I have found that preteens, adolescents, and young adult women are the best fit for my experience and expertise. I understand that many people, specifically teenagers, do not always want to pursue counseling services. It is my goal to come alongside others and create a warm, nonjudgemental atmosphere for them to feel comfortable working on their mental health needs.

Considering therapy and choosing a therapist is a great first step toward change and healing. As a licensed professional counselor and certified grief counselor, my focus is on life transitions and grief in the adult population. I recognize that grief comes in many forms throughout life. Whether you have found yourself here due to the loss of a relationship, job, sense of self, or death of a family member, friend, pet, etc., it is my mission to be a supportive listener.

When I consider the relationship between a therapist and a client, I want to offer a supportive and nonjudgmental setting to allow a client to address their personal challenges by exploring their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. While gradually exploring additional layers of their concerns to allow them to find a path to a more authentic and satisfying life. I want to provide empathy for clients while empowering them in ways to grow and achieve their goals. I want those seeking comfort and support with their concerns, such as difficulties within their relationships, life stresses, past hurts, depression, anxiety & grief.

If you feel like you’re struggling to find a sense of harmony in your life, feel overwhelmed adjusting to life changes or want to explore current stressors, therapy can be the first step in the right direction. I have experience working with individuals who are looking to improve and navigate areas of their life including general stress, life transitions and adjustments, self-esteem struggles and work towards a healthier mindset towards food, exercise and body image. I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole which includes aspects of both mental and physical well-being.

F. Bea Wallace, MS LPC. I use CBT and person-centered therapy techniques. I use motivational interviewing. I listen actively and offer empathy and compassion while helping the client learn to make better choices. For children, I sometimes use CBT techniques in a more playful, and engaging manner. When using Person-centered therapy with children I attempt to create a safe space for them to express themselves. When working with adults, I tend to delve more deeply into cognitive and emotional processes with CBT, this technique helps adults challenge and reframe their thoughts.

For many years my clients have primarily been individuals, groups, and families coming out of abusive and sometimes violent relationships and addiction. Although that was the original primary focus, most of them also struggled with other accompanying factors like depression, anxiety and other serious mental health diagnoses. My clinical focus has recently shifted to more of a community-based population. I have found this work incredibly rewarding. I enjoy working with additional needs such as grief, prenatal, postpartum depression, and abandonment trauma to name a few.

I believe that the answers are inside you, but they get confused and lost among life's daily battles. They get buried under the opinions of bystanders who don't have to walk in your shoes and experts whose life looks nothing like yours. My goal as a therapist is to help you hear YOU. To clear space where that small voice that knows you better than anyone else, can finally be heard. My job is to listen, to see if you're hearing what I'm hearing and to reflect back where your heart and your head aren't matching up.

My name is Lauren Garrett, and I have been providing therapy since 2018. Before becoming a licensed therapist, I obtained a master’s degree in social work from NYU and NYU Shanghai, and received training at The New School University in New York City. Following graduate school, I spent a year and a half learning from neuropsychologists about Neurofeedback therapy. I have provided therapy in university, residential, private practice, and medical settings. At the core of my therapeutic approach is psychodynamic therapy, which recognizes the profound impact our past experiences have on our present thoughts and behaviors.
