You've been carrying something heavy — maybe for years. The kind of weight that doesn't show on the outside but makes everything feel harder: getting through a workday, trusting people, feeling safe in your own body. Whether you're navigating trauma, PTSD, OCD, depression, or anxiety — or healing from experiences of sexual or physical abuse — you don't have to keep managing this alone. I work with adults across New York, including women, Black and multicultural clients, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are done shrinking and ready for something to actually shift.

As a licensed psychologist in New York and New Jersey, I offer remote individual psychotherapy to adults. My approach is collaborative, and you are an active partner in designing your personal goals. I individualize treatment based on your presenting concerns/needs as well as your unique background and history.

I have more than 15 years of experience working in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals and schools.

Hello! My name is Lauren Donato. I have been a mental health counselor for 18 years. Since I was a young girl I knew I wanted to help people, especially people who required advocacy. This led me to start my career working with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. I have worked in group home and clinic settings for over 15 years. My personal experiences also started me on a professional journey providing reproductive counseling for people who are struggling with infertility. I also have a focus on working with people who experienced trauma and those struggling with anxiety and depression. My approach to treatment is client centered. When working with me you should expect to go at your own pace and to have a say in the techniques we use. We will work towards a common goal of you living your best life. I draw upon CBT, DBT, trauma focused, ABA, and mindfulness techniques. I like to think of therapy as the gym for your mind, so you will need to do some work in order to see results. I am happy to provide you with motivation and support during your workout!

As a graduate of New York University with over 25 years of therapeutic support of children, adolescents and young adults in the foster care, psychiatric, educational and substance abuse settings, I provide a compassionate and accepting approach to our time together.
