A note from Lauren:
Hi everyone! I’m unfortunately not accepting new clients right now, but I personally supervise, and highly recommend, each and every therapist here at Mindful Connections. If you’d like to schedule a phone call with me to determine which one of my supervisees would be the best fit for you, just ask!
Lauren

I’m Lauren, and I’m a relationship therapist. I have a passion for helping others improve the relationships in their lives. Life revolves around the patterns we create and maintain in our relationships with others. Working with me means outlining the patterns in your life that aren’t serving you. Sessions with me include exploring your relationship boundaries, communication styles, individual strengths, and more.

I graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. Then I completed my Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fairfield University. I have additional experience treating:

  • Divorce, remarriage, and blended families
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Anxiety and panic
  • Grief

I provide a nonjudgmental, safe space for my clients. My sessions include:

  • Ways to improve communication with others
  • Understanding patterns of behavior
  • Mindfulness-based approaches
  • Self-regulation interventions for children and teens

In my free time, I watch reruns of The Office, spend time at the Jersey Shore, and relax at home with my husband and two cats. I’m the current Vice President of the New Jersey Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (NJAMFT) Executive Board.

I founded Mindful Connections Counseling to help couples, families, and individuals in Middlesex, Union, Somerset, and Monmouth County. We are conveniently located in Metuchen, near Edison, Woodbridge, and Highland Park.
