About Shlomo Lawrence
Shlomo Lawrence is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), meaning he is trained and licensed to help individuals, couples, and families work through relationship patterns, emotional challenges, and life transitions. He is licensed in Florida and Texas and earned his graduate degree from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida in 2007. Since then, he has worked across a range of counseling settings, including community-based care, addiction treatment with co-occurring concerns, and trauma-focused services supporting people impacted by overwhelming experiences.
Across his career, he has worked with a wide spectrum of clinical needs, including substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, obsessive behaviors, and spectrum disorders. He also supports couples and families navigating marriage and family strain, inter-familial conflict, and relationship stress. His background includes work with second- and third-generation survivors of trauma, and he understands how painful experiences can echo across family systems and shape the way people cope, connect, and make meaning of their lives.
Shlomo Lawrence brings a compassionate, active listening style and strives to be easy to speak with, helping clients feel supported as trust develops over time. He recognizes that stigma and the process of reaching out for help can make starting therapy feel daunting, and he approaches that beginning with care and patience. Clinically, he draws from multiple therapy models, and he notes a particular focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused approaches, narrative and structural therapy, integrative couples therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), for which he has extensive training.
