Dr. Lauren Appio is a licensed psychologist in Midtown, Manhattan who enjoys working with the kinds of people who put others first. Her practice is focused on providing support and counseling for caregivers, people-pleasers, and perfectionists facing challenges around codependency, boundary-setting, low self-esteem, and significant life transitions. As an experienced therapist with a background in multicultural psychology and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), she helps clients release chronic guilt and anxiety, prioritize self-care, and balance their needs with the needs of others. Dr. Appio uses an integrative, interactive approach to therapy, where clients have the opportunity to better understand their experiences and learn the skills to make meaningful changes in their life now. Her clients have described her as calming, candid, and encouraging.
Dr. Appio also has expertise in career counseling. Clients come to her office with a wide range of career challenges including dissatisfaction with their jobs, burnout, taking on new responsibilities, and career development after college or graduate school. With career clients, Dr. Appio takes a supportive, strengths-based, and solution-focused approach to identify sources of dissatisfaction and overcome career barriers.
Dr. Appio is excited to help clients feel more empowered and freed up to enjoy their lives. She is only available to meet with clients virtually at this time.
