About Lauren Rothstein

About my approach (style) to therapy…

I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and empathic space where you can explore your own thoughts and feelings and feel heard and understood. I actively listen and assist you to raise awareness of conscious, and unconscious processes and how they impact your relationships with yourself and others. I offer the opportunity for you to explore your concerns while learning healthy and effective ways to cope with intense feelings, resolve problems, and care for yourself. I use an eclectic mix of therapeutic approaches tailored specifically for you. Evidence shows that the quality of the patient-therapist relationship plays the most important role in the ultimate outcome of your therapy. I am committed to giving you the highest quality of care that best suits your needs.

About my background and training..

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Syracuse University and my Master of Social work from Adelphi University. My passion for helping people in a more holistic approach motivated me to earn my Certification of Integrative Nutrition Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I have over 28 years of experience providing individual and group therapy in both private practice and several leading treatment centers.

I was a Primary Therapist and later a co-owner of the prestigious dual diagnosis treatment center, Lifeskills of South Florida; formerly named Lifeskills of Boca Raton. It was there I developed various treatment programs and the Eating Wellness track to focus on all aspects of emotional eating issues. In addition, I facilitated Trauma and Emotional Eating groups in other local South Florida treatment centers. As a result, my patients come from diverse backgrounds with a variety of different life circumstances.
