I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Western New York with 19 years experience. I graduated from the University at Buffalo with a Masters Degree in Social Work. I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings . I have worked with many individuals who experience anxiety, depression, past trauma, grief and loss, relationship challenges, family conflict, and adjusting to life changes.
I utilize a client centered and trauma informed approach to therapy and offer a warm and non-judgmental space . I work with each client as individual and strive to help them identify their goals and be a support through their own journey of self-exploration and healing. Each individual has their own story and reason for seeking support at this time in their lives and I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lauren Ellis. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Lauren listens to me and tries to figure out solutions for what I shared with her. She is very kind and offers no judgments
