Lauren Palumbo LMHC, LCMHC

Therapy isn’t about endless analysis, it’s about making sure you’re moving forward in a way that feels intentional and fulfilling. It’s about having a space where you're authentic self is truly welcomed, not judged. When someone is really with you in your experience, it becomes easier to stay with feelings that might otherwise feel too big or too vulnerable. That’s often where real change begins.

Clients have described me as someone who brings clarity, depth, and a grounded presence to the therapy process. My work goes beyond symptom management where we focus on making space for the emotions and patterns that have been shaping your experience, so you can begin to feel more connected to yourself and what truly matters.

Before starting my private practice, I worked in a substance abuse intensive outpatient program, supporting individuals facing addiction, trauma, and the emotional weight of trying to hold everything together. That work offered a powerful window into how people survive often by staying in control, staying busy, or shutting off emotionally when things feel too overwhelming. In my own life and in my work, I’ve seen how often high achievers carry quiet burdens: the pressure to perform, the fear of letting others down, the disconnect from their own needs. That’s what led me to specialize in this area. Today, I help driven, thoughtful people untangle what’s underneath the surface and find a more honest, sustainable way of being–one that leaves more room for emotion, connection, and self-trust.
