Lauren J. Cozzolino, MS, LPC, NCC

It is my greatest privilege to be a professional counselor and to be trusted with your story.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Drew University, and completed my graduate degree in counseling from Monmouth University.

I have years of experience providing counseling in K-12 public schools to elementary, middle, and high school aged students, and have worked in a variety of intensive treatment settings such as intensive outpatient, intensive in-community counseling, and intensive school-based counseling programs. I am certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP).

I am passionate about community advocacy, and have lead and co-lead several trainings on LGBTQIA+ affirming care and Shame Resilience Theory (SRT) to other healthcare professionals. I am a published author in the field of research.

Outside of my career, my favorite ways to spend my time are mindful walks in nature, live music concerts, cooking (Iā€™m an Italian foodie), gardening, all things whimsical and enchanted, all things Star Wars, and spending precious time with my family, friends, and two dogs, Zuko and Lucy.
