About Lauren Mistretta, MHC-LP
I am a compassionate and thoughtful clinician, who is dedicated to providing individualized and evidence-based psychotherapy. I utilize a collaborative approach with clients, establishing a course of treatment that is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of the individual client or couple. I view psychotherapy as an interpersonal and educational experience; one that facilitates emotional, behavioral, and relational understanding, encourages personal responsibility, and guides the process of client growth and desired change.
I studied psychology for over eight years, receiving my graduate degree, M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from New York University and undergraduate degree, B.A. in Psychology from Bucknell University. In addition, I have received and continue to pursue clinical training in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches, specifically Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. I have successfully employed these methods, treating a wide-range of client concerns, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, disordered eating & body image, family & relationship difficulties, substance abuse, perfectionism, self-worth & identity concerns, as well as career & lifestyle transitions.
I believe that every individual has the ability to modify dysfunctional tendencies and adopt healthier and more flexible ways of being. I am deeply committed to helping my clients alleviate emotional distress and lead more authentic, fulfilling and joyful lives. Together we will access your resources and strengths, while gaining insight into the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors blocking you from reaching your true potential.
MOST PLANS ACCEPTED
We accept most insurance plans. If we are not in network with your particular plan, and you have out of network benefits, we will work with your insurance company to get you as close to an in network experience as possible. Give us a call and we’ll verify your benefits. Our personal guarantee is that you will never receive a surprise bill. Before your first appointment, you will know exactly how much you will have to pay and how much your insurance will cover. Even if your insurance doesn’t cover the whole thing, we’ll never charge you more than your in-network co-insurance once you’ve met your deductible.
