Enhance Your Wellbeing
It is endlessly fascinating to me how humans exist in worlds within worlds. We can go macro and look at the larger outer systems like the ecosystem, social system, political system, or family system. Or we can go micro and look at the world of each of our psyches, which are no less complex and interconnected.
I see diagnosis as a helpful guidepost, but believe it says little about the enormity and complexity of the person before me.
In our work, I want to help you get to know and love you. This may involve looking at all these systems and how they have come together and helped shape you into your miraculous, unique self. It may also involve looking at the system of parts within you and getting to know each one by utilizing the strength of your luminous core self.
We explore your goals and values, the experiences that have shaped your life, and the way that you view and treat yourself. As we help transform negative self beliefs into positive ones, it allows you to expand your perspective of the world around you and your place in it. We work towards moving forward towards those goals and values and building a meaningful life. I believe each person’s life is beautifully different, meaningful and valid.
Explore what I offer
I am credentialed with Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare. I submit the insurance claim to the insurance company and they reimburse me. Clients often have a co-pay or deductible to fulfill. Clients should call their insurer and confirm that I am in their network before scheduling.
Private Pay is for uninsured clients or those who have insurance other than Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare. The client pays me directly, and I provide them a Superbill to provide to their insurance. They are directly reimbursed by insurance for the session, according to what the insurer agrees to pay.
Nice to meet you, I’m Lauren
Thanks for your curiosity about my work and bravo to your interest in seeking therapy.
I grew up in Southeastern CT, attended RISD, and ultimately earned my Bachelors at Brown University in Gender Studies in 2007. I earned my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family therapy in 2013 from Southern CT State University. My husband and I have lived in NYC, Providence and all over New England before settling back in SE Connecticut to raise our boys.
I’ve been a licensed therapist for about 10 years, but I see my work as a calling and an essential part of my life. Connection and compassion are the cornerstones of the work I do, and all the treatment modalities and interventions I use come from those foundations.
Within this compassion based approach, my specialties are treating Trauma, Anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I utilize Internal Family Systems therapy, EMDR, ACT and CBT.
I’ve been trained extensively in all of those modalities, and earned my Certification from the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) in 2024. I’m also certified by the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) in the treatment of OCD.
