“Lauren is a gifted therapist. I had tried therapy off and on for years but never clicked with anyone until I met Lauren! She has an innate ability to understand her clients and immediately put them at ease to better get to the root cause of an issue. She’s incredibly insightful and I carry her words with me often. I’ve learned so much about myself through working with Lauren and most importantly, have learned coping strategies and tactics to get through difficult times. Lauren is very responsive and easy to schedule with. She’s an invaluable resource to better mental health and I cannot recommend her enough! ”

“Lauren has been my therapist since 2021. I have seen her off and on, and more frequently depending on my needs.
I highly recommend her.
As someone who was reluctant to start therapy she really got me to open up in a way that I felt comfortable. I always feel there is a safe space with her, very accepting. I also like her approach. While not pushy at all, her recommendations allowed me to think outside the box and develop myself more. She brings forth solutions without being forceful, so I always feel that I am make progress. Her suggestions are good and sometimes challenging but it allows me to decide what may or may not work for me. Also very accommodating and understanding with scheduling needs, very adaptable. If you are new to therapy or looking for a new therapist I highly recommend her. ”

Getting to know Lauren Shampan
No matter if you're a college student, a recent graduate, a new parent, navigating challenges in your love life, or anywhere along that spectrum, my goal remains the same: to help you figure out who you are, what you want, and how you want to get there.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor’s degree from American University, which have shaped my understanding and approach as a therapist. Over time, I’ve come to deeply appreciate the inherent messiness and imperfection of being human. We all carry quirks, shadows, inconsistencies—and that’s okay. My role is not to judge or fix, but to create a safe space where you can explore all of who you are with acceptance and compassion. On a practical level, I’ll share tools, frameworks, and insights from evidence-based therapies to help shine light on your issues. But I also believe therapy should allow for transcendence—those profound “aha” moments where you glimpse a deeper truth about yourself.
My therapeutic approach honors the full range of your humanity—your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, desires, and contradictions. I’ll gently challenge you to question self-limiting beliefs while celebrating your resilience. We’ll look at old patterns with fresh eyes and push boundaries, not for the sake of being edgy, but to expand your self-awareness.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I strive to create an authentic working alliance based on trust, honesty (sometimes hard truths!), and moments of welcomed humor. I'm invested in your growth, but you're ultimately the leader - I'm simply the experienced companion supporting your unfolding. If you're seeking a therapist who can hold space for all of you I'd be honored to connect.

I have been in therapy off and on for 20 years due to trauma and Lauren is the longest therapist relationship I've ever had. She is caring and compassionate AND provides feedback and suggestions. It's not just a, "how does that make you feel" session, it's a "how does that make you feel and let's unpack it and come up with strategies!" Highly recommend for anyone who is ready to hear why you are making the choices you make and what o do about it.
