Lauren's favorite thing in the world to do is show individuals their value and to help people make peace with themselves and their fears.
Clients often come to me because they feel enslaved to their thoughts. Sometimes they find themselves spending 3-8 hours a day obsessing over fears such as losing loved ones, hurting friends, or acting on unwanted impulses. They want to learn how to be free from having to perform certain rituals or mentally track and replay experiences in order to "neutralize" or prevent some perceived threat. I can help you get there through the gold standard of treatment: CBT and ERP! Listening, caring, and advocating for others is my priority. I am a Christian and live to be an instrument of Jesus' mercy, no matter where you are in your faith.

I have had the privilege of working with individuals in the social services field for over 10 years; realizing my dream of becoming a counselor has allowed me to reach out to people who have been struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, and the sensation of being overwhelmed.
Helping individuals understand and realize their potential has always been my dream. Too often we become overwhelmed with the struggles of everyday life and find ourselves putting the needs of others first; we feel that if we do otherwise, we are being selfish. Sometimes it’s hard to see the light when you’re looking down a dark tunnel. I believe that helping others see that light is the greatest thing a counselor can do.

Anxiety Therapists

What are the most common treatments for anxiety?

Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioral therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other popular forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.

How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?

The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.

When should I seek treatment for anxiety?

Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.

How effective is treatment for anxiety?

Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
