About Lauren (she/her/hers)
I’m Lauren, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Director of Clinical Operations here at WHC. I approach therapy as a highly collaborative process; one that prioritizes the values of a strong therapeutic relationship — trust, support and unconditional positive regard- and aims to expand on the existing strengths of the individual.
In sessions I provide support, guidance, and a structure that allows you to discover personalized solutions — within yourself. I specialize in substance use and addictive disorders. Whether you are interested in quitting
completely or just cutting back, are looking to take a closer look at your substance use, or are in long-term recovery and seeking additional support, together we can develop a personalized recovery plan that meets your lifestyle.
For my own self care I enjoy long walks with my dog Dina, listening to audiobooks and cooking with my husband.
