Lauren Zavodnick, LPC

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard and supported while actively working toward treatment goals. I collaborate with clients to develop practical strategies and tools that support progress and help make goals feel achievable and meaningful.

My journey into psychology and therapy began at a young age, shaped by personal experiences with mental health during the teenage years. Those experiences inspired a strong desire to support others through their own mental health challenges. I began my educational path at Montclair State University and continued at Fairleigh Dickinson University, earning a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and Counseling.

I am committed to offering a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. I focus on helping clients set realistic, achievable goals while providing consistent support throughout the therapeutic process. My approach is person-centered and integrative, drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities to best meet individual needs.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of ages and populations, with a primary focus over the past three years on adolescents and adults. I have experience supporting concerns such as ADHD, adjustment disorders, anxiety, autism spectrum conditions, bipolar disorder, depression, developmental disabilities, eating disorders, OCD, and trauma-related challenges.

One of my greatest strengths is creating an environment that feels welcoming, safe, and free from judgment—allowing space for growth, healing, and meaningful change.
