Lainey Herring

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist who specializes in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation challenges, substance use, and major life transitions. I have experience working with diverse populations, including those involved in recovery and those managing significant life stressors. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and grounded in meeting you where you are. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy that focuses on building insight, emotional awareness, and practical coping skills. I believe therapy should be both supportive and growth-oriented, combining compassion with real-world tools you can use in your daily life. Together, we will explore patterns, strengthen resilience, and develop strategies that align with your goals. I tailor my approach to each individual, ensuring that therapy feels relevant, empowering, and effective.

In our first session, you can expect a relaxed, supportive environment where you can share at your own pace. We will discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin identifying areas you’d like to focus on. There is no pressure to have everything figured out—showing up is enough. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and hopeful about the process moving forward.
