Lauren Anderson, LMSW, CTP
OWNER, THERAPIST
Welcome! I’m a licensed master social worker and certified trauma professional. As a highly empathetic individual, I have had my own journey with mental health struggles. Life can take you down unexpected paths, and sometimes those challenges lead you somewhere beautiful—to self-awareness, gratitude, empathy, and peace. My experience compelled me to learn more about psychology, the impact of trauma on the brain, and the profession that had such a profound impact on my life. Ultimately, I found my calling, and I love what I do. I chose to specialize in trauma because it has provided me the skills to facilitate profound healing.
Throughout my life and career, I have felt and continue to witness something extraordinary: despite profound hardship and our own physical limitations, the human spirit is boundless and enduring. I hope that my patients continue to learn as much from me as I have from them.
I’d like to be your guide and advocate on this challenging, rewarding journey. Your trust is a privilege, and I won’t take it for granted. Let’s collaborate to build your self-awareness and self-compassion. A desire to feel better is the only thing you need to get started. Let’s talk about it!
