I’m Lauren Butler, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about helping people feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally supported in their lives. My work is rooted in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can be honest about what they’re going through and feel truly heard.
I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, empowering, and practical—not intimidating. My goal is to help clients better understand themselves, break unhelpful patterns, and build healthier ways of coping so they can move forward with more clarity and confidence.
Are you ready to go from surviving to thriving? I am a Holistic Mental Health Expert & Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapist with 20 years of experience. I offer scientific evidence-based, naturopathic treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma and other mental health issues. Together we will heal unresolved childhood emotional wounds, trauma, PTSD, Complex -PTSD & remove psychological blocks & barriers. Offering options in mindfulness skills training, meditation, EMDR and somatic treatment for nervous system regulation.
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or the effects of addiction can make it difficult to feel like yourself. You may be exhausted from carrying emotional pain, struggling with relationships, navigating major life changes, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. If you're trying to manage intense emotions, heal from past experiences, or regain a sense of stability and control, therapy can provide a supportive space where you feel understood without judgment and empowered to move forward.
I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma. I affirm people of all identities and backgrounds. My specific areas of interest include working with individuals with a queer identity, those in non-traditional relationships, and those who have experienced religious trauma.
