Lauren Gonzalez, LMFT
 

Welcome. ​

My web site is the starting point from which you can learn about me and my practice of psychotherapy. I utilize a goal-oriented, relational, creative approach. My practice is guided by intensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, psychodynamics and a lifetime in the creative arts. The above menu provides the information you will need to make an informed decision.

​

My love of the outdoors, and belief we are all part of and responsible for "nature" is foundational to emotional healing. Reconnecting with nature is essential to healing ourselves and our environment, and climate stress is real. I provide supportive and engaged therapy to those experiencing climate anxiety and despair through a range of approaches that blend the coping skills of DBT with writing, nature exploration, and myriad forms of creativity.

​

I am licensed in Pennsylvania, California, New Jersey, and New York (pending) and provide online telemedicine sessions. I provide limited office hours in Linwood, New Jersey. (NOTE: all sessions are conducted via Telehealth due to Covid-19 restrictions until further notice.)

​

To set up an initial consultation for in-person or telemedicine sessions, please contact me at (415) 685-3894 or via the form listed under the Contact tab. I look forward to hearing from you.

To be great, be whole: don't exaggerate

                       Or leave out any part of you.

Be complete in each thing. Put all you are

                  Into the least of your acts.​

                            
-Fernando Pessoa, 1933

​

May what I do flow from me like a river,

no forcing and no holding back,

the way it is with children.

-Rainer Maria Rilke
