Hello! I am Lauren, and I am a clinical social worker licensed in the state of Wisconsin with over 6 years of social work experience. Previously, I have worked with clients who have experienced the following: anxiety, depression, panic disorder, bipolar, personality disorders, hoarding, dementia, autism, trauma, substance use disorders, suicidal ideations, and homelessness. Additionally, I have extensive experience working with geriatric clients 65+ and their caregivers experiencing stress and burnout. I have also worked with diverse multinational and LGBTQ+ clients. In sessions, I utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and validation therapy techniques. I value the importance of you feeling safe and comfortable during sessions and appreciate you taking the opportunity to be vulnerable to help on your path to recovery. If you are interested in working together, please feel free to set up a 15 minute consultation, email, or call. I look forward to working with you!
