My name is Lauren Bennett, and I am an EMDR trained LPC Associate in Fort Worth, Texas (supervised by Courtney Guhl Huckabay, M.Ed., LPC-S, RPT-S, NCC).
We all get stuck sometimes. After we've run out of all of our internal resources we may need help. In those times, we may not be able to see hope, so we borrow it from someone else. That's where I meet my clients, offering space for them to share their story and find healing.

I focus on utilizing an intersectional anti-racist lens to lead treatment and highlight individuals whose needs are often overlooked including BIPOC, queer, immigrant/refugee, women and children.
Adulting is hard. Being a kid is hard. Being human is hard. Having access to all of the world all of the time is hard. It’s overwhelming and everyone has an opinion. And sometimes it can just become too much. Every stage of life comes with what seems like insurmountable obstacles. This day and age with the seeming constant comparison to a perfect social media life can leave one feeling impossibly more than less than. Sometimes we just need a little help. A place to sit with our reality without the judgement or the press to have it all.

Stephanie has comprehensive experience of working with clients of all ages but has concentrated on working with children, adolescents, and young adults with a history of abuse and neglect.
I am also passionate about successes found through EMDR in all age groups. EMDR is an evidence based, highly researched therapeutic model used for many diagnosis. Adding an Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach to EMDR has proven to be extremely effective in helping process trauma in a way that reduces symptoms and level of disturbance more effectively.

I provide individual faith-based therapy to children, teen girls, and women where I combine evidence-based therapy (like CBT) with the encouragement and truth of God’s Word to support your healing and mental health.
Are you a Christian woman or teen girl feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, high expectations at school/work, and the pressures of life?

I have provided countless sessions from small children (where I specialize in working with ages 3-10) to adults for over 6 years now.
As we explore together your life’s trials in therapy, I tend to navigate and mediate from a person-centered/non-directive approach of counseling. I find that this pairs well with my experience in EMDR, allowing you to feel how you feel and when you feel it. Incorporating this as well as mindfulness practices allows for brain/body connection and healing.

A great quote says that without a goal, you can't score. The same concept is taken a step further in the Bible, where it says that without a vision, people perish. It's easy to overlook the importance of courageous goals and bold, new visions--that can create a new quality of life for ourselves and those we love.

Most of us can easily think of the obvious benefits to counseling but a mental/emotional investment is required to reap those benefits. Unfortunately there is no magic wand or magic pill and as a therapist I cannot "fix" anyone. But...I can teach you how to use your thoughts for your success rather than your destruction. I can show you how your thoughts can be used as the steering wheel of your emotions and behavior. I can help you acquire and employ cognitive and behavioral strategies that will facilitate better communication and improve the relationship with yourself and others.

I am a psychologist in practice at The Center for Integrative Counseling and Psychology. And I believe in mutuality. I believe that all persons deserve it in relationships, even when things feel too complicated. So I naturally prioritize a collaborative, exploratory, and enlightening relationship for healing - both in psychotherapy and in evaluation. When I work with any age or circumstance, the work seeks to understand words, thoughts, behaviors, and meanings. Because these all can lend themselves towards strengths or difficulties.

Child Therapists
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
