LPC, 17 years of experience
Welcome and thank you for considering Free The Mind as your next therapeutic support system. Seeking therapy can feel a little embarrassing, or maybe even frustrating, but you're making the right choice. Have you been struggling with grief or loss? Do you find it hard to stay happy this time of year? Did you survive a traumatic event and now feel like a completely different person? Well there's a group for that! I utilize group therapy and psycho-education to normalize the therapeutic experience when individual counseling can feel isolating. Group offers the client relatability and community. Witnessing the healing and growth of others can help you experience healing and growth of your own. If this is your first time seeking therapy, or you aren't quite comfortable with the group experience, individual therapy is available. Have you noticed increased anxious feelings? Let's practice grounding and systematic desensitization. Are you tired of feeling a certain way and just can't seem to get over things? Maybe we can try brainspotting. Have you survived a sexual assault or violation, and not sure how to move forward? Lets try EMDR. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I can also provide you with information for additional support services that can enhance your process. I'm here to help. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. Let's work together!
Clients can expect the intake session to include a detailed history taking with discussion about previous mental health experience, family history, social life, and presenting concerns.
My greatest strength as a therapist is educating and equipping clients with skills and information that help them feel empowered and in control of their lives.
My target audience would include adults age 21-65 who may have had some therapy before, but have reached a ceiling and looking for a way to break through.
I use Brainspotting for deeper processing and exploration when appropriate. A useful intervention when clients are feeling stuck with decisions, or blocked in their emotions.
I use EMDR for treating client with unresolved trauma or emotional pain. Helping clients improve emotional regulation and somatic processing.
CBT plays a huge role in most treatment methods. I often use narrative therapy and parts work to help clients understand the origin of their beliefs, the influence of those beliefs on their decisions, and how thinking differently can change how they feel.
I use grief therapy both individually and in a group setting for helping client redefine life without the deceased loved one.
I am certified as a clinical trauma professional, therefore I consider the influence of trauma in all aspects of emotional pain.

Every time I meet with Lauren, I come out feeling better than when I went in. She is a very good listener and always has wonderful insight on whatever we are discussing
