Lauren Uyeji, LMHC / LPC
Hello!
Welcome here.
No matter how you got here, I hope to be of service.
My graduate training is in clinical psychology and neuroscience. I hold an MA in Psychology from Temple University and a BS in Psychology from the University of Washington. I began providing therapy and neuropsychological assessment services in 2014, working with the Philadelphia community. I have practiced as a clinician for pre-adjudicated and adjudicated youth in Delaware. In Washington, I worked with adults during periods of incarceration. I am licensed in the states of WA and NJ, meaning I can only work with clients located within these state lines. At present, I provide partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient program services to those in specialized women's and general adult treatment tracks at Penn Medicine Princeton Health sites. Additionally, I manage this practice and serve as a part-time clinician at the Princeton Psychotherapy Center.
Much of my clinical practice has aimed to target the following:
-Depressive symptoms
-Anxiety, panic, fear
-Trauma
-Anger and aggression
-Coping through incarceration
-Psychosis
-History of self-injury and suicidal behavior
-Difficulty managing substance use
Treatment offered is informed by the following orientations and approaches:
-Cognitive Behavior Therapy
-Dialectical Behavior Therapy
-Unified Protocol
-Supportive Therapy
-Trauma-informed care
-Cognitive Processing Therapy
-Prolonged Exposure Therapy
-Motivational Interviewing
-Mindfulness practice
-Relaxation and biofeedback
As a therapist, you can expect that I will be ethical, patient, empathic, present, and accepting. I welcome feedback about the therapeutic process and highly value collaboration. Approaches to counseling will be personalized. I hope to accurately understand perspectives and offer both effective and efficient strategies toward well-being.
There are many reasons why someone may decide to seek professional help for their mental health, and further endeavors are likely to arise as discussion and insight develop. Through Bright Insight Therapy Services and this healthcare platform, I extend an offer to support you through whatever the journey may bring.
Thank you so much.
Warm regards,
Lauren Uyeji
