Integrative therapy for deep, embodied, soul-level change and healing.
Reconnect with yourself, your body, your life, and your purpose.
Lauren Zaniboni, Psy.D. is a Clinical and Somatic Psychologist in Massachusetts who specializes in holistic therapy and therapy intensives for disordered eating and clinical eating disorders,trauma healing, life transitions, and identity work (who am I am what am I doing here?)
You’re dynamic and layered. Your therapy should be too.
You’ve done the reading, the reflecting, the podcast listening, and maybe even the talk therapy. You feel like you understand yourself and your story, but you still feel stuck.
That’s because healing isn’t just thought. It is embodied and felt across mind, body, heart, and soul.
I offer an integrative approach that thoughtfully combines insight-oriented psychotherapy with relational, somatic, and experiential practices to help clients move beyond awareness toward deep, embodied change and healing that lasts.
Here for it all—the shadows, the joy, and the magic of transformation.
If you feel:
Like you’re surviving, functioning, and getting through the day—but not truly living
As though there are parts of you that you've had to hide, suppress, or make smaller to be accepted
Like you have spent so much time attending to others needs that you feel you don’t know who you are anymore
Stuck in the same patterns despite years of therapy, self-reflection, or personal growth work
Chronically misunderstood or like you are different from others in some fundamental way
Like you’re constantly second-guessing yourself and looking outside yourself for answers
Disconnected from your body, emotions, intuition, or sense of self
As though you struggle to feel safe, connected, or fully yourself in your relationships, even with people you are close to
Like you’re exhausted from holding it all together while struggling in silence
I would love to help you create a life that feels more connected, authentic, embodied, and alive.
Many of my clients:
Are insightful, reflective, and self-aware
Feel like they don’t fit neatly into societies prescribed boxes
Are curious about somatic practices, embodiment, spirituality, and/or holistic, mind-body-soul approaches to healing
Identify as empathic and/or highly sensitive (HSPs)
Are capable and successful, but struggling in private
Are recovering from trauma, burnout, people-pleasing, or perfectionism
Identify as neurodivergent, including Autistic and/or ADHD neurotypes
Feel connected to their intuition but may struggle to distinguish intuition vs. anxiety
Are looking for deeper meaning, purpose, connection, or authenticity in their lives
Tailored Support That Meets You Where You Are
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Whether you’re looking for condensed and transformative therapy intensives, or more consistent weekly or bi-weekly support, you’re in the right place.
-
Therapy Intensives
For those who are seeking deep healing across mind, body, heart, and soul, intensives are powerful containers for focused work in a condensed format. They offer a personalized experience tailored to your unique needs, goals, and schedule and are designed to support deep change and healing in days, rather than months or years.
-
Holistic Therapy
Some seasons call for consistent support. Holistic therapy consists of weekly or bi-weekly sessions that offer a grounded, connected, and safe space to explore patterns, gain clarity, work through trauma, heal your nervous system, and reclaim your authenticity, power, and purpose.
It’s nice to meet you
I’m Dr. Lauren Z., a Clinical and Somatic Psychologist who helps people who are feeling lost, stuck, overwhelmed, untethered, or trapped in patterns that aren’t serving them reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and inner wisdom; heal trauma; and cultivate a deeper sense of meaning, purpose, and aliveness.
My work is integrative, relational, and grounded in the understanding that wellbeing is rooted in connection—to ourselves, our bodies, our relationships, our communities, the earth, and our sense of meaning and purpose.
In addition to my primary Clinical and Somatic Psychology framework, my practice is also informed by my experiences as a Reiki Master Healer, Yoga Instructor, Intuitive, and Artist, as well as advanced studies in transpersonal and energy psychology, shadow work, eastern theologies, indigenous wisdom and healing practices, and non-secular spirituality.
I am a trusted guide and fellow traveler. My journey of trauma healing, cancer survivorship, and shadow work has taught me that life’s greatest challenges can be portals to empowerment, safety, and vitality. This mind-body-soul level healing requires honoring the full spectrum of the human experience, so you won’t find any bypassing or toxic positivity here. What you will find is authenticity, connection, embodied wisdom, empowerment, and a little magic.
I specialize in working with clients navigating disordered eating and clinical eating disorders, trauma healing, life transitions, and identity work (who am I and what am I doing here?).
I have worked in the wellness and healing space for over a decade, and as clinical therapist for over 7 years. In that time, I have had the privilege of working with many amazing clients in a variety of settings, including intensive residential eating disorder care, University Counseling, Women’s Health at the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, Brown University’s Center for Children & Families, and outpatient community mental healthcare.

We are likely a good fit if:
You're looking for a therapist who is genuine, engaged, authentic, and human
You are looking for a personalized approach tailored to your unique needs, goals, strengths, and challenges, not a one-size-fits-all solution
You feel that something is no longer working for you
You want to feel more connected to yourself, others, your body, your story, your intuition, or your purpose
You are creative, curious, and looking for new ways of understanding yourself, others, your experiences, your body, and your nervous system
You resonate with the idea that healing is multidimensional and involves more than understanding your story or changing your thoughts
You are ready to experience the power of returning to yourself and your body
We may not be a great fit if:
You prefer a “blank slate in a suit” style of therapist
You prefer a structured, highly clinical approach to therapy
You’re looking for a quick fix solution
You are not interested in exploring holistic or integrative healing modalities
You are primarily seeking symptom management through a directive, skills-based approach
Therapy With Me Is
-
Grounded
A safe and containing space is essential for growth and healing. Work with me takes place in a grounded container where you feel held, supported, and able to feel, explore, and move through what emerges.
-
Connected
As humans, we are wired for connection. Healing happens when we are in right-relationship with ourselves, others, and the world around us. I show up with curiosity, compassion, and genuine presence, to create a space where you can feel safe, seen, understood, and supported.
-
Authentic
Authenticity makes us feel safe and seen. I show up as a warm, real person, not a blank slate that analyzes you from behind a professional mask. I will always be real with you. If I am being honest, there may even be a coffee stain on my shirt :)
-
Experiential & Creative
Some layers of our experience can’t be accessed through words alone. Experiential practices, including somatic journeying, guided imagery, expressive arts, yoga, Energy Psychology, and nature-based techniques can support deeper exploration, insight, and healing when words alone are not enough.
-
Transformative
Lasting change takes more than insight—it requires lived, embodied shifts in thought, emotion, energy, and behavior. The work I do goes beyond symptom management to help you move past coping into true freedom. Together, we will empower you to step forward into the life you want to create.
-
Come As You Are
All parts of you are welcome, including the ones that feel messy, uncertain, or hard to name. My goal is to create a space where you can show up authentically, without masks, defenses, or the pressure to perform. There is no judgment or shame here, and no emotion too big, experience too complicated, or topic too taboo.
