Grief Therapists in Cambridge, MA

The strongest people have the vulnerability ask for help. Whether you recently feel stuck or believe that you past is holding you back from truly experiencing the present, I can assist you in your healing. I enjoy working with clients that have been survivors of all types of trauma, experience grief , have addictive tendencies or struggle in relationships. Clients would be best served by me when they are motivated to make internal and external changes in order to create more harmony in their lives. Ultimately, I would like you to leave our sessions feeling good about our relationship and the relationship you have with yourself.

***I do not currently have availability in my practice*** If you or someone you love is dealing with a life-changing issue impacting your family, work/education, or physical/emotional health or if you are simply looking for personal growth, my practice might be a good fit for you. Whether you are in the "Sandwich Generation" having to support those older and younger than you, you are in a relationship that is struggling with communication, intimacy issues or finances, or you are questioning your chosen career, I can offer a space to process the emotions and build tools together for addressing the issue.

Hi, I'm Dr. Lauren Dumont. While seeking help may come easy for some, I know it is difficult for others. I prioritize co-creating a comfortable environment for us to work within. I am a therapist who is whole-heartedly myself when meeting with clients; my warmth, humor, and caring personality come through during therapy sessions. I strongly believe that identifying and expressing emotions, engaging in genuine moments of connection, re-framing problematic thoughts, and building helpful skills are key ingredients to well-being. No two individuals are the same, so together we will design a therapy plan that is unique for you!

I specialize in interpersonal growth and connection. I have extensive experience helping people understand themselves better and deepen their relationships with others. In therapy, we will collaborate and address issues that block connections and that lead to feelings of being lost, confused, sad, and fearful. I often treat individuals who are searching for greater fulfillment in their lives and who experience isolation. Together, we will look into what purpose these behaviors serve. We will work to make room for new, effective behaviors that present themselves and that will support connections to a more meaningful life.

Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, family or relationship concerns, grief , or other life transitions, I would be honored to join you as we explore the possibilities and limitations you experience in your life.

How do we grow, heal, learn, and develop so as to manifest our authentic being; discern our deepest commitments; and lend our energy, talent, experience, and care to something beyond the self? What beliefs, assumptions, emotions, behaviors, and other experiences interfere with our intentions – and yet have important meanings in their own right? These questions guide my work with people addressing life transitions (across the lifespan); relationships (with self, other, world, and generative pursuits); love and loss (of people, places, assumptions, conceptions of self); and the potential for grace and growth in a process of grief .

In my work as a therapist I seek to create an environment that is caring and supportive while allowing us to identify opportunities for growth and healing. My approach emphasizes skill-building, increasing insight and helping you to return to a life that is balanced, healthy and productive. I believe that with the right fit therapy can be rewarding and even life-changing. I work collaboratively with clients to reduce distress and emotional pain related to issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship concerns among others.
