Lauren Uyeji, LPC

Lauren is a Licensed Professional Counselor with clinical experience across a wide range of settings — from community outpatient to intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and high-acuity inpatient programs. This breadth of experience has given her the opportunity to work with people from different walks of life and at different points in their struggles, and has shaped her into a clinician who brings both flexibility and depth to her work.

Lauren offers trauma-informed care. Her training is grounded in evidence-based approaches, with particular expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma. She approaches each client with genuine curiosity about their specific experience and tailors her approach accordingly. Central to her work is the belief that both acceptance and change are possible, as is movement toward a more meaningful life, even when the path isn't clear.

Lauren works with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, panic, OCD, phobias, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, burnout, perfectionism, and insomnia. She places particular value on meeting people where they are — taking seriously the full context of someone's experience, including the ways that culture, background, and identity shape how people understand and relate to their struggles. She brings cultural humility and patience to her work, with a focus on collaboration, compassion, and helping people develop the kind of self-understanding that can move them forward.

She holds an MA in Psychology from Temple University and a BS in Psychology from the University of Washington, and has been providing therapy since 2014. She is licensed in New Jersey (LPC 37PC00813200) and Washington State (LMHC LH61018187). She is in-network with the Aetna Princeton University Student Health Plan and out-of-network with all other insurance plans.
