Getting to know Lauren Pincus
My approach to therapy stems from my sincere curiosity and compassion for the human experience. I am able to create an authentically warm and inviting environment that allows me to connect intimately with each client and form deep bonds while exploring paths to wellness and healing. My priority in every session is to create a space free of judgment and criticism that allows you to feel at ease during this vulnerable process. Relationships can be very challenging and complicated both with others and ourselves. If you find yourself in a place questioning repetitive thoughts or feeling emotions that may be roadblocks for personal growth, therapy is an opportunity for you to explore and grow both personally and interpersonally. I will thoughtfully create a unique treatment plan for your specific needs. All people are different with diverse experiences that require a varied approach to healing.
As a holistic clinician, my process is to integrate physical and mental health by exploring nutrition as well as various therapy models deeply rooted in the mind-body connection such as Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy to name a few. As a certified Presence Psychotherapist, I strive to bring my fullest presence to each session hoping to create
and hold space for you to access your truest self. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in working together and you can determine if it’s the right fit. I feel the therapeutic process is most successful when the client and therapist are well-matched.
After graduating from NYU in 2006 I have worked in various settings to provide social work services. I’ve worked with an interdisciplinary team in a hospital helping
individuals and families in medical crises as well as in private practice providing counseling to individuals and families ranging in age with differing needs. I’ve most recently completed training in Presence Psychotherapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Lauren Pincus is a licensed social worker with over 15 years of experience providing therapeutic counseling to individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and of all ages. Lauren's initial experience was as a hospital-based social worker managing complex dynamics and participating in a multidisciplinary team in a fast-paced trauma setting. Lauren then transitioned to clinical group practice and since that time she has been providing mostly individual and some family-based therapy.
Lauren brings a holistic approach to her treatment with clients in which she incorporates her love and knowledge of the mind-body connection into her work. Lauren has an interactive and gentle style that helps clients explore themselves in a new and open way. Lauren is a certified presence psychotherapist who uses the four dimensions of presence (grounded, spacious, relational, and transcendent) to help clients process trauma by expanding their view of who they are and help them feel more balanced. Lauren heavily incorporates her experience with IFS and Somatic approaches to help clients develop more compassion for themselves and to heal the trauma that has caused clients to feel stuck and unsuccessful with other models of therapy.
Lauren focuses her work with adults above the age of 18 who are navigating difficult life transitions, having relationship issues, need to work through unprocessed trauma (big trauma and little trauma), experiencing negative self-talk, inner conflict, illness, compulsions, substance abuse, hoarding, sexual orientation or gender questioning, depression, and anxiety. Lauren approaches therapy in a very culturally sensitive way and has worked with a diverse group of clients.
