Lauren Stevens, LPC-MHSP

My areas of interest for counseling include work/life balance, relationship issues, life transitions and development, recovery from unhealthy ways of coping—such as substance use, perfectionism, and co-dependency. I enjoy helping others improve their overall wellbeing, gain a better understanding of personal values and motivation, and learn new skills for decision making and communication, to name a few.

I work from an eclectic theoretical approach, utilizing what appears to work best for reaching the goals of the client I’m seeing. Cognitive-Behavioral and Family-Systems theories along with Narrative, Solution-Focused therapies typically have the strongest influences. In working with clients, I like to spend time examining and exploring both internal and external experiences. This means I believe in the importance of understanding our personal thoughts, feelings and actions, and how these aspects of ourselves influence each other. I also recognize that, as individuals, we live in families, communities, and the world around us, which impacts each of us and vice versa. The aim is for you to discover a path to becoming a healthier individual by embodying and expressing your most authentic self.
