Getting to know Lauren Simon

My treatment approach is integrative and holistic, with centering the client's treatment needs as my number one priority. I am primarily a psychodynamic, interpersonal, and attachment-oriented therapist, but I like to intersperse behavioral techniques as needed. As a sex educator, I approach all my clients from a sex-positive, trauma-informed perspective. My top priority as a clinician is working at the intersection of sexual and mental health. With my background as a sex educator, I am never one to shy away from uncomfortable and taboo topics. It is important to me to provide LGBTQ+, kink, non-monogamous, and sex work affirming care to my diverse caseload. Furthermore, as a social worker dedicated to the mission of social justice and holding a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University, with a background in implicit bias research, providing accessible, culturally humble care from an anti-oppressive framework is imperative to my clinical practice.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Lauren. I’ve never felt so safe and affirmed with a therapist before. Lauren is warm, non-judgmental, and attentive. On top of that, I’m actually seeing progress toward my goals after over a decade in therapy. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
