In promoting overall wellness and quality of life, mental health therapy plays a crucial role in a client’s journey towards recovery. Those individuals who are affected by a serious illness or chronic condition often face emotional and psychological distress on top of physical symptoms. Mental health therapy can provide essential support and coping strategies for both clients and their relatives, while addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Lauren provides a comprehensive collaborative approach to care that caters to the physical and mental health needs of her clients and their families. Her priority is to guide clients in developing skills to manage their personal situations, within a secure environment of trust and non-judgment. Her approach takes into account both mind-body connection and community and environmental factors.
