About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping adults navigate anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and emotional challenges while building confidence, healthier boundaries, and meaningful change.
Hi, I’m Lauren! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Ride the Wave Counseling. The decision to start therapy can come with anxiety, uncertainty, and self-doubt, but choosing to prioritize yourself and your well-being is an important first step. While starting therapy can feel hard, finding an approachable and empathetic therapist doesn’t have to be. While it’s my job to support and guide you through therapy, it’s my passion to empower, encourage, and help you work toward your goals. I believe that building a strong relationship and creating a space where you feel safe, heard, and comfortable being yourself allows therapy to become truly supportive and collaborative. I want you to feel like you can show up as your authentic self, move at your own pace, and know that we’re in this together. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you start. I’m so happy you’re here, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
