Lauren’s Approach:

Lauren implements a person-centered approach in order to foster a meaningful therapeutic relationship so that the client feels seen, heard and valued once they step inside the room. She employs cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques in order to help clients examine their thoughts and behaviours to see how it affects their daily lives while working towards the clients’ goals. Due to the fact that therapy is a unique and individualized journey, Lauren appreciates hearing from clients and how she can help them realize their goals in any way possible.
