Lauren's Biography
Lauren Safran is a psychotherapist specializing in maternal mental health.
Starting a family is such a significant life transition. It has an enormous impact on a woman and her partner. Fertility complications, and mood disorders in the pregnancy and postpartum periods are obstacles to a positive family experience.
Ms. Safran provides support for Mom and family, and assures women that they are not alone and they will recover. She assists women in learning to trust their maternal instincts, gain confidence and find the joy they had hoped for.
Ms. Safran graduated with honors in psychology from George Washington University in Washington, DC. and received her Masters from Columbia University.
