Long-term relationships take work and aren't always easy. If your relationship is struggling, or if you're thinking, "we need a tune-up," I'd love to help. I follow Gottman's research-based approach when working with couples. Do you feel like you and your significant other speak two different languages? A couple's biggest "goal" is often to improve communication and understanding. Other goals may include wanting to feel heard, decrease conflict, feel respected, gain the ability to accept influence from one another, be each other's best friend and teammate versus allies, and more.

I incorporate the Gottman Method in couples counseling and the SYMBIS assessment in premarital work. I have completed level 3 in the Gottman Method training.

Some say couples are often 7 years too late when they come to couples counseling. Do you want a better relationship and are willing to put in the effort to improve it

Welcome. I am so glad you have taken the first steps in seeking help. These first steps are often the hardest and take a lot of courage and vulnerability, but also the start of a beautiful journey of healing. I am Licensed Clinical Social worker who is committed to providing a safe space where a person is comfortable, connected, respected, and empowered to create a trusting therapeutic relationship. It is then where an individual is able to learn and do the work needed for healing, change and growth.

I have experience working with individuals of all ages in need of support with parenting, prenatal and postpartum related issues, attachment, major life changes, school related issues and concerns, foster care and adoption, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, ADHD and family related issues. I am passionate about providing support to first responders and their families and completed my Emergency Medical Response certification in the past to only better understand the work.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative using a strength-based approach and always starting where my client is at. I utilize a variety of modalities based off the needs of each individual, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Circle of Security, Attachment, Inner Child Work and mindfulness. Let’s connect and continue this journey together.

As a clinical therapist and registered yoga instructor for the 8 past years; I stive to bring a humanistic and holistic approach while supporting individuals on a path to healing and empowerment. Incorporating mindfulness-based strategies and evidence-based practices collaboratively brings insight to current, past and present stressors to overcoming various challenges one may be facing. I have experience in a wide variety of age groups in addressing: anxiety, depression, trauma, communication struggles, ADHD, self and body image. These experiences can leave individuals and families overwhelmed and at times hopeless. We will work on establishing a therapeutic relationship that builds on trust, honesty and compassion. Helping is my passion while supporting individuals to meet their goals with skills to be able to manage emotions and everyday life challenges. In a safe, non-judgmental and nurturing environment we will connect to strengths and build knowledge, skills and tools to reach individual and family goals.  

Life is a unique journey filled with a wide range of experiences that can leave us feeling confused, angry, hurt, lost, and so many other emotions that can prevent us from growing and thriving and can even cause us to question our faith. Though you may feel stuck I believe you have the capacity to grow and heal and become the magnificent person you were created to be, filled with light, love and hope. It is my honor and privilege  to join your journey and walk beside you as you seek to find healing, clarity, and understanding.

Licensed Marriage family therapist

My desire is to help families, couples, and individuals work towards their own identified goals for treatment. I believe in using an individualized, all-encompassing approach to therapy; exploring both the external and internal parts of the intricate human experience and relationships. I work from the belief that all people have an inherent desire and longing to be understood by others and to fully understand their own behaviors and thoughts in order to change, learn, and grow in ways that fulfill their relationships and relationship to self. I enjoy using experiential techniques in the therapy room and using the therapeutic relationship as a model to promote healthy and trusting relationships outside of the therapy room. I have experience in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, and relationship issues. I feel all people seeking therapy have within them the strength and courage needed that make up an integral part of the healing process.

Lauren Proffitt

LMSW

Hi! I am Lauren, a Middle School Social Worker by day and a mother of three rambunctious boys by night. My career history ranges from adults coping with substance use challenges to the daily challenges of school aged children. Life can be hard, struggle is normal, and I want to be here to help guide you and your child through it. No matter the challenges you and your child face, I believe we heal through human connection and effective communication. An important part of counseling for me is doing so collaboratively between family, school, and the child themselves. The ultimate goal is for your child to leave with a better understanding of their feelings, what triggers them, and how to communicate them to the people in their lives.

Through our work together, I will utilize my Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) training, to give children specific strategies to help identify and manage their day to day feelings in a more effective and safe way. My work in schools leads me to focus on each individuals’ strengths and come up with solutions for their weaknesses. My focus on problem solving along with my training in Multi-Dimensional Family Therapy (MDFT) will help both children and parent(s) feel heard, have their perspectives validated, and help increase effective communication in the future. I want to help children learn and grow into better versions of themselves. I look forward to meeting and working with you and your child.
