Dr. Lauren Helm is clinical psychologist who specializes in treating anxiety disorders, OCD, phobias, ADHD, burnout, and relationship issues. Many of her clients are perfectionists, high achievers, tech professionals, neurodivergent, and/or those facing life transitions such as career shifts, parenthood, aging, or existential uncertainty. She works with individuals and couples who feel stuck but are deeply motivated to grow, strengthen resilience, develop actionable skills, and create lasting change in how they live and relate.
Dr. Helm has extensive training in evidence-based treatments for anxiety disorders, phobias, and OCD, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy (IBCT) for couples work.
Dr. Helm aims to serve as an anchor in times of hardship, a guide when clarity is elusive, and a companion in change as you rise to your potential. Please don't hesitate to reach out and schedule a complimentary 25-minute consultation to determine if Rise Psychology is a good fit for you.
