Lani Pawar(She/Her/Hers)

Lani Pawar is a Licensed Psychoanalyst located in New York, NY who is passionate about helping young adults and mid-career professionals feel less stuck in their lives. She works with individuals who feel that they aren’t satisfied and want to improve their quality of life. Many successful individuals struggle with balancing their personal and professional lives. They seek therapy to work on self-care, reconnect with themselves and break out of old patterns. Some struggle with anxiety, depression, and low-self esteem and seek a greater sense of calm or contentment in their lives. Lani has extensive experience working with parents and those who are going through major life transitions, including career progression or burnout. 

Lani’s approach to therapy draws from psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy, which takes an in-depth and curious approach to the inner mind to better understand thoughts, emotions, and ideas. Psychoanalysis can help you better understand yourself, improve how you function in your daily life and how you relate to others. Lani guides clients through deep introspection, increasing self-awareness so they can more effectively communicate their needs and align their lives around those needs. She also practices Object Relations Therapy and attachment-based therapy, offering clients skills to improve their relationships with others and create greater meaning and fulfillment in their lives.

Lani earned a Master’s degree from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. She is certified in Psychoanalysis and has nearly 10 years of experience working with clients. When working with Lani, clients learn more about themselves and use that knowledge to feel more connected to others and to their authentic selves.
