Lauren is an excellent therapist. She listens to my concerns and provides constructive feedback. She helps keep me on track and checks in on me often. I feel very supported. I really enjoy therapy that easily fits my schedule. Thank you so much.

Shes very professional but sometimes lacks in some expertise about MY disorder, but she has given me lots of resources for my disorder in response to her lack of expertise, i recommend her for people who need advice for how to move on with a chronic disorder, mental mainly. I recommend her for learning to manage grief as well.
