Hi, I'm Lauren! I have diverse experience supporting people with ADHD, anxiety, autism, depression, trauma/PTSD, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship issues, intimate partner violence, neurodivergence, cancer, and behavioral concerns. I utilize trauma-informed, evidence-based, person-centered approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Integrative Somatic Trauma Treatment, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and play-based techniques.
I strongly believe in creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can expect to feel supported and empowered, including the LGBTQ+ community. We are in-network with many insurances and we handle all billing paperwork for you. Our intake coordinator is happy to help, so please reach out with any questions.
Therapy is a time to focus on YOU and I give you so much credit for making time for yourself. I work with many amazing therapists, so if I don't have what you need, please contact our intake coordinator. One of us can help! Email is the best way to reach us, and they are returned quickly, so if you don't hear back quickly, please check your spam folder.
Take the first step to help. Call or Lauren Petosa now - (838) 213-7234

During our first few sessions, we will get to know each other and create a treatment plan that works for you. My aim is for you to start to feel relief, empowerment, self-awareness, and an increased sense of peace within the first couple of sessions, with sustained improvement thereafter.
