Natalia Lavrentiev

I am a therapist licensed in with 25 years of experience working in clinical practice. I graduated Fordham University Graduate School of Social Services in 2001. After that I worked for 25 years in Woodhull Medical Center Adult Outpatient Psychiatry Department providing psychotherapy to diverse patients. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD I also worked with many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. I am fluent in English, Hebrew and Russian which allows me to serve a diverse range of clients and honor your cultural background in our therapeutic work.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, client-focused, rational-emotive, supportive and holistic therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

During our first session with you we will complete full assessment, We will assess your unique situation, your needs, wants and desires. Based on that I will help you to come up with a plan on how to achieve your treatment goals. Our first session will provide you with relief and clarity and it will contribute to motivation for our productive therapeutic work.
