Getting to know Lauren Zavier

Lauren Zavier, LCSW, focuses her practice on helping people develop practical ways to change behaviors and live the life they want. Lauren believes that every goal takes work and that there are no shortcuts. She helps others learn to face the unknown with strength and curiosity. Lauren began her career in sales and marketing before pursuing a Master's in Clinical Social Work at New York University, which she obtained in 2000. She then spent 15 years working in grief and bereavement, supporting patients with chronic and terminal illnesses as part of the Palliative Care team at NYU Langone Medical Center. After her palliative care work, Lauren shifted her focus to helping people plan for a better future through her work in Foster Care and with the homeless population struggling with mental illness and addictions.

Lauren primarily uses CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), and solution-focused therapies.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Perhaps you're down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions. I have the tools and professional experience to help you get back on track.
