She specializes in using specific therapeutic techniques that target issues with co-dependency, boundaries, traumatic events (ex. affairs, abuse history), emotional reactivity and dysfunction, sexuality and intimacy issues, as well as deep rooted insecurities that negatively impact maintaining healthy relationships. Lauren incorporates psychotherapy strategies that center around specific gender issues for women and men, individualizing her action plans to address presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, low sex-drive, addictions, anger, mistrust, mood disorders, adjustment issues, among others.

What to Expect

This will help to determine your overall plan and how often you will need to meet for therapy. Lauren will provide a confidential, open space where you will feel welcome. You will receive empathy, compassion, and support to allow for self-awareness to bring about the change you are seeking.

Rates

Lauren's rates are based on the services you receive. She specializes in individual counseling, couples and marriage therapy, and family systems techniques. Your session can be 50-90 minutes and Lauren will help you understand how therapy works for your unique circumstance.

Lauren's Clinical Background

Lauren received her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Vermont and her Master of Science degree from Stetson University. Her clinical experience began with non-profit agency work helping clients who struggle with addictions, poor boundaries, unhealthy coping skills, and toxic relationships. Through this type of agency work, she became more motivated to pursue additional certifications in her personal time that would expand her clinical skill set to the private practice setting. She became proficient in anxiety relief techniques, relationship counseling expertise, and self-empowerment modalities. She looks forward to teaching individuals and couples the techniques she has mastered so they can get the most out of their lives and their connections with others.
