Lauren Puglisi

I invite curiosity and self-compassion and offer an empathetic, encouraging, and patient space for you to grow. My style involves tangible interventions to provide immediate relief and addressing root causes through longer-term work. I mostly draw from psychodynamic practice while also incorporating CBT, DBT, and somatic work. I approach couples work from an attachment based lens and Emotionally Focused Therapy to replace negative cycles of relating with more satisfying interaction.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples throughout the lifespan navigating challenges related to family and relationships, life and career transitions, sexuality and gender, anxiety, self-esteem and imposter syndrome, the creative process and artistic professions, perfectionism and burnout, and existential questions.

Therapy is an opportunity to reflect, develop personal insight, and replace passive pattern-following with active choice-making. It is my pleasure to support you in your self-discovery and help you use the skills you already have to cope with life's difficulties. My goal is to collaborate with you in creating new possibilities, finding more joy and beauty in daily living, and becoming a more present participant in your life.
