Lauren Grey
There are many different reasons someone may seek out support from a therapist. Client's working with me often have reasons due to challenges or struggles in navigating perinatal experience, or distress from trauma in their life. Everyone’s struggles or stressors are personal and unique and therapy can be a wonderful way to talk about your distress safely and without judgement. When clients and I work together, we set achievable goals that focus on hopes and desires for wellness and balance. This includes relief from symptoms that have caused burden on your mental wellness. My experience in the behavioral health and wellness field has shaped my understanding and approach to supporting clients with a person-centered method for therapy. I specialize in supporting individuals that have experienced trauma, and client's navigating maternity and postpartum mental health issues. Let me support you in navigating difficult or challenging moments and transitions in your life. Remember that you are not alone, and asking for help is one of the strongest actions you can take.

First session
In our first session, we will discuss the establishing of safety, trust, and confidentiality within the therapeutic relationship. We will also work together to set a desired treatment goal, session frequency, and how I can support you on your journey to a healthier wellbeing. We will also talk about your current symptoms and what is causing distress at this time in your life, who are your current supports, and what you've been utilizing to cope. I often aim to keep the initial session to under one hour and try my best to ensure you feel comfortable and regulated before we end our intake session.
Strengths
Over the years in this field, I have had much success supporting clients that have been experiencing depression, trauma/PTSD, postpartum and motherhood issues, and professional/work related stress. Many of these mental health concerns can be experienced together. I have the confidence and experience to support and help you navigate even complex concerns regarding your mental health and wellness.
