Lauren is absolutely amazing. I was unsure about starting therapy as a male but after my first session with Lauren I was so happy I did. She listens, is attentive, provides great feedback, and has provided me with tools to help with my anxiety. She deserves a raise.

She is honestly very good at her job. I don’t know what else to say without making it sound disingenuous

Lauren really takes the time to understand how you feel, and makes you feel better after each session.

Lauren is a great therapist! Her way of going about therapy really suites my needs and it’s been helping me through difficult times! It’s like texting a diary friend!

Lauren so far is great, I’m comfortable with her which takes a lot for me to get that way. She also works around my schedule to make sure I get my session in. I look forward to my progress with her.

Have been seeing Lauren for around 6 months and she is has been wonderful and truly has been a breath of fresh air.

This was my first time ever seeking counselling and was very hesitant and nervous, but that quickly faded away the more I spoke with Lauren. She is incredible with what she does, is an amazing listener, and her techniques work in a way that naturally lets you bring topics out without feeling uncomfortable. I feel like I could tell her anything.

She is highly skilled in what she does and truly can’t imagine seeing anybody else. Hope to continue counselling with her as she has already been such a huge help. I highly recommend Lauren to anybody out there who needs help.

Lauren has made my experience with therapy a very positive and enjoyable one. That is not something I thought I would ever say about therapy, but here I am saying it. Lauren is an amazing listener and guide during our sessions and even when I don't have the words to express something or answer a question, she still seems to understand what I try to or want to say, which is a testament of her qualification as a therapist. I would be quick to recommend her to someone struggling mentally. She will not disappoint and help you find your way to where you want to be.

Lauren the REAL MVP!!!

Written on Jan 22, 2022 after therapy with Lauren for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety

Lauren is exactly what I have been looking for in a therapist - someone who is available, listens to my struggles, asks thoughtful questions, and challenges me to better understand why I am feeling a certain way. I didn't have great luck with the two previous therapists I was assigned when I first signed up for Betterhelp but Lauren has been excellent thus far.

Lauren has been an exceptional support during an incredibly challenging period over the last few weeks. She was curious to understand my circumstances fully, and then supportive by providing thoughtful responses and perspective to help guide my feelings and thoughts. She was also honest, direct and challenged me appropriately and professionally. I absolutely welcome the opportunity to work with her again when the time is right for me to re-engage.

Lauren is an exception listener, she is attentive, and patient.

She provides a great balance between being in the moment and providing perspective, while also offering materials and practical tools for dealing with your mental health practice.

Working with her is also so uncomplicated. She is there for every meeting, responsive on chat and generally conveys a sense of professionalism alongside her easy going personality that puts you at ease during your sessions.

Lauren is an exceptional help and comes highly recommended- thank you!

I’ve only had one session and can already tell she is very good in her field. She doesn’t seem like just another counselor.

Lauren is kind, has a human approach and offers support in the least judgemental way I’ve ever experienced. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to talk to without feeling like they’re being overly analyzed. I’m sure she tailors the approach based on client preferences, but she genuinely makes me feel like I’m being seen and heard and not pathologized which can be hard to find in therapy
