARE INSURANCE. BEFORE SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CHECK WITH YOUR INSURANCE AND REVIEW MY LIST OF ACCEPTED INSURANCES. PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR INSURANCE CARDS WHEN YOU DO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME. PLEASE ALSO MAKE SURE YOU ARE RESIDING IN NEW YORK STATE IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD.***

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I do follow the ethical guidelines so that we can get the most out of each session. Our first couple of sessions would be gathering information about you and what you are experiencing and how verbal therapy can help you. We will discuss your goals, what steps need to be taken to get you there, strategies, coping skills building, and then will create the process of getting you to self-acceptance. We will also discuss confidentiality, some things to know about telehealth, and what to do in case of a crisis and or an emergency. Once all of that has been discussed, reviewed, and you are ready to begin your journey; then every session thereafter is about meeting you at your level and helping you to navigate the therapeutic process together.
