About Me

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) providing individual therapy. While I have experience working with a variety of clinical issues such as depression and anxiety, I am particularly interested in weight and body image issues, identity development, relationships and young adult transitions.

I received Master’s Degrees in both Social Work and Public Health from Boston University in 2005 and my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Theater from Colgate University in 2002.    I have worked with teenagers, young adults and adults in college, hospital, community health center, and high school settings.

My style as a therapist is energetic, interactive and casual. I believe the therapist and the client should be working together, and I work hard to create a supportive and comfortable therapeutic environment.

My office is located at 129 Mt. Auburn Street, Cambridge, right in Harvard Square and easily accessible from the Red Line and many MBTA bus routes. If you would like to learn more about my practice please contact me at laurenschiffertherapy@gmail.com.
