Focus Areas & Specialties
-
Perinatal Mood Anxiety Disorder (PMADS)
Whether you’re expecting, postpartum, or somewhere in between, we hold space for the full range of your experience—joy, fear, grief, rage, numbness, and everything in between. Dr. Lauren is a certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMHC) with a particular focus on birth trauma and perinatal OCD, including intrusive thoughts. Together, we work toward healing and a sense of balance during this deeply transformative time. -
Nontraditional Family Planning
We support individuals and partners navigating the winding paths of IVF, donor conception, adoption, solo parenting, chosen family, and more. However you’re building your family, we honor your process. Our work offers emotional support, practical tools, and space to explore the unique dynamics of your journey.
-
Complex PTSD & Relational Trauma
Healing from betrayal, neglect, or manipulation takes time—and deep tenderness. These experiences shape how you relate to yourself and others. In our work, we co-create a compassionate space to explore these patterns at your pace. With a trauma-informed approach, we support you in reclaiming your inner strength, establishing safety, and nurturing relationships that feel mutual, secure, and aligned.
-
Anxiety Spectrum
From chronic worry to perfectionism, from panic attacks to the relentless hum of overthinking—we offer tools to help you ground, regulate, and move through the world with more ease. We bring specialized expertise in working with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), supporting clients in developing a more compassionate relationship with intrusive thoughts through a mindfulness-based approach that’s both gentle and effective.
-
Parenting & Identity
Raising little humans can awaken old wounds, unmet needs, and unexpected shifts in identity. We help parents untangle the messiness, reconnect to their own voice, and show up with intention and self-compassion.
-
Couples & Relational Therapy
Relationships are living and evolving things—they need care, attention, and room to grow. We work with all relationship structures to deepen communication, untangle resentment, and reconnect—whether that means finding your way back to one another or gaining clarity about what comes next. Whether you’re in a monogamous, non-monogamous, queer, or fluid relationship structure, we offer a supportive space to explore conflict, nurture intimacy, and realign with shared values.
-
Highly Sensitive People (HSPs)
If the world feels too loud, too fast, or too much—you’re not broken. You’re attuned. Here, sensitivity is honored as a strength, not a flaw. We help you build boundaries, deepen regulation skills, and cultivate self-trust—so you can move through life without shrinking, shutting down, or overstimulating.
-
Creatives Stepping into Identity
For the artist in hiding, emerging, or returning—we help you reconnect with your creative self in a space that honors both vulnerability and expression. Together, we explore the fears and blocks that may have silenced your voice or dimmed your spark, creating space for your creativity to return with safety, clarity, and confidence.
-
Executive & Corporate Burnout
You’ve done everything “right”—but you’re exhausted, unfulfilled, or quietly falling apart. We work with high achievers to unpack the pressure of performance culture and redefine success on your own terms. Together, we build a more sustainable path forward—one rooted in balance, purpose, and self-trust.
