I’m Lauren Knapp, a psychoanalyst practicing in person in Brooklyn, NY and virtually for video sessions. I’m guided by Relational Psychoanalytic and Jungian Depth Psychology as well as Trauma frameworks. I believe our deepest wounds hold the seeds for our most profound transformations. With respect to our complexities, I work with a balance of art and science and to help grow new parts of Self and shed what’s no longer useful. We can do this by integrating the psyche-soma connection.

The relationship we have with ourselves is reflected in the choices we make (or don’t make) and how we understand the world around us. I aim to provide an atmosphere of nonjudgemental openness and resonance. Through emotional resonance we might find a way to evolve your relationship with yourself. The most meaningful healing happens in human relationship, so I attend to energetic and experiential depths. I see myself as an active participant in the alchemical process of therapeutic work.

I am a certified psychoanalyst with a Masters degree in Social Work from NYU. I currently supervise training psychotherapists and am a member of the Training Faculty and Staff for the Two Year Psychoanalytic Program at Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis.

Outside of the treatment room I’m practicing yoga, writing and painting, and connecting with nature and loved ones.
