Ronald S. Lawrence, LCSW
Licensed Psychotherapist 

I work with people who want to understand themselves more deeply, address emotional difficulties, and explore patterns in their relationships with themselves and others.

 

I bring curiosity and care to this work. We will take time to understand your experience, including the parts of you that want change and the parts that may feel threatened by it.

 

Training and professional background

 

I earned my master’s degree at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. I am in my fourth year of psychoanalytic training at the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, with graduation expected in October 2027. I have also completed one year of training at the William Alanson White Institute.

 

Experience that informs my work

 

My work in behavioral health began in 2007. My experience includes counseling, psychotherapy, and leadership roles in residential and community programs, as well as private practice. This background includes work with people facing mental health difficulties, substance use, and other addictions.
