Lots of good questions.
I have worked with Lauren for six months. She is very supportive and compassionate, I really enjoyed this experience. I am particularly grateful for her being understanding of those moments when we needed to slow down and when I had to take a break.
Very compassionate, patient, and thoughtful.
Lauren is amazing! Very open minded and judgement free.
A very compassionate and focused therapist
