Lauren Simon

My treatment approach is integrative and holistic, and centering the client’s treatment needs is my number one priority. I am mainly a psychodynamic, interpersonal, and attachment oriented therapist, but like to intersperse behavioral techniques as needed. As a sex-educator, I approach all my clients from a sex-positive, trauma-informed perspective.

My top priority as a clinician is working at the intersection of sexual and mental health. From my background as a sex educator, I am never one to shy away from uncomfortable and taboo topics. It is important to me to provide LGBTQ+, kink, non-monogamous, and sex work affirming care to my diverse caseload. Furthermore, as a social worker dedicated to the mission of social justice with a background in implicit bias research, providing accessible, culturally-humble care from an anti-oppressive framework is imperative to my clinical practice. I only speak English and I work with teens and adults.
