LCSW, 12 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello, my name is Lauren Behr. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked in and adult inpatient substance abuse treatment centers, in private practice and with school based children after tragedy and crisis. I have a client- centered approach and will meet you where you are at in our therapeutic journey. Your sessions are about you.
You can expect my first session to to be warm and for me to want to understand who you are as a person.
My experience working in many settings has allowed me to be versatile in my approach. I have worked with most diagnoses and can determine if I can help you. I have worked with many people who have endured awful things in life and help them to understand how it has affected them.
My dream client would be someone who is aware they want to make changes in their life. Maybe you have gone through too many things that are not your fault, but want to learn and grown from them.
I use cognitive Behavioral Therapy to alter negative thinking patterns and improve quality of life for my clients.
I educate my clients on attachment styles to encourage a gaining of insight and reduce anxiety in everyday relationships.
I utilize grief therapy to provide a safe place to talk about your passed loved ones. I also work with clients struggling with anticipatory grief.
I utilize mindfulness to educate clients on how to empower their minds to be present. This therapy works to reduce anxiety.
I utilize narrative therapy to empower clients to see their thoughts and stories on paper. This helps to allow re processing memories.
