Great to meet you!

Hi! My name is Lauren, and I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I graduated from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in August of 2023.

After almost 2 years at a state-run residential addiction facility, I began working in a residential eating disorder treatment center where I spent nearly 3 years leading groups and providing individual therapy.

My approach to therapy

I have a compassion-focused, person-centered style. I enjoy helping others connect the dots and understand themselves a little bit better. I use combined modalities from multiple theories to increase self-compassion and become more curious of ourselves and actions.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will identify and set goals while getting to know each other.
