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.

Attorney Melissa Needle is a lifetime Connecticut resident. She was born in New Haven, raised in Fairfield, and now resides in Westport with her family. Attorney Needle is a third generation attorney with deep family roots in Connecticut. Her father, Attorney Charles Needle, was a founder of the Connecticut firm Zeldes, Needle & Cooper in 1971. Since her admission to the Connecticut Bar in 1990, Melissa has exclusively practiced divorce and family law. Melissa started Needle | Cuda: Divorce and Family Law in 2010. The American Institute of Family Law Attorneys named Needle | Cuda a Connecticut Top 10 Best Firm in Client Satisfaction in 2019, 2020, and 2021.
Attorney Needle is an active litigator with an impressive track record. Many of the cases in which Melissa appears involve high net worth divorce property division, complex business valuations, highly contested custody, and petitions for child relocation. She is well-known in Connecticut courts as a forceful, but fair fighter; an attorney with great integrity; and as a worthy adversary who does not shy away from litigation if that path is the best opportunity for her client to reach an equitable solution. Melissa understands that divorce is not just about the dissolution of marriage or stop-gap solutions but helping clients develop and negotiate a comprehensive plan for the rest of their lives.
