Lauren is an amazing therapist. Right away, she had the sensitivity to understand what my issue was.

I've had a physical (face to face) therapist and was horrible. Lauren is so understanding, asking questions to get to what I needed to help me. Doesn't ignore anything and is dedicated to helping and I'm so much grateful for her help. She has patience which a few therapist don't have. Thank you Lauren

Lauren is so knowledgeable and personable. She’s a great sounding board when I need it and offers honesty and solutions when that’s what needed. She’s helped me so much already. Going through a bunch of life changes last year was difficult, but she’s given me so much amazing advice and helped me re-discover my own resilience and courage. I’m truly grateful for her guidance and support.

Lauren is amazing. She listens carefully, follows what I’m saying ( and what I’m trying to say ) and responds to it. I feel heard!
She has given me a brand new perspective and some very good, solid advise. I appreciate having her as my therapist.
I’m delighted.
