Lauren Peffer

I have over 24 years of experience working with adults, children, and couples addressing stress, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, depression, PTSD, and life transition issues. I am experienced in treating emotional, physical, and sexual trauma. I can help you focus on your life goals and overcome obstacles. I generally assign "homework" each week based on your goals so therapy stays focused in a forward direction. I am here to help you make life feel and be more manageable.

Life is difficult. It is so easy to become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and feel like we have lost our way. I can help. I use a flexible approach to therapy with a mix of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, and other evidence-based therapies to help you move forward with your life in a healthier way. Rather than focusing on what is “wrong” with you, let’s discover what’s “right” and build on that.

My goal from the first session is for you to take away practical solutions. We will work on skills that help you manage stress, a greater sense of calm and focus, and practical assignments that will help you practice your new skills and behaviors.
