I come to this work with an understanding that people deserve to feel safety and joy in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are interested in bringing curiosity into their lives and experiences. I work best with people who view therapy as a collaborative space, and particularly enjoy working with couples, queer and trans people, and people at any stage of the perinatal experience (pregnancy/early parenthood).

Hi there, I’m Lauren, a therapist at Mountain View Therapy.

I help people get clear on what they want out of life, figure out what's getting in the way, and overcome those obstacles to achieve the lives they want. I work collaboratively and actively with my clients to increase their sense of power to make their own decisions and the resources to act on those decisions. My background and perspective can be particularly useful when working with clients who are high achievers, or who think of themselves as anxious, introverted, shy, and/or neurodivergent, and will use a number of proactive approaches to help.

I am a therapist who specializes in increasing sexual communication, pleasure, and satisfaction for my clients. I work with both individuals and couples to achieve the sexual lives they are looking for. People struggle with sex for many reasons such as learning "sex is bad", concern about differences in desire, no desire, struggling with sex/gender identity, trauma, lack of comfort/education about sex, anxiety about having sex/talking about sex with others, pelvic pain, not orgasming, ED, premature ejaculation etc. If this sounds like you I am here to help without judgement, to collaborate on how to create a new sexual narrative.

Hi there! Are you seeking genuine, straightforward guidance and effective coping strategies enriched by personal experience and practical application? You’ve come to the right place! I specialize in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy). In addition to trauma, EMDR is effective in treatment of phobias, low self esteem, pain management, eating disorders, and performance anxiety. I love supporting my fellow ADHDers and those with chronic illness. Sessions are focused on reducing self-judgment and internalized stigma while finding ways for your environment to work for you.

Confidence, meaningful relationships, and a sense of purpose are fundamental to well-being: depression, anxiety, trauma, and difficult life transitions have a profound way of limiting these. In my thirteen years of practice, I have found that healing rarely happens in a vacuum. Therefore, my approach focuses on creating an authentic and connected space where we can delve into your experiences, thoughts, and emotions, empowering you to chart your unique path forward.

When we're working together, you'll feel some challenge, but you'll also have my support while your life's improving. I'm inquisitive, thoughtful and thought-provoking; my clients often tease me about silly metaphors (see the pizza allegory on my website). All our work is personalized for you. As we work, we'll review and tweak together, so your therapy is both more satisfying and more effective.
