In the first few sessions, Lauren takes the time to listen openly and compassionately, getting to know the unique context of your experiences, the obstacles you face, and the goals you wish to achieve. Drawing from her expertise in mindfulness and holistic health, she provides thoughtful
guidance, helping you make sense of your challenges within a broader framework of mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Lauren’s approach reflects her commitment to supporting clients in building a healthier, more balanced life. She communicates with warmth and respect, responding to your emotions with empathy and genuine understanding, creating a space where you can share openly and without judgment.
Lauren honors the importance of acknowledging emotions, no matter how big or small, and gently encourages you to delve deeper into areas where you may feel “stuck” or “lost.” These may be long-held beliefs or thought patterns that contribute to stress, disconnection, or thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you. In therapy, Lauren combines different strategies to guide you in exploring and eventually releasing these patterns, fostering healing and resilience.
In the journey of self-discovery, Lauren actively listens for insights in the stories and behaviors you share, supporting you in reframing negative self-judgments. She offers alternative approaches to handling challenges, often incorporating mindfulness practices that build psychological flexibility and calmness. Lauren also may suggest lifestyle changes that include aspects like exercise, nutrition, nature, and grounding practices such as meditation and deep breathing. Spirituality and self-compassion practices may be explored if those fit within your belief systems. Her aim is to empower you to become more authentic and intentional, enhancing your personal growth and relationships.
Lauren embraces diversity and celebrates each client’s individuality, encouraging you to honor your personal values and needs. She checks in regularly to make sure her approach aligns with your goals and value system so that you feel fully understood. As the work progresses, Lauren gently challenges you to explore fears or resistance, helping you find new strength in confronting these areas. She recognizes your progress and celebrates each milestone, acknowledging your hard work.
Ultimately, Lauren carefully attends to the intricate connections
you have with yourself and others, helping you to remove roadblocks and find a more balanced, meaningful path forward.
