Is your child or teen struggling and you are looking for a support for them and your family? Or do they have the motivation to do well but still face behavior challenges and you both need support? Does your teen need a supportive space to process their thoughts and emotions? My name is Lauren and as a child and family therapist dedicated to the Pinellas County community, my goal is to guide children and their families through their journey using CBT to support the social-emotional development of my clients and their knowledge about their cognitive and emotional coping processes.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a strengths-based perspective, recognizing and building upon the inherent resilience and capabilities of every child. I utilize evidence-based practices such as CBT, systems theory, family systems theory to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
I understand that seeking therapy can be a daunting step, especially when it involves your child or loved ones. Therefore, I strive to create a warm and nonjudgmental space where each member of the family feels heard, understood, and valued. Together, we will work towards fostering healthier relationships, enhancing coping skills, and promoting resilience.

I enjoy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with my clients as it provides a great structured view on how a child's brain processes thoughts, emotions and behaviors and guides them to become an active participant in their therapy journey. We can also use it to teach skills targeted to help the child be able to cope better with negative thoughts and stressors at home, school and with peers
