I'm Lauren Atencio, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a Master’s Degree from UCCS. With 7 years of experience, I specialize in high acuity mental health, eating disorders, substance abuse, veteran support, and life transitions. I'm committed to supporting your journey to recovery and growth.
I believe in trauma's profound impact on daily life, shaping behaviors and internal dialogue, burdening us with guilt and shame. But you're not alone; together, we'll explore past events and reclaim control. With a developmental trauma lens, we'll uncover connections and empower healing. Understanding trauma's effects is key to finding your authentic self and fostering confidence for a fulfilling life.
You'll find a safe, supportive space to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment. I'll help you navigate life's challenges and find inner peace. With compassion, we'll address mental health concerns and life transitions. Throughout, you'll receive guidance and support on your journey to recovery and growth. By exploring past experiences, we'll work towards healing and empowerment. My goal is to help you uncover your authentic self and build confidence for a fulfilling life.
