I could not have found a therapist more aligned with my needs. Lauren is professional but casual and easy to talk to. She is always ready with helpful tools and considerate of my needs in a 100% judgement free way. She also helps to keep me focused on my goals which is a struggle for me. She is compassionate and her guidance is perfectly attuned to my needs. I have had massive shifts already after only a few weeks. I would absolutely recommend her!

Spent some time with Lauren as my therapist, had to cancel my account, grateful I’m able to pick back up with her a year later. She remembered my stories and situations and was already super helpful after our first session. Looking forward to continuing on and growing more with Lauren and teen counseling!

Written on Feb 26, 2023 after therapy with Lauren for 1 month on issues concerning relationship

Our therapist is so receptive to what we are going through and really does listen to both sides of the story as well as provide guidance in a way that is not intrusive or blasé.
She actually gives me hope in trying to remedy our relationship issues and does it such a respectful way.
I was very hesitant about doing therapy online from the start and did completely changed my perspective in what can be achieved if both parties are in it to win it.
And even if they “both” are not, I’ve still gained so much insight on how to proceed from here on.
Thank you Lauren

Written on Sep 28, 2022 after therapy with Lauren for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, and career difficulties

My therapist is extremely helpful. She listens to me and understands where I’m coming from and my background. She knows how to speak to me and has so much of experience with people who have traumas! She also knows what subject to touch and which one she shouldn’t. She has huge amounts of understanding of someone and helps me to see the positive. I choose teen counseling and I feel I made the right choice! Would I ever recommend teen counseling to someone in need of help in a more professional way? The answer is yes and especially for someone who has been abused. I feel understood for once and I would definitely recommend Lauren as a recommendation for therapy! Thanks to Lauren I’m healing day by day!
