Lauren B. Davis, LCSW

As a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and Candidate in Psychoanalysis, I provide psychotherapy and psychoanalysis to people across the lifespan.

My training formally began as a social worker where I spent time in schools and community centers working with diverse populations. Following my time in community mental health, I began psychoanalytic training which involves extensive coursework, a personal analysis, and clinical consultation. Psychoanalysis involves frequent meetings which can provide an immersive experience for illuminating the origins of emotional difficulties, reworking relationship dynamics, and thinking about ones life in ways that promote expansion.

I believe that most psychological problems begin as responses or ways to manage difficult early experiences. Psychotherapeutic work involves identifying what is not working and finding new emotional solutions for living and relating. My approach involves working together to understand what is getting in the way of a fuller living experience and renegotiating how to love, work, and play.
