Meet Our Founder
Lauren Gargano, LCSW
A licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice, Lauren saw a need for mental health education for all. Her classes provide long overdue accessible mental health education, with concepts that can be easily integrated into all aspects of life for more clarity, happiness and success. ​
Why Is Mental Health Education Important?
Most of us walk around in the dark, and don't even know it. Mental health education gives us the means to understand the depth and entirety of our experiences, turning the light on. Illuminating all aspects of ourselves and our experiences, we have access to understanding what we truly want and what our obstacles are to getting it.

A New Approach
​
By teaching how the psychological and emotional realms of all humans function, areas that are often overlooked, we provide the tools to walk out of the dark and into success, ease and happiness.
​
For Our Systems, Too.
​Because our systems are made up of people, mental health education helps facilitate illumination, ease, success and happiness in them as well. The more we understand ourselves and others, the better our systems can be, too. Better systems mean better support, furthering the universal quest for ease, success and happiness in life.
Our Classes
​
A five class series provides the basics of human development, and how our development impacts our relationships to ourselves, others and the world. Each class teaches one of these and how to easily integrate concepts into any aspect of life.

I have found the classes very eye opening, compassionate and inspirational. They provide a point of reference that puts in a positive context many questions that we often don't have an answer to or are ashamed of asking.

It was enlightening and was a reminder that I am not alone with the way I think. It's been a while since I was in a group discussion and it was great to be a part of it. I came away with new insights for myself and for my family.
