Lauren Powers

I love helping kids, teens, & adults who feel stuck. Stuck with fears, stress, and worry. Stuck with anxiety that makes it hard to do things. Stuck with memories of a frightening event that happened a long time ago, but feels like it was just yesterday. Stuck with difficulties related to complex and attachment trauma. My areas of specialization include anxiety and trauma. I am an EMDR trained therapist, which is a highly effective therapy for treating trauma for all ages. I am also completing certification as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. Whatever you are facing, I believe there is hope to become unstuck! As a Registered Play Therapist I use evidence based practices, interpersonal neurobiology & play therapy to help kids face tough situations and recognize their strengths & resiliency. With teens/adults I use an integrated approach focused on your unique needs & goals. I view authentic connection between the therapist and client as a key part of the process Entering into a counseling relationship can stir up mixed emotions. It’s natural to feel apprehension about inviting someone into your world – you will be met with support! It is so important to feel comfortable with the therapist you are choosing to trust for yourself or your child/teen and I provide compassionate care combined with tools for change.
