Originally from North Florida, Lana has lived and worked across the East Coast and in the UK. Her background spans clinical, academic, and faith-based settings, shaping her attention to how identity, relationships, and belief systems are lived—often outside of awareness.

She holds an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary and an MA in Mental Health Counseling and Spiritual Integration from Fordham University. She is currently pursuing advanced psychoanalytic training at Pulsion: The International Institute of Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychosomatics.

Lana is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and the founder of Lana June Therapy, a private practice based in New York City.

Her practice focuses on LGBTQ+ and gender-expansive clients, as well as those navigating spirituality, religious trauma, and the psychic effects of oppression.

Her work is grounded in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic traditions. She listens for how patterns take shape and repeat, how desire becomes organized, and how earlier experiences continue to structure the present. The work is not oriented toward quick solutions, but toward making space for what has not yet been thought or said.

Lana was honored for her service to the LGBTQ+ community by PFY Long Island in 2024.
