Change and Connection are waiting for you!
Lauren Staley, Relationship and Financial Therapist
Let me guess:
You're here because YOu want something different.
You’ve been feeling weighed down — by hopelessness, frustration, or the sense that things just aren’t getting better. Maybe you’ve tried to hold it all together, but lately it feels harder to keep going the way things are. You don’t have to carry that alone. Change is possible, and healing can begin right where you are.
Beyond the Therapy Room
Teaching and facilitating have also been an important part of my professional and community work.
Over the years, I've facilitated workshops, trainings, group discussions, and educational experiences in professional, church, and community settings. Whether I'm talking about money, relationships, emotional wellness, leadership, or faith, I enjoy taking ideas that can feel complicated or overwhelming and making them practical, relatable, and easier to apply to everyday life.
My experience as a therapist, financial professional, educator, and leader allows me to bring a unique perspective to these conversations — one that considers not only what people do, but the emotions, experiences, relationships, and behaviors that can influence why they do it.
Today, I bring that perspective to speaking engagements and workshops focused on financial wellness, money and relationships, financial behavior, and emotional well-being.
My Approach
No matter what brings you here, my goal is to create spaces where people can feel seen, heard, and supported as they learn, heal, and grow.
In therapy, that means providing a safe and compassionate space to explore what's happening beneath the surface, rebuild connection, and develop healthier patterns.
In workshops and speaking engagements, it means creating conversations that are engaging, practical, and honest — and helping people walk away with greater understanding and meaningful next steps.
You don't have to go through life's challenges in isolation. I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
Hi…I’m Lauren.
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Financial Therapist based in New York. I help couples and individuals navigate the emotional, relational, and practical challenges that come with being human — from infidelity and betrayal to communication breakdowns, disconnection, and financial stress.
My work centers on helping people rebuild trust, deepen understanding, and create healthier patterns — both emotionally and financially. While I specialize in infidelity recovery and relational repair, I also support couples who simply feel stuck, distant, or ready to strengthen their connection before things fall apart.
Because money often touches every part of a relationship, I bring a unique lens as a Certified Financial Therapist. For some clients, that means untangling the emotional roots of money conflicts. For others, it's more about emotional healing, rebuilding intimacy, and learning to feel safe with each other again.
