Does the current weight of the world have you feeling FROZEN, cut-off from your inner light and creative spark? Have you sought therapy, but feel the tools are just a "band-aid" for symptoms? Feeling more anxious or depressed? If these issues resonate, I can help. I am Lauren Pillster, and I enjoy working with clients ready to do DEEP inner work, using a mind-body-spirit connection approach to get to the root cause of your symptoms. Gently moving together to heal childhood wounds or past trauma, we can help you realize your strengths, reconnect to your authentic purpose, and ultimately transform your life.
As a holistic all-inclusive therapist, I integrate various treatment modalities including CBT. I am deeply trauma-informed and neurodivergent-affirming. I specialize in treating individuals with symptoms of depression, anxiety, and relationship issues; and enjoy working with LGBTQIA+, creatives, and those who work in nursing, teaching and counseling.
I strive to build a trusting relationship with my clients and provide a safe space to be fully seen and heard. From my own experience as well as others', I have seen the amazing healing benefits of therapy. I feel honored to hold space and witness clients become the person they are MEANT to be.
