Lauren Reddington LMSW — she/her

SOCIAL WORKER & ASSOCIATE THERAPIST

Lauren Reddington is a social worker specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and trauma. She has a special interest in the intersection of eating disorders and trauma, including how trauma can impact eating disorder symptoms and helping her clients find a sense of safety within themselves and in relationships with others.

Lauren works with adults, adolescents, and families using an integrative therapeutic approach centered on collaboration. She tailors each treatment to the unique needs of each client, taking a client-centered approach. She believes that trust is earned–not expected–and she seeks to earn her client’s trust over time by co-creating a safe therapeutic environment in which healing and change can occur.

Her work is strongly informed by Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), a therapeutic modality focused on helping clients connect with the different parts of themselves by creating space for each part to be heard, honored, and healed so they can come together in an integrated and balanced way. IFS can be transformative, especially for clients struggling with deep feelings of shame. Lauren is also trauma-informed, Health At Every Size (HAES) aligned, and social justice oriented. Lauren identifies as queer and is passionate about working with folks in the LGBTQIA+ community. In addition to her work specializing in eating disorders, Lauren also has specialized training in working with people struggling with problematic substance use as well as those who have experienced domestic violence.

Lauren earned her Masters in Social Work (MSW) degree from Rutgers University and Bachelors of Arts (BA) degree from the University of Delaware with a dual major in Gender Studies and Psychology and a minor in Domestic Violence Prevention and Services. In addition to her work at Conason Psychological Services, Lauren also works as a primary therapist at Balance Eating Disorder Treatment Center and has experience working in outpatient and partial hospitalization (PHP) levels of eating disorder treatment.

Lauren Reddington is available for in-person sessions at our NYC office and for virtual sessions with clients across New York State and Vermont.
