About Lauren B.
My specialty is helping clients discover and make use of their strengths to address the things in their lives that are causing them distress. I have significant experience helping clients through a variety of transitional periods, including relational changes, and life changes with college students and young adults. I can help you successfully navigate new areas of your life and support you in getting the help you deserve.
I have worked with all ages in both couple, family and individual settings, with a wide range of diagnoses and populations. Much of my experience comes from working with those who experience anxiety and mood disorders as well as family/relationship struggles. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma that are currently experiencing anxious and depressive symptoms. I also have experience working with adolescents who are struggling with self-harm and suicidal ideation and their families. I offer couples therapy to assist in improving communication between partners and reestablishing trust within the relationship. For couples, family and individual therapy, I incorporate parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) while engaging in a strengths-based and family-systems focused approach.
