Lauren Schechter, Pre-Licensed Professional. Supervised by Matthew R. Shupp, Ed.D., NCC, BC-TMH, ACS, LPC-(PA), LCPC-(MD).

My clients describe me as:

being supportive, directive, playful, and challenging.

Something to know about my approach is:

my unique combination of master’s degrees supports my skillset of critical thinking, problem-solving, empathy, and emotional intelligence. I value your time, energy, and money and so I cater our sessions to be most productive and supportive for you.

Together, we will:

devise a strategy for how to achieve your goals & objectives efficiently and effectively. We will work on your self-awareness and self-worth, communication, relationships (to self & others), achieve personal growth, and learn lifelong coping skills.

I specialize in working with people who:

want to improve their communication, coping skills, self-worth, relationships, life adjustments, boundary management, sex life, anxiety, divorce, infidelity, depression, abuse/trauma, sexual dysfunctions/disorders, sexuality, intimacy, kinks & more.

I became a therapist because:

life is too short to not invest in mental health & well-being. People deserve focused, customized care and unwavering support to be most fulfilled.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer in-person sessions in Philly along with virtual sessions to meet you where you are. (There are many great food and drink options nearby, too!)

More about me and my practice:

I value prompt communication and am committed to respond to your message within one business day. I recognize the demands of finding a therapist and value your time and energy. I look forward to meeting with you and seeing how we can work together.
