Lauren Vetere, LMSW

Healing and self-discovery invite you to fully accept yourself. As humans, we all face challenges that can feel overwhelming to navigate alone. In a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space, I’m here to listen and support you in exploring those challenges while equipping you with tools to foster emotional balance. I recognize that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, each person’s journey and needs are distinct. My approach respects your emotional state at every step, drawing on evidence-based techniques to help you find relief and empowerment in your unique path to growth.

About Me

I graduated from Fordham University with a Masters in Social Work, where I honed my skills in fostering meaningful therapeutic connections. During my graduate studies, I underwent intensive training for two years at New York-Presbyterian Hospital’s inpatient unit, gaining invaluable experience in supporting individuals through complex emotional and mental health challenges. This rigorous training deepened my ability to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in high-intensity settings. As a proud member of the New York Academy of Medicine, I stay connected to a community dedicated to advancing health and well-being, which informs my practice with the latest insights and approaches.
