Lauren Garraffa

I have had many years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children with a multitude of needs. I take an integrative, person-centered, and trauma-informed approach. I incorporate various evidence-based practices tailored to individual needs. I feel passionate about supporting clients in navigating challenges and working toward their goals.

Since the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest factors of success in therapy, our work will begin by building a strong therapeutic relationship. My role is to help guide you on your journey. I believe that therapists learn from their clients as they are the experts in their lives. Together, we will explore your expectations for treatment, collaboratively identify/explore your goals, and create a plan for our work.

My role as a therapist is to guide, support, and help clients build awareness of their feelings. I believe that, through therapy, people can help understand their emotions, experiences, and inner strengths, which will help guide them in the right direction.
