Meet Lauren
Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hood College.
I am deeply passionate about mental health, self-compassion, and personal growth. My experience spans working at two community mental health agencies, where I have supported clients dealing with anxiety, depression, and PTSD. My own lived experiences have given me a special passion for working with anxiety disorders. This personal connection allows me to empathize deeply and better understand what my clients are going through.
I use a person-centered and eclectic approach, meaning we work together to find the best path forward for you. I firmly believe that you are the expert on your own life, and I am here to support you in making the changes you want to see. I am dedicated to tailoring treatment to your individual goals, incorporating elements such as creativity, mindfulness, and goal setting to support your journey.
Life can be incredibly challenging at times, and my goal is to offer you compassion, warmth, and guidance as you navigate these difficulties. I am here to help you find solutions and make the positive changes you desire.
When I’m not working, I love reading all kinds of books, hiking with my Pomeranian, and creating various kinds of art. I look forward to working with you and supporting your path to self-growth and well-being.
