Like all therapists, I'm not for everyone. I don't fit the stereotypical image, walk to the beat of a different drum, maybe like yourself. I try to offer a balance of strength and compassion. I don't want to be solely soft and safe, nor exclusively forceful and aggressive. The art is in finding that balance and offering you that unique mix. You'll probably be divulging some pieces of yourself that are raw and weighty and maybe even a bit scary. This can be difficult, I know, I was a client before I was ever a therapist.

Therapy is about healing and self growth. It is about making decisions and achieving life goals. It is about bettering relationships and building meaningful ties.

I will assist in the process of gaining insight, while making decisions which breed personal and professional success. I will help in cultivating and improving relationships.

I am Lauren Widmark, an LMHC specializing in addiction, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, life transitions, grief, and loss. My approach varies based on the client's needs, and I use a variety of methods that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Eclectic, Humanistic, and Trauma Focused therapies. I have found that each client requires a unique form of treatment. I believe that addiction and other issues are a symptoms of something deeper that is going on.

I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma after unexpected life events. Through my eclectic approach, clients gain a new perspective and free themselves from self-defeating thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Reframing is powerful. It empowers clients to choose a different way to look at their situation so they can find self compassion, acceptance, and peace. As an African American woman, I also understand how race and ethnicity play a factor in mental health. My practice offers strategies addressing racial stress and microaggressions. Let’s find ways to respond, heal, and move forward.

We all face challenges at some point in our lives. Most often, you can manage it with the help of your friends, families or on your own. But, there are times when you might need professional guidance and support to learn specific techniques to help you manage your thoughts and feelings. As your therapist, I will ensure that you feel trusted and respected. Working together, we can gain insight and understand the relation between your emotions, core beliefs and behaviors, and then proceed to find solutions to your challenges. I adopt an eclectic and collaborative approach to therapy.

I am an eclectic psychotherapist who offers a safe space grounded in empathy and understanding. I fully believe that you are the author of your story and you get to create the narrative to your life. I am trained in numerous modalities and interventions, but I use a personalized therapeutic style that best fits your needs.

You are looking to make changes in your life, but don’t know where to start. Or maybe it feels like there are too many changes in your life and it's making you anxious. You are in the midst of a life transition and are feeling anxious. There are so many valid reasons that people seek out therapy. It is one of the most personal experiences and therefore, I believe in a very individualized approach.

At some point along the way, we all struggle with something. Family, career, relationships, depression, anxiety---something---and we need help to get unstuck and move towards living a more satisfying and authentic life. This is where psychotherapy comes in. I truly believe in its power to bring about personal transformation, help us better understand ourselves, and work through life's difficulties. Life isn't easy, and often, seeking help isn't either. But finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is the courageous first step.

Do you have anxiety and depression? Perhaps you're experiencing severe stress from the changes going on in your life, and you're having difficulty adjusting. If this is you, then I can help. As a practitioner for 18+ years, I have expertise in the treatment of Depression, Trauma, Grief/Loss, and Generalized Anxiety Disorders to help you work through your challenges, maximize your strengths, and embrace change in your life. As a black identified biracial woman, I am deeply interested and passionate about working with a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic clientele who may carry multiple racial, sexual, and gender identities.

We all sit in the driver seats of our lives, but sometimes it can be hard to juggle driving while reading the map, taking care of the passengers, and noticing the sidewalks. My role as a therapist is to sit beside you, picking up the things that you are too focused to notice and follow your lead on your exploration and healing. Reaching out for help may feel scary and require a lot of courage and vulnerability, but it feels a bit better when we don’t have to face our challenges alone. I provide a supportive safe space, by building upon trust, honesty, and genuineness.

In our sessions together, you can expect my therapeutic style to be warm, empathetic and person-centered. Therapy should not be one-size-fits-all and I recognize that every client brings a different story to session. You are the expert of your own experience and I will take the time to understand how we can collaborate together to work on your own personal therapeutic goals. We will work to help you develop new tools, process your experiences, emphasize your strengths and celebrate the little victories along the way.

I relate to client struggles through the lens of real-world experience. During my 30 year career supporting others through workplace and life challenges as a leadership and executive coach in HR/organizational and leadership development roles for corporations and nonprofits, I found my calling as a psychotherapist in how “what we do,” intersects with “who we are." My approach is eclectic and intuitive, tailored to your unique needs, and drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including neuro-informed somatic practice, and strengths-based perspectives.

It's been a wild ride the past few years, wouldn't you agree? Perhaps you're feeling burned out, uncertain about your next steps or you just need a place to bring your anxiety and frustrations about life. I believe that everyone has innate resilience and the ability to find solutions, no matter how bad or uncertain things seem. Often it's when you finally ask for help that the greatest opportunity for growth and change occurs. I can help you move through those difficult places, whether it feels like depression, anxiety or feeling stuck. If you improve one area of your life, the rest will follow.

My years of psychodynamic work have brought me full circle to the realization that patterns of fear and doubt are most often at the core of one's desire for seeking help. Along with this awareness is the keen understanding that there are blueprints & pathways to enable one to move beyond these challenging states of being. Applied Attachment Theory provides a lens as well as a portal to transform insecurities when it is combined with eclectic models of developmental trauma designed to concurrently address the fears embedded in one's mind and nervous system. Hence, a psycho-biological integrative approach for transformation!
