Lauren Riegert

Hello! I've been in the mental health field for nine years, working with eating disorders, personality disorders, trauma, and addiction issues. I am a Queer identifying therapist and am polyamorous, and work well with folks looking to explore themselves more. I love using humor, warmth, and a direct approach in my work with people. I have been formally trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Anchored Relational Therapy for C-PTSD, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. The thing I care most about is building a comfortable and trusting therapeutic relationship with whomever I work with.

My approach is rooted in finding the balance between change and acceptance. I help people find compassion for themselves, while also staying accountable to their goals. I specialize in eating disorder treatment, and know how to help folks challenge unhelpful patterns without getting sucked into shame.

My goal over the first few sessions is to start understanding what brought you to therapy, and come up with some concrete goals for our work together. I want people to feel relaxed and at ease, so we will figure out a pace that feels right to you.
