Lauren Tatro, LPC, ATR
Counseling with Lauren:
(She/Her)
As a clinician, I offer an integrated approach that combines traditional psychotherapy with creative artmaking and evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I believe in the power of creative expression and incorporate nonverbal techniques alongside verbal processing to help clients explore and understand their thoughts and emotions.
My therapy approach is multi-sensory, strengths-based, and designed to help you gain insight, foster self-awareness, and achieve personal growth. I create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can express your feelings, gain clarity, and work through your challenges. My goal is to support you in discovering solutions, cultivating emotional and social development, and facilitating healing.
I specialize in working with individuals of all ages, providing support for mood disorders, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, and gender-affirming care. Whether you're navigating emotional pain, seeking personal growth, or undergoing life changes, I am committed to providing unwavering support to help you move toward a healthier, empowered version of yourself.
