Lauren Vanhusen

I am passionate about working with women identified individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression etc. I work best with individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives but are feeling “stuck”. Using a gentle and collaborative approach, we will find ways to move past these road blocks and get you back to living a more meaningful and fulfilling life. My role is to walk alongside you as we discover more workable solutions. We may also explore how your past experiences, current thought patterns, relationship to your internal experiences, and cultural context influence how you are feeling. My approach to therapy is informed by evidence based treatments including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness. I am trained in therapies for trauma (e.g., Cognitive Processing Therapy) and have significant experience working with individuals with emotional reactions to a medical diagnosis/chronic illness/pain.
