Is your child anxious, easily angered, or struggles to focus at school? Maybe your child has difficulties with friends, everyday emotions and seems to not express emotions in a healthy way? Please rest easy. You're in the right place. So many children have similar difficulties and it's extremely frustrating as a caregiver when you just don't know how to help. Because children's brains are developmentally wired differently, they don't often express emotions easily with words. Since traditional talk therapy isn't generally effective with little ones, I use play therapy to help my young clients.

My name is Lauren Garrett, and I have been providing therapy since 2018. Before becoming a licensed therapist, I obtained a master’s degree in social work from NYU and NYU Shanghai, and received training at The New School University in New York City. Following graduate school, I spent a year and a half learning from neuropsychologists about Neurofeedback therapy. I have provided therapy in university, residential, private practice, and medical settings. At the core of my therapeutic approach is psychodynamic therapy, which recognizes the profound impact our past experiences have on our present thoughts and behaviors.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
