About Lauren Porter

I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York State with primary experience working with adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood instability, addiction and both childhood and adult trauma.
My counseling style is empathetic and sincere. I believe in treating anyone with respect, compassion and a lack of judgement. In my work I utilize a combination of a cognitive-behavioral, compassion focused and psychodynamic approach. I believe the client is the center of therapy and plan to work with you in addressing the concerns you present. Together we will work to identify challenges you experience, barriers you are facing and work to develop effective and healthy coping skills.
I will be available through a variety of modalities throughout this journey together so that we can find a way to best meet your needs and goals. I am looking forward to working with you and seeing what we can help you accomplish together!

“Lauren has helped me through the toughest time of my life. Losing my mother devastated me and it turned me into someone that no one wanted to be around. I was angry, bitter, sad, and unsure how to deal with those emotions.<br /> Lauren has been my rock through it all. She has helped me understand that my feelings were normal and that grief is a long, winding road. She's taught me that I have to take care of myself before I am of any use to my family. I'm truly grateful for Lauren!”

“Was going through a life change: new city far away from my family, was looking for a new job, and had just moved in with my boyfriend. I was having a hard time processing my loneliness looking for friends and my anxiety about finding a new job and handling the rejection of the search. I looked forward to my meetings with Lauren to chat through all of this with her.”
