Lauren Ashley Shapiro

I received my Doctorate in Clinical-Forensic Psychology California School of Forensic Studies' Alliant International University in June 2015 and was granted licensure by the California Board of Psychology in March 2017. I completed my doctoral dissertation on Contemporary Attitudes Towards Psychopathy. I have been active in the mental health field since 2009 and specialize in clients who have histories of trauma, substance abuse, chronic pain, anxiety, and gender-fluid and sexually non-conforming identities. I primarily treat teens and young adults but have also worked extensively with adults and the geriatric population. Most recently, I worked at the intersection of mental health, the legal/justice system (Forensic) and the medical field (Med-legal) to specialize in the complex world of psycho-legal issues. I also have an extensive background in conducting psychological and neurocognitive testing, forensic/legal report writing, neuropsychological rehabilitation treatment, and clinical consultation.
