About Me

Lauren Amigo
MA, ATR-BC, LCAT (NY), LMHC (FL)

I attended New York University and graduated from Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development with a major in Applied Psychology and a minor in Studio Art and Anthropology. In the following year, I graduated from New York University's Steinhardt Graduate School with a Master's of Arts in Art Therapy.

I am a board-certified registered art therapist (ATR-BC) and licensed creative arts therapist (LCAT) in the state of New York. I am also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I have been passionate about my career as an art therapist for over 10 years. I have interviewed for Gothamist and WNYC Radio discussing the powerful and beneficial impact of art therapy for high-school students during the Covid-19 pandemic.

My therapeutic and humanistic approach focuses on encouraging agency, empowering individual goals, and facilitating healing. I believe that a thoughtful and psychodynamic process of individualized or group art therapy creates a space for safe emotional and creative exploration.
