Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and a Licensed Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapist (LMFT).
I've worked with clients in all walks of life, with many different therapy goals. A few common themes that consistently walk through my door are anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, and depression.
I typically use a blend of person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy.
My journey into mental health began as a path to healing for myself. Experiencing significant family mental health and addiction challenges, I saw how a broken system could worsen treatable issues. Personally navigating trauma, ADHD, and neurodivergent symptoms, I found deep healing through a blend of Western psychology and Eastern spirituality practices. I offer a deeply personalized approach and connect authentically with the people I serve.
Provides psychiatry care services to patients ages 6 &up. Prior to starting Phoenix Minds, I was a Nurse Practitioner at Heartland Physicians, worked inpatient, outpatient setting@ Woodland Springs Hospital, Westpark springs behavioral Hospital, Consulted for Encompass health in Woodlands& vision park.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from University of Texas Arlington, and Master of Science in Nursing immediately after. Board certified by ANCC and have 19 years of Nursing experience.
I received my graduate education at Loyola University of New Orleans in 2010. Since then I have worked primarily in non-profits with clients transitioning into permanent housing after a period of being unhoused. Working in this setting gave me skills at crisis management, de-escalation and meeting people where they are. I believe everyone is capable of growth and of building the life they want, and that people grow best when met with warmth and compassion.
