LCSW, 25 years of experience
I want to meet a client where they are at, therefore where one wants to start. I am genuine and authentic and want to assist someone to get the help and resources they may need to be and feel better as a person overall. I enjoy teaching skills and am constantly learning new skills and techniques to be a better therapist. I also may push at times in order to assist one to explore further what it is they are experiencing.
I typically ask many questions about different life areas. I explore where one is at in order to grasp a well-rounded understanding and be able to direct the best treatment modality and style.
I am easy to talk to, as I am nonjudgmental, I use humor at times to diffuse situations and prefer to build on what one is doing well and continue to move in that direction. I meet clients where they are at.
I am familiar with working with trauma and depression as well as clients struggling with anxiety. I am familiar with relationship struggles and figuring out life for oneself.
EMDR is an evidence-based practice effective with trauma, depression & anxiety and other struggles.
CBT Techniques are useful to decrease symptoms which are troublesome and also to teach skills to decrease struggles.
Faith based therapy to explore how one can use their faith to work through struggles and find relief.
Mindfulness can be utilized to self soothe and calm and assist with gaining personal insight.
Motivational Interviewing is great to assess where one is at and where one wants to be and how they want to make change.

Lauren is very easy to talk to, has a humor side which I like. Knowledgeable of things that I'm dealing with. And has a warm disposition.

This providers bio called to me. It seemed as if she had the experience that I was needing. After our first session, I already feel like this is someone I will be able to connect with. She is kind, warm and willing to assist me in my journey.

She made me the comfiest I have felt with a therapist since I was a pre teen. It's hard to explain but so far, I am really looking forward to my healing journey.
