Hello, my name is Lauren. Reading this could be your first step towards meaningful change. Well done! I have ten years of experience as a therapist with a masters in Social Work, and an under graduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies and 9 years of experience with teaching preschool. I support individual adults through the process of identifying what they want to experience in life, what the obstacles are and the steps to get there.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session I will ask you some questions in order to get a general overview of what brings you to therapy, your background and your goals. This will help us develop a plan for getting you started.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My interest in becoming a therapist started at a young age (about 12) when I noticed that people tell me things. I wanted to learn more about how to honor a person's trust in me and why is it so helpful to say big and scary things out loud. I strive to provide a non judgemental, safe space and I believe that knowledge is power. Whenever it is appropriate, I can share resources such as books, podcasts and apps that will support you.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with adults one on one. Supporting them through transitions in life, family conflict and frequent worry. I frequently work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness to help clients achieve their goals.
