"I cannot say enough about Lauren – she has helped me in so many ways that I am forever grateful. After struggling with anorexia and bulimia for 8 years, I cannot imagine where I would be today if I hadn't started therapy. In only a years time, I have made a great deal of progress that I can attribute to, for a large part, Mrs. Stern. She is, and always has been, available to me whenever I needed her – whether in the form of an email at two a.m after a rough day ... or in an emergency session. Lauren helped me to break patterns of my eating disorder that I had not even thought were "breakable" until now. She helped me to find a college that was good for me, continued to motivate me whenever I needed her to do so, and aided me, obviously, in the recovery process. I cannot express my appreciation, but I can say that I am not sure if I would be alive to type this without her!
