My name is Lauren Hoekstra, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who has experience working with children, teens, adults, & couples. My ideal client is anyone open to exploring new ways of thinking and working collaboratively to achieve their goals. I am passionate about stepping alongside my clients and empowering them to be the best version of themselves.
My counseling style is warm, non-judgmental, collaborative, and encouraging. I base my approach on the needs of my clients, whether they are trying to find more insight within themselves, discover new ways of thinking, or overcome past traumas. I specialize in using attachment theory, CBT, solution-focused theory, & play therapy.
It is my goal to provide you with insight and inspiration to be the best version of yourself. I aim to create an atmosphere where you feel supported and safe, while also empowered to make positive changes in your life. I am passionate about walking alongside my clients in support of them and empowering them to make positive life changes.
