About Lauren
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker from Massachusetts with over 10 years of professional experience. I enjoy working with individuals dealing with issues related to anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, and sexuality issues. I have certificates in Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
I’d like to believe I have been successful in this profession for so many years because not only am I compassionate and non-judgmental, I value the importance of the relationship between a counselor and a client. Trust, communication, and empathy are so important in this field and it is important that clients feel validated.
I appreciate the willingness to even browse the website to look for a counselor, it shows you’re contemplating the work, which is the first step. Thank you for taking the time to get this far, and I hope that in some way I can be of service to you in helping you get to wherever it is you want to go.

What clients say
- “Lauren has been such a big help for me! She's kind and professional, and she digs deep to really understand what's going on. Highly recommend her as a therapist!”
- “Lauren is great! She provides an environment that makes it feel like you are having a casual conversation with a friend and less with a mental health professional. It allows me to be more vulnerable and open about what I’m feeling and the experiences I’ve had. If there is a lull in conversation, she does a great job asking open ended conversations which takes the pressure off of me trying to think and allows me to feel instead.”
- “Lauren has been incredibly helpful with my therapy”
