My Approach
LAUREN GINSBERG, LCSW
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Psychoanalyst, I believe lasting change happens through understanding. Rather than quick fixes, I offer a space where you can explore what matters most while developing practical tools for moving forward.
My approach recognizes that our behaviors and patterns often have deeper roots – some outside our immediate awareness.
Through our work together, you'll gain insight into these underlying factors, empowering you to make more conscious choices in your life.
My approach is:
Collaborative → We work together to understand your unique situation and develop strategies that work for you
Non-judgmental → Every person's experience is valid and worthy of understanding
Relationship-focused → Whether working with individuals or couples, we explore how relationships shape our experiences
Present-centered → While we may explore past patterns, our focus stays on creating positive change in the present
Integrative → Drawing from psychoanalysis, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and other modalities to best serve your needs
Depth-oriented→ Creating space to understand both conscious and unconscious factors that influence your life
Experience & Background
For over two decades, I've helped individuals and couples in New York City create meaningful change in their lives and relationships.
My journey began in social work, where I discovered my passion for helping people on a deeper, more individual level.
This led me to psychotherapy, where I found my true calling in supporting people through relationship challenges and personal growth.
My practice combines the depth of psychodynamic understanding with practical tools for managing life's challenges.
Whether working with couples navigating difficult transitions or individuals seeking deeper self-understanding, I bring both expertise and genuine care to our work together.
What to Expect
Our work begins with understanding – of your current challenges, your hopes for the future, and the patterns that may be holding you back.
Through creating a safe therapeutic space, we can explore not just immediate concerns, but also the deeper factors that may be outside your awareness.
From there, we collaborate to create positive change through:
→ Developing deeper insight into relationship patterns
→ Building practical tools for managing challenges
→ Strengthening communication and connection
→ Creating lasting positive change
→ Understanding unconscious patterns that influence your life
→ Gaining more control through awareness
Professional Development
I also offer case consultation for fellow mental health professionals, sharing expertise in trauma-informed, relationship-focused therapy. This work helps extend the reach of effective, empathetic care in our community.
Taking the Next Step
Beginning therapy is a significant decision that shows commitment to your own growth and wellbeing. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and how we might work together to create positive change in your life.
