About me
I’m Lauren Palumbo, LMHC, a U.S.-licensed mental health counselor (New York, Florida, and Vermont) offering support to English-speaking adults living in Europe. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The George Washington University and have training in experiential and evidence-based approaches for emotional growth and personal development.
My early work focused on helping clients through periods of deep transition and change, particularly in the areas of stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. Alongside my clinical background, I’ve also led operations and marketing for a Manhattan-based therapy group, where I helped design systems that put human connection at the center of care.
Today, I draw on this experience to support high-achieving professionals and thoughtful individuals who want to reconnect with themselves, cultivate balance, and live with greater clarity and ease.

Approach
My work is grounded in the science of attachment, emotion, and how the body responds to stress and connection. We’ll go beyond quick fixes to understand what’s really driving your stress, anxiety, or self-doubt. Unlike traditional models, I take a non-pathologizing approach that sees your symptoms and patterns as the mind’s best attempt to help you cope. With curiosity and care, we’ll explore what those patterns are protecting and uncover the strength and capacity for connection already inside you.
I help people make sense of their emotional world and learn to trust their feelings as valuable guides toward healing. When emotions are felt safely rather than avoided, they can transform, releasing tension and opening space for clarity, relief, and deeper connection. Clients describe me as warm, thoughtful, and genuinely “in it” with them. Together, we’ll stay with your emotional experience so you can begin to feel real change take shape, the kind that lasts because it’s felt, not just understood.
