More about Lauren

- LCSW-C
I am a seasoned trauma based therapist who is passionate about helping you find your balance and better understand the "what? why? and how?" that impact your daily life. I prioritize psychoeducation and believe that by the time we are through, you should have the knowledge and skills to feel confident without me.
I prioritize balance and compassion for the humanity of how we show up in the world while encouraging growth towards being our best selves.
I hold certifications as a Clinical Trauma Professional and as a Sex Offender Treatment Provider and have specialized training in EMDR, DNMS, healing from religious trauma and high control groups, as well as psych based nutrition fundamentals. Using these we will work together to set a strong foundation, process the past, and synthesize your parts of self so you can move forward with emotional resilience and increased confidence in your ability to thrive.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
