Very tenderhearted. Very sensitive to my needs even more than I am. I feel very respected.

IF not for MS. Shapiro, I'm not sure if I'd have come as far as I have in the amount of time that I have. Having someone in your corner who doesn't judge, and is genuinely interested in seeing you move forward is such a ray of sunshine through the darkness. I wouldn't trade her for anything else in this world right now. There's still more work to be done, but as far as a guide through this world goes? I wouldn't choose another.

Thank you, Ms. Shapiro.

I have had several therapists in the past and thought they were decent, until I had an appointment with Lauren. She was amazing, she was so non judgmental and made me feel so comfortable, I never felt that freedom with any of my other therapists. She gave me worksheets to fill out which I am very grateful for because it helps me gauge where I'm at and where I need to grow. Even though I have only had one session with her, I am excited and optimistic for our sessions to come.

Thank you Dr. Shapiro, you have taught me valuable skills I can use to communicate and have more positive outcomes.
