Lauren Linn
I’m Lauren, a Holistic and solution-oriented psychotherapist licensed in the state of New York, and founder of Every Body Therapy. I practice through a social justice, trauma-informed, body liberationist, and Health at Every Size (HAES)® lens. Along with my clients, I aim to co-create a therapeutic space that is grounded in empathy, collaboration, healing, and insight.
A session with me will feel both supportive and challenging. I aim to encourage you to embrace discomfort in order to get to the root of the issue. From there, we will work as a team to process, honor, and heal whatever lies beneath. I contribute the clinical expertise, and you contribute your own insight and experience.
I hold two B.A.s from Boston University in Psychology & Philosophy and Forensic Developmental Psychology. I also received my Masters in Clinical Social Work from The Columbia University School of Social Work. I am ASDAH, NASW, and EMDRIA affiliated.
I am IFS and EMDR trained and have post-graduate training in Substance Use/Chemical Dependency from the Yale School of Medicine as well as in CBT-E. In addition to my private practice work, I act as a guest facilitator for Global Girls Prep's Women-In-Action program, connecting with students who are interested in deepening their learning of body politics and the relevant systemic and societal harm. I also offer consulting for those looking to further their mental health competency within their workplace or school.

Frayde Yudkowsky
Meet Frayde Yudkowsky, LSW, LMSW, CTP
Founder of THRIVE! Mental Health
Therapist • Educator • Advocate • Community Activist • System • Fashionista
Hi!! I’m Frayde Yudkowsky — and yes, I wear a lot of hats. Literally and figuratively.
I’m a licensed therapist in NY, NJ, and AZ, a Certified Trauma Professional, the proud founder of THRIVE! Mental Health, and a lifelong advocate for healing, honesty, and radical compassion.
I’m also a polyfragmented system living with DID, and that lived experience is my badge of honor. It’s the heartbeat behind everything I do.
My Work in the World
Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, valued, and safe to be who they really are. That calling has taken me around the world — from the U.S. to Australia and back again — and into nearly every corner of the mental health field:
Psych hospitals
Rehabs, PHPs, IOPs, and outpatient centers
Alternative high schools, wilderness programs, sober homes
In-home counseling and nonprofit leadership
I’ve founded and directed several organizations, helped build others from the ground up, and always stayed rooted in one thing: people first.
Ready to help other Systems heal and THRIVE, I founded THRIVE! Mental Health — a private therapy practice based in New Jersey that supports clients in New Jersey, New York, and Arizona.
I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults — offering individual therapy, groups, and creative modalities that meet people where they are.
My specialty? Working with systems who live with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and OSDD.
Together, we explore who’s who inside, learn how each part is trying to protect, connect, or survive, and gently build internal communication rooted in curiosity and compassion.
Groups I Facilitate:
• DID/OSDD Support Group
• Creative Expression Therapy Group
• Chronic Pain Support Group
• Chronic Illness/Disability Support Group
• Sand Tray Therapy Group
• MHP Support Group
• [And more coming soon…]
Why I Do This
Because I know what it’s like to be on both sides of the therapy room.
Because systems deserve to be supported, not pathologized.
Because healing happens when we’re held — not fixed.
Whether you’re here as a client, a colleague, a fellow traveler, or just curious — I’m so glad you found your way to THRIVE!
Here, we see you. All of you.
