Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome. I am Dr. Lauren Smith and I have over 20 years of experience working in the field. I have a doctorate of psychology and specialize in reproductive trauma (infertility, loss, adoption), peri/post menopause, and chronic health conditions (i.e. obesity, chronic pain).

A bit about my approach to therapy

I consider myself a Holistic Psychologist and while I have been trained in many modalities of therapy (CBT, Interpersonal, positive psychology and family systems), my approach is completely individual and customized to each client that I see. My approach is always person centered and each client is the guide to how we work together.

What you can expect from our first session

I offer a safe and judgement free space for you to talk about your feelings, your hopes, your fears and where we can work together to get you to a place where you feel stronger, happier and more balanced.

Lauren's style is

Warm
Open-minded
Holistic
