Lauren, therapist for women struggling with people-pleasing and self-trust

Lauren Milo, LMHC, LPC

I’m a licensed mental health counselor who helps highly motivated, high achieving women navigate life obstacles related to trust and self-esteem that impact their relationships and daily lives. I see clients online in NY, NJ, MA, CT and FL.

I received my Master’s in Developmental Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University and my M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Boston College. After two years as an MHC-LP completing my clinical hours, I founded Lost Girl in 2023.

How I Work

I blend insight-oriented therapy and person-centered approaches to help clients leave people-pleasing habits, and unhealthy relationship patterns behind.

I enjoy working with individuals who are ready to change their lives. My clients know who they are and who they want to become, they simply desire support getting from point A to point B.

My specialities include attachment theory, anxiety and ADHD.

You are not lost.

You are coming back to yourself.

What I Believe

I believe that many women have spent so much of their lives being what everyone else needed them to be that they no longer feel able to easily access the life they always wanted.

They know how to be successful. They know how to take care of everyone else. They know how to keep going. But they need a gentle reminder that they can trust themselves.

On a personal note…

Before I was a therapist, I was someone who spent years trying to be who everyone else needed me to be.

I know what it is like to be high-achieving, thoughtful, and capable on the outside while quietly feeling disconnected on the inside.

I know what it is like to keep overthinking, overgiving, and wondering why life still doesn’t feel the way you hoped it would.

For a long time, I believed the answer was to work harder, be better, and hold it all together.

But eventually I realized that what I was really longing for was not a different life—it was a deeper connection with myself.

That realization changed everything.
